17x NBA Champions

Even with something similar to last year.

The Lebron era has been a mixed bag with some serious downs apart from the title and last year’s ECF run

I’m not convinced we’d have a real shot at a title with anything that seems available, so why give up assets? Chances are anyone good will come with an added tax of taking on a bad contract.

Bron’s contract is up this year and he’s not a lock to return.

I think it’s probably best to see if everyone can get healthy and let the chips fall where they fall.

-Sig-

“Why didn’t you do this in your own god damn country?"

-All Stah's view on undocumented immigrants wanting to be treated like human beings.

It was a hot run with some very good luck along the way. Now seems like the front office is going to use the “we did it last year” excuse and it’ll just be a slow plod to fizzling out before the play in. With Bron and AD being so good and healthy this year and this is what we’ve got? They’re cooked.

..its mostly because its always all or nothing with the Lakers.

That said, this year is really no different.

'Bron & AD are finally playing together consistently, relatively healthy. Aside from Reaves (and possibly Hachimura), the entire roster is available.

None of this is surprising.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I was worried this was going to be related to Epstein instead of Weinstein.

Seeing how Dolan is pretty much made of money, I wonder how much he'll use to defend himself to fully fight the case instead of looking to settle to keep things under wraps. I have to imagine he can afford more high powered attorney's compared to the person accusing him, which is of course unfortunate, but money can sway justice in this country's legal system.

That TMZ website is wild with all the slideshows of folks affiliated with Weinstein; that photo of Oprah kissing Weinstein on the cheek was a brutal one; Harpo catching strays because of Dolan being an alleged idiot.

*edit*

And based on a brief web search, this isn't the first time Dolan's been tried in a civil court for crimes involving sexually inappropriate matters. I had to look up the Anucha Browne Sanders case just to make sure Dolan was included in that law suit as well and it appears he was.

I agree with you that he absolutely settle this case rather than take it to trial. Him and Weinstein could get shamed heavily if the case proceeds and full details of what Weinstein allegedly did come to light; even worse if the woman has conclusive proof that Dolan knew and/or that she told Dolan and he did nothing to stop matters.

At the same time, Dolan isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so who knows what he'll do.

but how the hell has patbev managed to play 10+ years in this league without developing a semi-decent looking midrange shot? that half-hookshot/half-floater thing he throws up? oof.. it's obvs nothing but 3s at practice for these guys today

(also embiid's voice kinda sounds like he's trying to do a paul giamatti imitation..)

and not understanding what he does for a team and why he has been in the league so long.

There are other elements in basketball besides scoring and while most fans focus on that and a lot of players focus on that Pat Bev focuses on and excels at the other things.

Guys like Alex Caruso do the same things and get proclaimed a star and get awarded big multi year contracts lol

Pairs flawlessly with Turner in the front court, awesome pair in actions with Halliburton, and should normally have two floor spacers on the floor in the other two spots. Siakam will really help the Pacers defense too.

I think the Pacers are a real threat to get home court first round in the East.

he's been absolutely terrible on the wiz.
same boneheaded mistakes..that's not surprising at all...but

he can't even put up garbage points
from the eye test...he looks like he lost his swag..his confidence

did draymond's punch....break his spirit?

Streaky ass volume shooter that can get hot occasionally like a lot of NBA players. Wizards feel for it, paid him and he doesn’t care.

Fuck a sig, my presence is enough.

Even in the championship run he was liable to do some headass shit as much as he was doing some incredible shit. He was just like the 5th option so it didn’t matter

during the pre-season.

Make of that what you will, but I'm pretty certain Draymond let his knuckles fly well before that performance.

"Sean sparks like John Starks, nah, Sean ball like John Wall" - Rest In Power Forever Sean Price.

Because he's always been a terrible defender, his value waxes and wanes with his efficiency. When at Golden State? He got on some heaters during the 2022 season. Easily best shooting splits of his career. The next season, they asked him to do more. His efficiency dipped, his turnovers went up. Was pretty clear that he was getting paid 2nd or 3rd starter money when he... wasn't that.

And now they're asking him to be a top two scoring option on a team with *no* defensive structure in place. It was always going to be a disaster.

Now, he's still young. Maybe he can improve... but he's earning a lot of money the next 3.5 seasons for maybe.

turning your nose up at 30-13 is crazy especially when they traded their best defender.

sometimes you just make a bad call and realize you should pull the plug sooner rather than later

<--- Big Baller World Order

And it sure did. Most fans I've heard were talking about how Griffin was drawing up the defense, but I believe he was going according to the backcourt personnel they had. Dame's lack of on ball defense requires the Bucks to play defense differently but most want them to play it like they did last year. But anyway, we'll see who they get. I don't think it changes anything.

For them to just essentially light probably around $12 million on fire, in his first year, on the team that's tied for 2nd best record in the league, etc.

17 games over .500, too. Very similar to David Blatt, who was fired when the team was 30-11 and coming off a Finals berth.

Doc Rivers fan, but am I the only one that found it a bit odd that Adrian Griffin's body didn't even get cold before Doc got this gig? All while dude had a job with ESPN?

The TNT broadcast crew was literally doing highlights for games that ended on the East Coast and Doc got hired within that time.

To add another wrinkle to it, Rivers had been acting as Griffin's "consultant," at the request of the Bucks. helping him out and giving him advice for handling life as a first-time head coach and expectations while helming what's considering a championship front-runner. So I can understand how it went down that way.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

He really didn't reach the players or show much ability in his tenure.

Supposedly they want to look for a coach that's good with player development in the off season.

not a single 6er starter saw the floor in the 4th even when the game was at 13 with 5 mins left. Dude deserves to be fined and Joel should be disqualified from MVP consideration for not checking himself into the game, FOH quitting as MF'er.
