Always go for two. You need to know what you need for your next offensive possession, whether that's down 7 or 9. This also gives you the chance to go for two again and win the game on the second TD.

[Jack Settleman @jacksettleman]

Down 15 with 4 minutes to play, you score a TD, do you kick an xp or go for 2?

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

This also annoys me because of how many people think Presti can do no wrong.

OKC signs him its, "Presti is a genius and got an untapped potential 3 & D wing for 6 mill a year"

The Nuggets match and this is what you're seeing. Cringe

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

Nobody "tricked" the Nuggets, lmao. They wanted him, he's a 6'9" wing who can guard all five positions and he shot 40% from three in the regular season and 70% in the playoffs.

They saw what Denver saw in him too.

[Polymarket Hoops @PolymarketHoops]

Sam Presti just tricked the Nuggets into being the only team in the 2nd apron by Denver deciding to match their offer sheet…

They can now sign and trade Peyton Watson WITHOUT receiving any salary and to a team that can absorb his entire salary without sending players.

What a demon.

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

Ummm. Jokic being an All-NBA defender would make him the greatest player of all time.

[WavyTalkHoops @wavytalkhoops]

Who would be the better player?

[NBA @NBA]

#35 overall pick Trevon Brazile had himself a GAME vs. Oklahoma City!

⚒️ 32 PTS (19 in 1H, game-high)
⚒️ 6-12 3PM
⚒️ 11-19 FGM
⚒️ DEN W

@trevonbrazile2 and the @nuggets improve to 2-1 at NBA Summer League!

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

All-NBA name team. But honestly, I love his stats for Monaco. Should absolutely be on the opening night rotation.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

EuroLeague Defender of the Year Alpha Diallo has agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million deal to sign with the Denver Nuggets, agents Jared Mucha and Javon Phillips of Excel Sports Management tell ESPN. The former Providence standout and Euro star makes the NBA jump at 29 years old on a guaranteed deal for the West contenders.

The Army Navy game is actually one of the most boring games of the year.

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

Now do World Cup games.

[Dan Why-Ner @ReallyDanWeiner]

Christian Pulisic played 100 games for Milan over the past 3 seasons.

Carli Lloyd played 131 club games from 2009-2021

Breaking: The No. 1 player in the @SCNext Class of 2027, Marcus Spears Jr., is reclassifying to the Class of 2026.

Spears Jr. is also committing to the University of Texas, he told @PaulBiancardi.

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

You know it's a tough career when you're the first of its kind. Getting demoted from the Detroit Pistons to George Madon University. Never seen that before.

[Transfer Portal @TransferPortal]

BREAKING: Baylor transfer center James Nnaji has committed to George Mason, @DraftExpress reports.

Nnaji was drafted No. 31 overall by the Detroit Pistons in the 2023 NBA Draft.

BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

Steph, JB, Kawhi, Wemby, Jokic

[Hoops @Hoopss]

Let’s see who knows hoops. You get $15.

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

Hopefully, this is why Jokic isn't signing the extension yet. Make the team do something. Running it back with the same roster isn't enough. He knows it, we all know it.

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

The Nuggets have discussed potentially pursuing Jaylen Brown, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer

“Sources say that the Nuggets have at least internally discussed whether they have the asset wherewithal to join the trade chase for Boston's Jaylen Brown, but the Nuggets have yet to emerge as a bonafide landing spot for the Celtics' MVP candidate.”

🚨🚨🚨

ESPN sources: The Eagles are trading Pro-Bowl WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick that is the better of New England’s two fifths. The deal that has been speculated on for weeks now finally is happening. Brown and Patriots HC Mike Vrabel are reuniting.

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

It can be. Many teams execute it poorly OFTEN. If a team rushes it and takes a shot with 29 seconds left, for example. They're then rushing two shots instead of one good one. I feel like teams just having the last shot, kinda weird.

[Kyle Hamilton @kyledhamilton_]

The “2 for 1” is the worst strategy in hoops

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

Great play from Tech. But it's also easy to offer this when you know you won't lose a game after this point, lmao.

[Don Williams @AJ_DonWilliams]

Joey McGuire says Texas Tech is offering to play Texas on Sept. 5 this season. Regarding their season openers, McGuire says Tech would buy out ACU, Texas has the money to buy out Texas State game.

[Luke Loftus @LukeLoftus_0]

Lol
