I'm watching the Pels/Thunder game from a few days ago and goddamn Buddy is so bad.

He spent four years hero balling and has no clue how to play basketball. He takes so many terrible off balanced shots and just seems to tunnel vision whenever the ball is in his hands. He's not even that athletic either.

I'd say he doesn't care because the Kings are paying him a bunch of money to sit at home and do nothing, but then I remembered his son is still in the fringes of the league coaching a d-league team and probably needed that good will to stick around.

Good thing his son has a father around to help him out

Have the Sixers traded Okafor for pennies on the dollar yet?

I really want them to play around with the different Nerlens/Embiid/Simmons/Saric combinations (not to mention Illyasova/Holmes) and get rid of the player that doesn't fit

Once again George Karl proves he's no Phil Jackson, who wrote managed to continue getting NBA jobs and titles after writing like four books attacking his players.

He just thought that was how you spelled "Kobe", he only ever saw the Bryant on the back
I think it was meant as a tribute from one basketball autist to another

George Karl and Phil "Albion" Jackson are still posse brothers if you get what I mean

Which is why I was with him until he started actively trying to hurt people on the court. If that's how he's going to play I hope he is a King forever.
