I think you could get an NWA cd if they negotiate well. Why settle for Cube when you can get NWA?


whoa, Whoa, WHOA…

That would be a Danny Ainge level coup.

MC Ren or DJ Yella is really the best they could hope for….lol

Too difficult to pull off. Would you settle for Vanilla Ice and this fella instead?

That's the problem with firing him now. We don't really know.

We know he took an overhauled, but healthy roster to the WCF, but as you say, was it in spite of him? I know I don't remember anyone calling for his head last year.

On the other hand, is he the reason they're struggling or is it the injuries that have guys in and out of the lineup?

He probably shouldn't have been the one to say it...but he is correct when he says it's difficult to have consistency when guys you're counting on are out.

Example...folks have been talking about JHS...but if they're healthy, he isn't getting the minutes he got last night.
Its just the easiest change to make.

Jovan said it is actually being discussed.

He pointed at the upcoming games against the Grizz and Clippers as make or break for Ham.

Are there really that many strippers *coughs * single mothers trying to put themselves thru medical school, out there voting for Sloth?

I’m on Twitter too much. Do you check it out often? You may have seen the same thing I saw when he became a Sixer. All of a sudden there were “Sixers” fans coming out of the woodwork I never recognized before on the app. Came to find out that Harden was one of the most popular guys in the league for those “player fans”. These silly fucks went from Rockets fans to Nets fans to Sixers fans and now presumably Clippers fans with a quickness. Only thing I can think of. The West guards are all fucked up. 1 and 3 are ok but next in line should be 6 and 8. Curry and LeBron are the same deal… All Star game so they prop up All Timers who really aren’t “the best” anymore.

Yeah, it is the easiest change to make, but it's also, or at least can be, just a lazy way to appease fans/media because "at least they did something".

My take on firing coaches is that, unless they've lost the locker room (which may be what's happening) or you are able to replace him with someone better (i.e. when they replaced Del Harris with Phil), you don't fire the coach. Especially when there are other factors like injuries to consider.

Did he or did they get to the WCF despite his shortcomings?

Kinda impossible to say.
And for the millionth time…the West was meh last year. Kings were too inexperienced for playoffs and got exposed. Grizz fell apart after the JA nonsense. Golden State took a step back. Suns had KD and the whole crew together for like 8-9 games before playoffs. The West was a mess last year and the only good team won the West. Kind of shaping up to be the same deal this year but we will see.

From what Shams is saying....it sounds like he has lost the locker room.

Bron not talking to the media and leaving immediately after is most likely a symptom of that.

Tell me you didn’t watch the game…

….or any of the last 3 games…

Without telling me you didn’t watch the game.

Gil said they are shelfing these guys like dnp’s so they can trade them.


FFS….lol


I mean, they may very well be looking at making a trade and may even be working on one as we speak. But unless it's about to happen and the other team asked them to sit them to prevent possible injury, I don't see them sitting guy who could help them win. Especially having gone 3-8 over the last 11.

My guy…..

Devin Booker isn’t even top 10.

But Austin Fucking Reaves is….lol

All I need to know about fan voting.

I will never understand what they see in Harden.

….and yes….

I’m always on Twitter.

It’s a cesspool and I love it.

That's why, if they haven't already, players and their agents need to quit attaching being an all-star to the incentives in a players contract.

I love me some Austin Reaves and he's a really good player...but no way should he be ahead of Booker.

But he's more of a fan favorite than Booker, so he gets more votes, at least for now.

The all-star game is and always has been "the fans game" which is why people need to quit trying to take it seriously.
