Take Cousins. I hate the Kings, I would love for King fans to get their panties in a bunch about it.

Yumcha

First it was Dwight and now, Cousins...why can't talented Centers not be dorkos...?!?




Darn talented though.

Doom878

Prima donnas guys.

What NBA player really isn't...? More the rule than the exception...sigh.

Next to WRs in the NFL...I think NBA players are pretty much up there for idiot-antics.

Doom878

Sure they all are but centers seem to be "special". Shaq . I guess because you're the biggest and in most cases the strongest you feel the ball should always go through you.

Speaking of centers look at Giannis dunk on him nasty.

Anyone see this coming?? I sure in the hell didn't, but I haven't been following basketball like I used to. wonder who decided this.

Report: Cavs fire coach Blatt | NBA.com


Article should actually say LeBron fire coach Blatt.

ScoobyTL

Nope didn't see that one coming. It was one game....but I guess behind closed doors, a lot of people were saying how he needed to be gone. 30-11 record... looks pretty good to me

I edited my post....

LeBron wanted him gone........ Then all of a sudden, he is gone.

Steve Kerr comes back tonight.


Supposedly, Lue was just supposed to be interim coach.... Yea, sure.... He's been hired as the head coach, 20 minutes after Blatt was fired by LeBron.

Yumcha

So, LeBron wanted a new LeCoach?

Flipster23

LeBron is pretty much the coach. He's a coach/basketball player... But shit for 1 million a year they can make me the coach and I'll just have lebron run the shots. Yup, just call me coach stfu and let Lebron do his thang.

Yumcha

Pretty much. First, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth options are all LeBron.

Doom878

Yahoo and ESPN have had some great insight on this that a lot of sports media agree with. I'd link the articles but sports are blocked at work. Bottom line Lebron hasn't wanted Blatt there since day 1 but he was already hired when Cleveland signed him as GM/player. He wanted Lue (who interviewed and was hired as an asst), Gentry, or Mark Jackson. Though Bron was instrumental with Blatt's eventual firing, it's not like Blatt didn't have chinks in the armor. Personally I think they should've finished the year with him but from what I've read Blatt lost the locker room and Lue was calling out plays with Blatt repeating him. Blatt was a hardass in Israel and was bending over backwards for his stars. Even Geffen, the "GM", was criticizing players in film study (he is very hands on) where Blatt should've been. After the change, the Bulls promptly smashed the Cavs on a Saturday night national game.

Gentry would've been a horrible move. Look at new Orleans and he's supposed to be better than monty Williams? He needs to get fired like byron scott

Yumcha

Well, the LeCavs looked messed up against the UnpredictaBULLs the other day...speaking of messed up, the Bulls are in that camp too.

ScoobyTL

Spurs vs Warriors today. Duncan sitting out on one of the biggest games of the season. I believe Spurs will win snap warriors home streak.

Doom878

2 exciting games that I'll miss in Heat/Bulls and Spurs/Warrios They should've scheduled that Spurs/Warriors game earlier for east coast and ratings. Sort of like a response to the NFL championship round.

ScoobyTL

It's actually kind of weird, it will be played on NBATV so not everyone will have access to it. I would have thought this would be on ESPN or TNT or something.

I guess this isn't going to be like a playoff game to the Spurs since Duncan is sitting and would have played it the season was on the line.

Doom878

Jesus and on NBATV which is extra tier on most providers. C'mon NBA

Good God did anyone watch the Slam Dunk contest!?!?!?!?

Aaron Gordon shouldve won the contest, but I'm happy that the dunk contest is finally lived up to the hype. Actually the whole saturday was pretty good with each contest.

Doom878

Yes the 3 point contest was also entertaining from what I heard. I never got into the Skills Challenge. The All Star Game is dreadful though.

Trade Deadline. Markief to the Wiz. Goodbye Birdman from the Heat

Frye to the Cavs.....


Trades were kind of lame this year. No real big moves.

Yumcha

Yeah, a bit surprised the Bulls are sticking to this core...their window has passed.

Doom878

It's not over yet with all the buyouts that are happening soon.

Doom878

Yeah I read that the Warriors' losses tend to be against bad teams and with a large margin. It's a long season.

Joneill44

Is it wrong that I dont want them to brake the record

Doom878

Only because you liked the Bulls. Fuck them too

Joneill44

It would only make sense on a car forum to spell "break" with brake

Doom878

Yumcha

@ Bulls. Can they tear up the team and can GarPax admit they were morons for thinking the Bulls could be successful with Thibs?

Doom878

I thought Butler was out for the year but I guess not. Why do you guys suck so bad?

Doom878

Ok this Nick Young/D'Angelo Russell story is pretty crazy. Loving the Mean Girls memes at lunch

And the Kyrie Irving/Party Next Door love triangle. What's going on with the NBA and social media gone wrong

Yumcha

Russell's been ostracized from the team almost? Yow!

So you're saying the Mavs have a chance?

Doom878

Can't believe the Warriors lost to the Wolves the other night. They were scoring at ease on them in the first quarter. Late game so I stopped watching soon after. Don't think they beat the Bulls 72 wins.

Draymond said they got bored.

He does a lot. I like the feud with him and Whiteside.
