A 8pt8rb backup PF with a 15 PER forcing The Cavs to pay him 18 mil a year cause they have to go all in for Bron is hilarious.
By Vahagn Go To PostThe amount of guys, including MJ, who talk about Phil with an insanely high regard are literally too many to count. And while MJ was MJ regardless, let's not forget how much more those great players did with Phil than without him. TD wins chips without Pops too, but probably not 5. Besides which, MJ has always talked about Dean Smith like he was a second father. Something about the impact on the formative years. Phil took over a prime MJ who needed that last 5% mental growth but was already the best player on the planet whereas freshman MJ was just a role player dealing with being second guessed his whole life (the famous varsity story) and ended with him leaving college as one of the top two players in the entire country for a college player.
I do believe coaches make a difference but let's not give em more credit than due.
MJ would have been the same MJ maybe with less rings I don't believe for a second that Phil gave him 5% mental growth... MJ was and still is a hyper- competitive asshole. He hates to lose and that fuels him... Kobe almost has the same DNA but didn't have the varsity team experience to fuel his bitterness.
Again no one said PJ isn't one of the great basketball minds of all time because he is...
but Mike made him not the other way around
RT @KBergCBS: Timberwolves coach/president Flip Saunders has Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is undergoing chemotherapy treatments, team announces.
RT @KBergCBS: Doctors have called Saunders' cancer "very treatable and curable," team says. He will continue uninterrupted as coach and president.
Ugh, terrible. Sounds like his prognosis is good though.

Awful news for T'wolves. Flip saunders diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and getting chemo. Hope all goes well for him
That's shitty! Is it related to that lump behind his ear? I always wondered what that was! Hope he gets a clean bill of health after the treatment

Also, season schedule is out tomorrow.

By giririsss Go To PostWTF are KD and Melo at team USA camp?Idiotic.
man all they got to do just shoot in the gym, and scrimmage a little and it would keep their options open to get into the 2016 olympic village in brazil..... they would be stupid to not show up

I mean if you're gonna have cancer that's one of the "better" ones ...
Hopefully he pulls through.

Wait...you didn't make the reference intentionally? LOL
That's a coincidence. But yeah, Curb is probably one of the all time greatest comedies ever. Larry David has season 9 lined up with a notebook of scenarios he's recently been flaunting about and showing to HBO execs. He has an open-door policy with them. It's possible we may see something late next year.
what's harder to get an elite scorer or an elite defender?
as a guy who has not had a guy who could even get his own shot consistently since Iverson...I'd say the elite scorer.

Found CYE tedious.

Elite scorer. By a long way.

who would people list as elite scorers today?... players who can really get there own shot almost anytime they want..
Westbrook
KD
Harden
Curry

great defenders just need to be embraced by their team and org more than anything else imo
How is giri gonna spin Phoenix this time y'all
Dudes takin more L's than Gino--stanning for Goran and the Morris twins six months ago and now celebrating a plan surrounding pg cast offs and TJ Warren, celebrating Len over Noel like it actually had a chance of paying off

i dont even know what the pick we gave up for Gortat turned into--tyler ennis traded for isaiah thomas traded for brandon knight lmfao no idea
By blackace Go To Postwho would people list as elite scorers today?… players who can really get there own shot almost anytime they want..WestbrookKDHardenCurry
Lebron not on that list? C'mon son.
I would put Irving and healthy Melo there too. If it was about efficiency then YNB wouldn't make the cut. But as just unstoppable scoring forces.
Those 4 plus Bron/Melo/Irving
curry's fun to guard because he hits those shots that you can't even defend so you don't even really get exposed

LaMarcus Aldridge was ‘excited’ to meet with Knicks but canceled due to Kristaps Porzingis commitment
LAS VEGAS - If the Knicks had any hope of signing LaMarcus Aldridge as a free agent – and he said they did after a recruitment from Carmelo Anthony – it was erased by their commitment to Kristaps Porzingis.http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/knicks-porzingis-pf-commitment-scared-lamarcus-aldridge-article-1.2322549
I mean....
So it's more of what's already been said and known for awhile now.
edit - just now it's with the included lolporzingis. At the end of the day Porz as nothing to do with it, Knicks always wanted him to play center, he didn't want to play center.
