Brian Fowler Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 We don't have an off-season thread yet I don't think, but looks like Vogel is unsurprisingly out as Lakers coach.

Looks like you just did. Anywho, Joel Embiid won the scoring title yesterday. He's the first international player to ever win it and the first center to win since Shaq in 2000. The int'l player thing is weird to me, since I could've sworn Petrovic won one back in the early 90s, but apparently not.

"I haven't been told shit" - Frank Vogel, about his own job. You would think they could at least pretend to give a shit about a coach that helped lead them to a title.
Zimbra Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 Alvin Gentry is out in Sacramento, per the usual suspects

A bad roster and then his two best players missing a combined 70ish games. Who the fuck would've won in this situation?
RIPPA Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 On the flip side - the T-Wolves have given Chris Finch a multiyear extension
Lawful Metal Posted April 11, 2022 Posted April 11, 2022 Jalen Green better win Rookie of the Year with all the recency bias NBA media suffers from. Hell of a last two months. 5 games straight with 30, caps it with a 40 burger in the last game. Future is bright. Too bad the Lakers are winning the lottery.

Depending on where it lands, it's either going to Memphis or Pelicans iirc. Mobley, Barnes, and Cunningham are the three guys who appear to have a legit shot at ROY. Cade finished the year playing the best basketball over the second half of the season after a real slow start, the other two both had big impacts on improving their teams. My vote would probably be Mobley

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 Bill Simmons said some stupid shit about Jalen Green. He got ratio'ed. He then "what I meant to say. . ."'ed This is why he'll never be more than BSG. 1
Lawful Metal Posted April 17, 2022 Posted April 17, 2022 Jalen Green gon be better than Harden ever was
Zimbra Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 Rec league-ass uniforms. Charlotte has fired James Borrego, unsurprisingly.
Kuetsar Posted April 22, 2022 Posted April 22, 2022 As a jazz fan, fuck that. Go back the 80s colors. I dont watch that much basketball, but they are my hometown team. They kicked ass earlier in the season, then got hurt. Any else else I bow to others knowledge. Their radio guy bugs the hell out of me though. . (We get the games one of the rock stations up here, and I'll listen when I'm out ot whatever) 1
Jiji Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Those are the shits. All falling apart for the Jazz right now.
Brian Fowler Posted April 23, 2022 Author Posted April 23, 2022 This has nothing to do with current NBA stuff, I'm just throwing it here for lack of a better place. You guys remember when Dennis Rodman joined the Shaq/Kobe Lakers pre-Phil? A complete trainwreck, ruined the team's chemistry, didn't show up for practice, etc etc. Was sent home after 23 games, released a couple weeks later, and nobody was sad to see him go. During that stretch he played 28.6 minutes a night, and averaged 11.2 rebounds. Without Dennis, the Lakers went 14-13, and then got swept in the second round by the Spurs. The disastrous 23 games when he "ruined" the team? They were 17-6. 3
hammerva Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 So apparently a number of teams are interested in Mark Jackson. If it means getting him off commentary then please by all means. Make Van Gundy an assistant and give us a complete holiday 1
Jiji Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 It's wild how great TNT's presentation is compared to ESPN. Harlan is the best going. 1

He was the guy who couldn't get above average offensive production out of Curry and Klay. 1

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 I'd become a Rockets fan today if they get banned from Twitter for stuff like this:
RIPPA Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Mike D'Antoni is apparently Charlotte's top choice for HC
