You know the injury is bad when the opposing players are waving wildly to the injured player's bench. Last I heard, they took him to the hospital.

If the Canes can't win any board battles and if their so-called top line can't get it together, this series won't last long.
posted by NoMich at 04:00 PM on June 03, 2026
The Canes were too sad over the news of the passing of Peabo Bryson to be able to properly play their game last night. The game was a whole new world because they were up against a beauty *and* a beast.

Am I right in thinking that the Spurs are a bit ahead of schedule with this deep playoff run?
posted by NoMich at 09:44 AM on May 28, 2026
At this point, I feel like it would take a minor miracle for the shallow Spurs to overcome the very deep Thunder. So, it looks like SGA will be flopping all over MSG like something netted out of the East River.

Yeah, that first goal was, what kids might be saying these days, "sick" or "filthy". The second one (the gamer winner in OT) was just a pure snipe. That dude is good and the Canes got him for 6 years and only $8.5 million per.

Because of the super short turnaround time to get our picks in, I say that we give the late arrivers grace for the Spurs/Thunder series.

Congrats to the Habs for getting past the Sabres. I'm mostly excited that us Canes fans don't have to deal with drunk and violent Sabres fans. Habs fans are usually really cool down here at playoff games, so this is good. I might actually hate to see the Canes crush their beloved team.
San Antonio outlasted OKC last night, but man, they have a much shorter bench and I just can't see them keeping this up against the Thunder.

All Schertz has ever done as a head coach is win, so you have to think that a big school with very deep pockets will come a callin eventually. My guess is Mark Cuban wanting to do to the basketball program what he did with the football program there in Indiana. But who knows!

Rest easy ufez, ya boy will not be poached by NC State. Apparently his buyout is pretty large and kind of complicated. State goes with their old point guard, Justin Gainey.

And my UNC insider(ish) told me this when I asked their search:
Not much. It's been the same 3-4 since the beginning but nothing concrete. Lloyd, Dusty May, Donovan. Some others swear they aren't leaving their school, but have reached out to UNC anyway ... Funny how that works ... . But other than knowing that Donovan would want the job just not sure he's #1 on UNC's list ... the others are hard to nail down. Hard to tell if they're just wrangling for a raise and if UNC is really interested. The basketball side does a decent job of keeping their mouth shut so it's hard to gauge where things are right now. They had a ton of interest but other than being able to narrow down 4-5 guys, it's been fairly quiet. Donovan has made it no secret ... since the job first opened when Roy retired ... that the UNC job is the only one he would leave the NBA for, just not sure how interested UNC is at this point. I have been busy the last couple nights so I haven't gotten an update since Wednesday.

I have a friend here that is from a family that has very deep Raleigh and Wolfpack athletics roots that said this about my question regarding Justin Gainey:
Gainey has never been a head coach, which invites some concerns but yeah ... culturally you couldn't find a better fit. And there's some who have told me that Boo was pushing him last year. He'll be involved in the process, and apparently Corrigan is at least asking about St Louis coach Josh Schertz, who is one of the better offensive minds in college. I've seen Phil Martelli Jr's name floating around too. Those are both solid guys who have won at lower levels, although Shertz has more experience. I like the Furman coach Bob Richey as well. Another solid coach who has stuck it out through some tough circumstances to build a winner at a not so easy place to win.
