This is also a bad response when people pretend KG was better than Dirk.

If Doc coaches the lakers... I don't know. I might need to take a break from basketball.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

CBA no longer allows it.

I am somewhat split on all of this because I don't love the adjustments the Lakers make and some of the rotations are head scratching. But in the end like Ham isn't going to make open jumpers.

hire magic as a figurehead coach who can just zoom in for post-game press conferences.

"coach magic, how do you explain the defensive breakdowns out there?"

"good question. Karl-Anthony Towns had 31 points and 14 rebounds, so we were not playing good defense on him. But watch out for Rudy Gobert! He had 10 points, which really added up to a tough loss at 109-97."

Remember when the Knicks were gonna try and let Phil Jackson only coach home games or something? This is INNOVATION

More like addition by subtraction. Less Harden and more Maxey!

Doc looks like he's perpetually confused by what he's seeing, like at any moment he's gonna pull an assistant coach aside and ask him what all these plays are that 76ers running are all about.

The Doc -> Nurse transition is a funny concept that I feel like was underappreciated for its semiotic appeal.

Doc lead Philly to 3rd in the East on a 65% win rate. Now Nick Nurse is leading philly to.... 3rd in the East on a 70% win rate....

I guess its a positive with Harden gone, but roster continuity helps too. But generally seems like mostly the same team. Obv Philly got booted from the playoffs by a really good Boston team in the 2nd round. If they playoffs started today I'd expect.... they'd get beat by a really good celtics team in the 2nd round. But who knows!

The Warriors can't play any better than that. 54% from the field, 40% from 3, 6 players in double figures, Curry with 30, Klay with 20+ on 50%FG, only 10 turnovers. And they lost.

Kerr decided to bench Kuminga and run 3 guard lineups so hats off to him

Giannis gave him the full shoulder+elbow treatment and still got the ball shoved down his throat.
