Do you think it would take more than a few words to explain why he was benched.

They paid him $14 million this offseason and built their marketing around him coming to the team this year. A 5-minute "here is why we have moved you from starting PG to the last guy off the bench" seems like the respectful thing to do.

Remember they fired Thibodeau because he didn't communicate well and hired Fred because as Gar said he is a "great communicator".

Did I post that since cutting his hair/getting braids, ,Iman Shumpert is shooting 41% from three. He realized his 2012 haircut was going to kill his next contract and did the right thing. Now it's time for Marcus Smart, Thick Stan, and No Just is no peace to get to the barber. Nerlens Noel can join the lineup.

2017 will be called the great shorning and percentages will rise

I was looking up Prigioni's old team Baskonia because he said a bunch of glowing stuff about them in his retirement speech

It currently features former NBAers Andrea Bargnani, Rodrigue Beaubois, Chase Budinger, Shane Larkin and Tornike Shengalia. (The Three Net Superteam)

According to this roster Shane and Chase both start, Shengalia and Beaubois are bunch players, but Bargnani is the third string center hahhh

I would willing watch a ten hour supercut of Lebron's best passes

If you cut together all his assists and only gave them 4.5 seconds a piece you'd have over 8 hours and 45 minutes of film :wth: add in the hockey assists and missed shots off great passes and you'll get an extended edition well beyond 10 hours I bet

I hope Shane Larkin fired his agent after convincing him to opt out of his deal this year for a big pay day.

I'd really love to witness the conference calls and meetings that lead to signing Rondo. It would be like a Coen Brothers movie


Do you think marginal NBA teams spent wildly this offseason because they realized they'd have like 9m in luxury tax subsidies

The Answer is Rondo.

Rondo isn't a problem. Rondo is the symptom of the problem. If Rondo destroy's the actual problem then all is well.

but nope it's another guy and apparently the Hawks have a GM?

The Celtics were missing their leading rebounder (no joke) and best defender in Avery Bradley, who happens to be a shooting guard. It's pretty much how I thought it would go but it was a fun game
