[jordville]

Former wrestler and now inspirational speaker on JB...

Nice for his job to allow this sort of thing during a critical time of year.

I get it. I’m the bad guy, not compassionate, blah. I have two kids and I’d want to be there too. But there are literally 8 days this month you need to do your job and he missed at least a quarter of them.

Jimmy and Buddy are playing now, 4pm, on ESPNU.

Buddy made the 1st basket of the game.

It is interesting how much the guys have progressed this week. Playing much more as a unit.

 

[rrlbees]

End of the 1sr half Buddy has 5 pts, 4 rebs and 1 ast. Jimmy has not scored and has 1 reb.

 

[llandz]

Both Boeheims having good all around games. Been in together.

Jimmy most likely will head overseas if he wants a pro career. He's done very well at both Cornell and Syracuse (He was a much better player than I thought). He's a very smart guy who could end up going into the corporate world, satisfied with getting a chance to wear an NBA uniform in summer league. Buddy wasn't bad but also didn't stand out in summer league. Being on a two way contract gives him a chance to continue his pursuit of an NBA career. Cole is is in a better situation - for one, he had a better showing in summer league and two, come the regular season, he will have the opportunity to be on the floor with 2 great players who command a lot of attention.

He will be a success in whatever life has in store for him, even though I think it’s a stretch to say he did well at Syracuse.

Won that.

Won that.

Not a doubt. So proud.

 

[rrlbees]

Buddy played 2 mins last night vs the Knicks. No stats.

 

[OrangeDW]

Won that.

 

[Hopkins16]

Buddy will be playing for the Pistons G League affiliate and will be called up from time to time. Hopefully, he will see some playing time with the Pistons and make the most of the opportunities.

Today at 5pm Eastern is the final NBA roster cuts. Does Buddy have a chance to make the Pistons? Has he been cut already? I don’t follow it too closely.

I think he starts out in the G league,

Buddy is dressed tonight vs the Knicks

Buddy is dressed tonight vs the Knicks

And Knicks up 23 already in the 2nd quarter, so we could see Buddy play in the 2nd half (MSG Network).

3:25 left, Pistons TO, do they empty bench now, down 24

 

[Sbucketball]

Buddy’s in, under a minute left
