Offensively, he would be a great fit on the Rockets.

Last time I checked though, their problem isn't on offense.

Oh man. No Kawhi Leonard vs the Sixers tonight.

We are so screwed!

/sarcasm

(but seriously if we lose I'm gonna rage like no other)

Morris needs a change. Last game was a DNP-CD. They will probably move him for 75 cents on the dollar.

I think Popovich is sitting Kawahi, Timmy, Manu, and David West tonight.

Matt Bonner and Kyle Anderson are your starting frontcourt for the paying home team.

I like giving players rest....but that seems a bit much.

The 76ers are still an NBA team. I would rather not tempt fate and play the "C-" team.

This clown is possibly the worst coach the NBA has ever seen. And I'm being nice by saying possibly.

65-29 Spurs at the half. You still think this?

Spurs could play their F team against Philly.

96-52.

After the 3rd Quarter.

Without Kawhi, Timmy, and Manu. I knew the Sixers were bad, but...oofa.

I watched the end of Clippers-TWolves. With all of the strategic fouling, the last 30 seconds of game time took 2 hours. LOL.

Biggest flaw in the sport IMO, not sure how to fix it.

if you've seen one of his exit interviews after a Lakers loss, you've seen ALL of 'em...

i'm ready to admit punchline was right...

Not sure either. Maybe give three free throws for any foul that is not a play on the ball.

Easiest way to fix the freethrow situation would be to give the person fouled off the ball 1 freethrow shot and the team retains possession. The most difficult part of this would be determining intent.

Lets say you have DeAndre Jordan in a P&R and he's part of the play and you foul him. By rule that should be 2 free throw shots. It's clear cut when they try to simply go up and foul the guy, but in the course of the game, it would be totally up to the ref's discretion.

Most of the time, they make it pretty obvious and foul before the team gets all the way up the floor.

I don't think anything needs to be done about the free throw thing. It's a legitimate, end of game strategy. The best way to curb it, is for guys to hit their free throws.

Actually, the reason the last 30 seconds of last night's Clips-Twolves game took so long is because guys kept making their free throws. Twolves were down by 3, so Clips kept fouling them so that they couldn't tie the game with a 3. Twolves kept making their 2 free throws and kept fouling the Clips, who kept making their free throws.

They were fouling each other every second of game time left. LOL. It only broke down because Karl-Anthony Towns forgot (or didn't know) that fouling a player away from the ball inside 2 minutes meant that the Clips would get a FT and retain possession.
