Steve Kerr gets ejected.
Mike Brown now in charge.
Warriors down 3 with 2 seconds to go.
Mike Brown draws up a Draymond Green 28' straight on 3.

The Warriors really have a flawed line of succession if it immediately leads to Mike Brown drawing up plays
You'd think Kerr would take the lead from his wine loving role model who also enjoys the occasional coach ejection, we survive fine with Ettore Messina for a lil bit when it's necessary
It's a shame the Spurs lost a bunch of random dumb games too, they're only four games back

After that Tolliver contest I was waiting for Derek Fisher and Mike Dunleavy Jr. to check into the game, just to rub it in. Give me all of the ex-Warriors I hate, all of them!

Mike Brown was Pop's #1 assistant for a while and in fact did draw up a lot of plays for the Spurs.

He's a solid coach if you have a bunch of vets on a team.

Yeah as much as Mike Brown is kind of an elbow in the ribs joke when you talk about his later years as a head coach I really wouldn't mind him as an assistant coach. Like Rick said, if he doesn't have to primarily handle younguns he's fine

Warriors Fans' hate boner for Russel Westbrook confuses me. Isn't it bad enough that you basically removed their franchise chance at contention? Why do you have to poo poo on their remaining superstar too?

It's all because of Metapod. If he'd stayed dead like he promised, we would have been able to love Westbrook.

C'mon man.

Also it's sad that I'm excited whenever a bench player gets to start for the Knicks because it usually means a more interesting viewing experience. Phil assembled the most random squad of euros that Hornacek somehow turned into a bunch of promising players but he also gave Hornacek a bunch of complete dead weight in front of them.

I still can't believe how good that dunk contest was and how great that whole season was in general. Zach Lavine's dunk wasn't quite from behind the free throw line but he had enough air that he could have taken a full step in front of it and still got a good slam. RIP Lavine's ACL

Which is why Rockets fans are talking about how Dekker is off-limits in a trade

If the Magic are serious about moving him it's probably the only major improvement the Rockets could make via trade at the moment. I dunno what the Magic want exactly but I'll pray that somehow it's built around Corey Brewer.

He averaged less than 1 tech per two seasons through his playing career. I don't know if those techs were big blowups though.

Sometimes the simplest answer is the true one, the magic are just run extremely poorly.

The level that Draymond and Durant hate eachother is the most interesting part of the Warriors

The Magic should've had the league install a Coangelo before the Sixers, but the Magic aren't historically important in the same way.

He is the only one who can consistently make a shot.

This team has like two people who can shoot at all and one is loving Ibaka.

Ibaka would be great for them as Capela/Nene insurance, or for better defensive potential at pf. But what do they have to trade for him? They have the blazers second round pick and? I don't even know who they'd send for salary matching, unless it was Anderson, but he's fit in so well that that doesn't seem likely

They've got their picks, Denver/Portland second rounders this year and a couple young prospects. They could send SLAM DEKKER or Montrezl Harrell. Brewer is the easiest salary match, but has guaranteed money next year. Seems unlikely that they would trade any of their starters or Gordon.

Basically it'd probably be contingent on Ibaka refusing to re-sign with the Magic and nobody else coming up with a good trade package.

Capela/Nene/Harrell is an oddly good big man rotation (a lot better than I thought it would be) but they all have various limitations and none of them is close to playing 30mpg. Ibaka, if he's still playing good defense, would take up a lot of those.

Also I haven't heard a peep about this anywhere other than Rockets/Magic boards so it could just be a buncha poo poo anyway.
