A raccoon is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
That wouldn't be a great outcome but it would sure as hell be better than the more likely scenario of phil trading porzingis and wavering melo. Atleast rose flying around checking out playoff teams is a positive sign that he won't accept phil's offer to resign

Brilliant reverse psychology by phil, push away your player to do what you wanted him to do by saying the opposite

If I'm Dallas, I would call to offer the pick and Seth Curry for him. It shouldn't work but the Knicks do a lot of things they shouldn't.

I guess folks mostly covered this, but I think at any given moment there's a decent chance he has to be laying in bed completely silent and still with all the lights out, in tremendous pain wishing he was frozen and stuck in the ground instead. It's not a positive for the team I don't think. It's not gonna be like he's working from home.

There's what you can call the Ish Smith Corrollary, where eventually you stop reaching for stars or starters at pg and you just find a guy who knows how to pass the ball, has good bball iq, is fast, and doesn't mind deferring to histeammates, and also can make very short midrange shots. That guy will do your team worlds better than a hot dog armed loving waste of space like carter williams. compare the 76ers with ish smith and without last year.

I have hope that MCW has one miracle 35 GmSc game left before he retires.

I like how after Grease came out, they released a super edited version of Saturday Night Fever to get in on the same market. Our local video store (back when videos existed) had a PG version or an R version available. (Our R is roughly equivalent to NC-17)

Unfortunately they've done that with tons of films over the years. Not as common as it once was though.

Perhaps PG believes that him in LA, along with the franchise's history and freeing up some cap space will draw other marquee guys, whilst drawing somebody to willingly choose Indiana is, uh, difficult.

Also unrelated but regardless of what one thinks of Toronto the Lowry/DeRozan dynamic is a fun one. I'd hate to break it up. Might have to though.

I can't wait for the descent of this Warriors team, and for these kind of fans and people to wonder why it all fell apart. I like Kerr, I like some of the players, but the culture that's building around it is so shortsighted, and ignores how much of building a team like the Warriors did is just amazing luck.

I'm a Warriors fan that waited over a quarter century for the team to stop being utterly incompetent. These tech bro hangers-on are an embarrassment, but they can't take away the magic that the last three years have been for the long-suffering fan.

I understand why people get riled by Joe Lacob and he definitely should shut up, but compared to 20 years of the utter incompetence of Chris Cohan, Lacob is a veritable god among owners.

It doesn't even make sense to me to emphasise the Silicon Valley tech nerd connection with the Warriors other than the happenstance of their location. If it was Mike D'Antoni/Moreyball style stats heavy analysis I could understand it, or Hinke-esque ruthlessly results oriented methods of roster construction and philosophy, but all the Warriors did was draft two guys who happened to turn into the best three point shooters in history and then have the coach say "Yes, do more of that".

That's too simple. The Warriors spent 25 years trying to win by outscoring people.

The real change was in the defense, and that started with signing Igoudala and trading for Bogut and bringing in Ron Adams, and later, in refusing to trade Klay Thompson for David Lee.

From CBS Sports:
Green has been messing with him all series long, particularly when Harkless has the ball outside the arc. This goes back to the end of the regular season, where Harkless went into the final game shooting 35.1 percent from downtown. If he finished the season shooting over 35 percent he was due a $500K bonus, so understandably, he didn't shoot any triples in the Blazers' finale.

During Game 3 in Portland on Saturday night, Green brought that up on the court, getting in Harkless' head with his very specific trash talk. Via ESPN:

At one point during Game 2, while he was guarding Harkless along the perimeter, Green baited his opponent to hoist a 3.

"You ain't gonna shoot it. You're still chasing that petty-rear end change," Green yelled to Harkless, sources told ESPN.

In 20 minutes of play in Game 3, Harkless went 0-for-4 from the field and had a plus/minus of minus-7, the lowest ratio among Portland's starters. All four of his shot attempts were from under the basket, and of those four misses, Green was the primary defender on three possessions.

With less than five minutes remaining in the second quarter, on a designed out-of-bounds play, Harkless had Green sealed on his back in the paint and received the ball, took a hard dribble to his left, pump-faked and elevated for a layup -- but Green viciously swatted the shot away.

"Get that weak s--- out of here," Green was heard saying, according to a source who was close to the play.

Green dared Harkless to let it fly from deep, to no avail.

"If you hit this, I might think about contesting the next one," he told Harkless, according to sources.
