Contentious C Posted May 6 Posted May 6 I really don't see how that's going to be a better move than having Ham there, unless LeBron wanted him gone. And if that's the case...then coach the fucking team yourself, buddy. You wouldn't be the first. 1
Brian Fowler Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Rob Pelinka should've tried Juwan again. He's available this time.
RIPPA Posted May 9 Author Posted May 9 Charles Lee - Boston's top assistant - will be Charlotte's next HC Lee will stay with Boston until their season ends
blitzkrieg Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Frank Vogel out as the Suns HC. Love the jokes about him being a great fit for the Lakers.
Stefanie Sparkleface Posted May 9 Posted May 9 The Suns look like a terrible place at this point. Impatient, meddling owner, no real picks to work with, Beal's contract is a mess that they're not going to get out from unless they're very lucky. I don't know why anyone would want to go there unless it's a prove it sort of job. It's really going to be interesting who the Lakers actually pick up (since we jumped the gun a few days ago, Redick hasn't been hired... yet anyway). Pretty much every team with an opening seems to get rumored around Mike Budenholzer as well.

RIPPA Posted May 9 Author Posted May 9 It always tickles me how the NBA and NHL always compete for the “who can fire the most coaches” crown
Brian Fowler Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Fifth again. Lowest possible pick they could get. Detroit continues to almost always have terrible lottery luck. Only once in the forty year history of the lottery have they moved up, and that was one spot when they got Cunningham.
hammerva Posted May 12 Posted May 12 (edited) Atlanta with a 3% chance of winning really doesn't help debunking the "NBA is rigged" theories. Although just their luck that it doesn't seem to be a strong draft Edited May 12 by hammerva

Although just their luck that it doesn't seem to be a strong draft Yeah this one is obviously less heart breaking than last year (which only got worse as Wemby kept dominating even on a terrible team all season) but it's just kind of numbing that Detroit has gone 31-133 the last two years and gotten a pair of #5 overall picks. Hell, they are 54-192 the last three years and are picking fifth for third straight season.
jaedmc Posted May 13 Posted May 13 They were #1 in 2021. So in four years they will have picked 1, 5, 5, 5. And a 7 before that. If you're picking that high over 5 years, and are still bad, getting another #1 ain't gonna save you.
RIPPA Posted May 13 Author Posted May 13 Reportedly - for the 2nd straight year, the Wizards were one number off getting the #1 pick
Tabe Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Apparently, Bronny James was in a Rick Moranis movie after the season as he measured three inches shorter at the NBA combine versus his height at USC. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/bronny-james-measures-3-inches-shorter-at-combine-than-usc/vi-BB1mr1ZY?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=999472f5805c403899d75f18ea99eb58&ei=77
Log Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Bonking his head on that sign after warmups that time must’ve knocked a couple inches off. 1
jaedmc Posted May 20 Posted May 20 Over the weekend I googled NBA Draft, and clicked on the News tab, there were a ton of articles about how Bronny doesn't look like an NBA prospect, and how scouts aren't really feeling him. ... and then one ESPN article that says "How Bronny James Improved his Draft Stock at the Combine." 1

hammerva Posted May 28 Posted May 28 It seems like ironically sad that Bill Walton passed away the day after the PAC-12 was pretty much clinically dead LeBatard show made a great point that Bill Walton never showed the amount of pain that he had to obviously feel given that he had over 30 surgeries in his life. I know when I watched the 30 for 30 on him I was kind of shocked that Bill was thinking of committing suicide at one point in his life. Bill never looked like a guy who would be at that point.
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Yeah when my toenails were ingrown and I'd stub my toe the pain made me see 500 shades of red. Trying to walk around on ankles and foot bones ground to powder is a whole different level 1

Trying to walk around on ankles and foot bones ground to powder is a whole different level Not to mention he broke three vertebrae in his back his senior year at UCLA, barely missed any time, and didn't have them surgically repaired until 2009. Which really tells you how bad the foot injury must've been that he played through a broken back but that sidelined him for over a full season and off and on almost his entire career. 1
Johnny Sorrow Posted May 29 Posted May 29 To no one's surprise, I saw Bill at a lot of Dead shows over the years. I never ran into him but he was obviously easy to spot in the crowd.
hammerva Posted June 3 Posted June 3 (edited) If you are tired of the talk about how Caitlin Cark is treated in the WNBA this first couple month, the thing with Chennedy Carter of Chicago didn't help things. This weekend Carter delivered a pretty hard borderline dirty foul on Clark during a game. Complete with a "BITCH" before the shot that knocked her down. All while her teammate Angel Reese seemed to enjoy every second of it. While all of this talk about how the WNBA is jealous of Clark which is pretty much bullshit, it does bring up a question that Matt Barnes brought up about why her own players are basically not doing shit. Caitlin is taking a beating and except for player helping her up, I haven't seen one Fever player stand up for her by throwing down for her. Edited June 3 by hammerva
