We live in a society that perpetuates a myth that the missing African American dad is a problem afflicting our youths when really African American fathers who live outside the household are more involved in their children's lives than whites daddies. By not challenging stereotypical thinking and perpetuating the myth even further, George Karl is being racist.

I'm still praying for Lebron's recovery. I'm rooting for my team, but it's not worth a man's life!


So the Hawks are 9-1 over their last ten games? The Schröder rollercoaster.

Edit:

Also, Dunleavy Jr. got visibly upset when Delaney didn't pass the ball in one instance. That was cool. I hope he retires.

The hawks beat reporter on a podcast seems to think the run coincided with Millsap and Dwight figuring out how to play together on D.

Who know, I don't watch the hawks.

I've watched a few hawks games. Dwight is looking better, but the Schroder roller coaster is definitely a factor. I tihnk Millsap has been pretty solid all season and doing what he's been doing for the last 6 years.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
Nice of SI to write a little something for Gar Foreman and John Paxson to read together while holding back tears.

http://www.si.com/nba/2017/01/17/harrison-barnes-ames-iowa-mavericks-fred-hoiberg-doug-mcdermott

quote:

One of the nation’s top prospects, after all, doesn’t belong in the eighth-largest town in Iowa. The state itself had produced but a modest handful of NBA players with any staying power. Yet Barnes was the subject of a cosmic coincidence—not only in that he would buck incredible odds to make it all the way from Ames to the NBA lottery, but that he turned out to be one of two players to do so in the same high school class. As Barnes threatened to tear down the rim, a scrawny, 5'9" kid named Doug McDermott tried to find his place below it. Each proved to be an anomaly. Together, they represented an astonishing twist of chance and fate.

quote:

Little has changed in Ames, even as everything changed for Barnes. A young Harrison attended basketball camps run by Fred Hoiberg, himself an Ames legend and accidental local politician. “That was the big thing, man,” Barnes said. “Those were the cream of the crop for Iowa kids who would never get a chance to get close to the NBA.” Now Barnes runs his own camp – playing in games, answering questions, and making himself accessible to eager kids who live their NBA dreams vicariously. “That makes their year,” Downs said. Perhaps Barnes has unknowingly crossed paths with the next Iowan anomaly.

Silver should just take Butler, Dame, Boogie and AD and put them on a barnstorming team.

None of those teams are ever going to do anything, might as well help them tank and give us what we want to see.

I sort of like the games where my greatest worry is whether I'll get to see Bruno. Although I despise the fact that every time they crush the Nets it means Boston is closer to getting a top pick.

How many wins would they get in a season if they were all healthy, but everyone else on the team had to be a current d-league contract player?

quote:

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek wanted to shake things up with his starting lineup, so he benched his $48 million man Courtney Lee in favor of rookie Ron Baker.

New York went on to lose to Atlanta, 108-107, with Lee sitting the second half. He later posted and deleted two pictures from the movie Dumb & Dumber on his Instagram account, which, if you take him at his word, only had to do with his mood and not a shot at the lineups.

No one is sure why Hornacek benched Lee, but it didn’t work. Neither is this Knicks team. New York has lost 14 of its last 18 games and is six games below .500 at the midseason mark.

Yep, he's the problem. Courtney Lee. The dude leading your team in 3-point %. Better bench him.

Assuming no Ego. A ton.

Because these dudes are all on teams with lovely players anyway. Just look for the most scrappiest of Guard and wing defenders along with some 3 pt shooters with no other skills. and roll the dice.

A competent coach could dole out minutes so you have two of them on the floor at all time
