Laughter is easier.

That was pretty fucking funny...lol

Did you miss my Cavs as the 8th seed prediction?

I didn't.

And I wont rip ya as I was among the many who thought Atlanta would make the playoffs...think I had them at 6.

 

[Mecca]

Morant is going to have a better career than Zion.....just a hunch on my part.

Who would you rather?

SGA or Morant?

Hard, HARD choice.

Love them both. But, I'd take SGA.

Partly because he was our guy.

But, mostly because his style of play puts him at less risk for injury.

Ja goes at Dude's like he's Blake Griffin...lol

FEROCIOUS little Dude.

 

[Mecca]

I didn't.

And I wont rip ya as I was among the many who thought Atlanta would make the playoffs...think I had them at 6.

I had Atlanta in too.

My most egrigous pick was Dubs to the WCF.

I deserve a pass because that was in the make outrageous takes thread.

At least I hope it was....lol

Lue still sour on Cavs firing: 'I won a title there'

Yeah because a 0-6 start to the season was only going to be a slight hiccup

Did not care he was let go as I doubt he had the stomach or health to go through a complete rebuild.

But letting a guy go who won a title after a couple weeks? If he wanted to stick it out, I could see being sour. Should Kerr be fired? He's had 2+ months.

 

[dtgold88]

It should be. When you make 3 straight finals then you should be allowed a bad start or bad season.

Should the Warriors fire Kerr?

beat me to it.

 

[dtgold88]

Lue was 0-6 with a healthy, set team. There was no way it was going to get any better. The only reason the Cavs even made those finals was because of Lebron and Kyrie and neither was left on the team.

Kerr still has Curry and Klay. They're just injured.

Two completely different scenarios

Cavs were expected to rebuild. If Cavs just don't think Lue is the right coach for a rebuild, OK, but starting 0-6 isn't the reason to fire him.

 

[dtgold88]

So you're saying Lue is a good coach and should not have been fired?

How come he's not a head coach now then? Or even has teams mentioning his name?

You get your team would have hired him if he would have signed a shorter deal, right?

 

[Mecca]

Any word on what started the fire?

Started on the balcony of the apartment below hers.

Residents had been complaining because it looked like a fucking junkyard.

Appliances, sofa's all kinds of shit.

The complex did nothing.

They are still investigating to see if the people were trying to heat their unit with a barbecue pit.

Crazy people still do that shit. Had they never heard of Carbon monoxide?

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

beat me to it.

I already answered that

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

You get your team would have hired him if he would have signed a shorter deal, right?

1. He wouldn’t even be considered if Lebron wasn’t on the team

2. He wasn’t hired

 

[dtgold88]

Burning to death? I can't imagine that....horrible way to go.

That or buried alive have to be the worst ways I can think of.

 

[dtgold88]

1. He wouldn’t even be considered if Lebron wasn’t on the team

2. He wasn’t hired

1. But he was because he is
2. Because he wouldn't accept Laker terms.

 

[Mecca]

1. He wouldn’t even be considered if Lebron wasn’t on the team

2. He wasn’t hired

My take?

You are correct.

We don't know if he's a good coach or not.

But, he deserved the chance to settle the debate, one way or the other.

Someone mentioned Kerr yesterday.

Pretty similar situations.

Plus, I remember people used to say the same about Phil Jackson.

I always thought he was a much better psychologist, over being a great X and O"s guy.

But, no way to prove that with Phil, nor Lue because they always had multiple stars.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

1. But he was because he is
2. Because he wouldn't accept Laker terms.

Lol, so your argument is that Lue is a good coach and the Lakers were in the wrong to set terms before hiring an employee?

 

[Mecca]

1. He wouldn’t even be considered if Lebron wasn’t on the team

2. He wasn’t hired

Stars usually get input on the coach.

Well, if you want them to be happy.

Who would you rather?

SGA or Morant?

Hard, HARD choice.

Love them both. But, I'd take SGA.

FEROCIOUS little Dude.

Morant just barely.

 

[dtgold88]

Lol, so your argument is that Lue is a good coach and the Lakers were in the wrong to set terms before hiring an employee?

nope. You said this - "How come he's not a head coach now then? Or even has teams mentioning his name?"

I replied your team did mention his name and would have hired him if he accepted their parameters.

 

[DJ]

It's 3 degrees but the sun is out.....LOL.

 

[Mecca]

Lol, so your argument is that Lue is a good coach and the Lakers were in the wrong to set terms before hiring an employee?

Eh...

I actually think not hiring him was good for the LAKERS.

Wasn't the fear always that you would turn into the Los Angeles Cavaliers?

Klutch has already infested your Organization. For now, that's a great thing.

But, you still would want some Organizational control.

Imo..... Lebron's influence is one of the main reasons you didn't get Kawhi.

Why the fuck would he want to play caddy to a guy he thinks he's better than, when that guy can snap his fingers and get you traded?

Promoting Rob Lowe * coughs * Pelinka, hiring the Coaches they wanted, is a great sign that the the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the one on the back.

Sounds like Adak Alaska...lol
