Get MJ the hell out of here man.

This is a dude who didn't want to address young black kids dying over his sneakers and has said multiple times he doesn't care about helping the black community.


He wasn't "racist" against white folks, he just doesn't like anybody. :lol


Still my favorite athlete of all time but I always have to seperate the athlete from the man.
 
Ray played a great game aginst BK, if the heat are going to 3-peat, ray must have games like this to take the scoring load of bron and co.
 
This is the first time hes won it too. Ridiculous. They just dont want to give us trophies mang.
 
Verizon Center is having a viewing party of game 2 tonight

In there

GO WIZARDS!
 
I'm sending reps for whoever mentions Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje. He probably had the funniest name in the NBA when I was growing up and never thought about it til someone mentioned it a few days ago. :lol
 
After the MVP speech no way the Thunder lose this game.. throw the house on OKC tonight.

If the Clippers shoot anything like they did the last game, OKC is still going to lose.

OKC now has to play defense since they are not playing against a team that struggles to score the basketball. Its going to be tough.
 
That Jackson interview. :{


He's a stand up dude though man, still wouldn't even throw shade on the organization though they did him garbage.


Interested to see who they get to replace him because though he has his faults, he was on he's on his way to being a great coach.
 
think we will get Mark Jackson back in the booth with VanGundy and Breen for the finals if he isn't hired by then???

Chris Paul isn't hitting 8 in a row from deep tonight though.

However you're right, the defense has to be improved especially getting out to the 3 point line.


Also a BIG factor will be Russ/KD shot selection. Russ needs to attack Chris Paul, no 3 pointers unless he's hot and wide open. KD, as great as a shooter as he is, he has to go to the rim and get DJ/Blake in foul trouble. Once that's accomplished they but more specifically KD can shoot more 3's. With Brooks struggle offense and their lack of ball movement, they have to rely on at least the best type of iso ball which is 1 or 2 moves and straight to the rim or at least foul line extended.


Clippers have great offense but Ibaka plays Blake very well and Perk actually did a good job on DJ as well. Russ cannot let Chris Paul turn up like that though, he has to be smarter as a defender because dude knows how to exploit anything you do wrong.

If Brooks and Vogel are dismissed, the NBA will lose the coaches with the fourth- and sixth-longest tenures, respectively. The average current tenure would drop to 2.1 seasons.

The most amazing finding in the chart is that Jeff Hornacek is the longest-tenured coach in the Pacific Division. He was hired 11 months and 10 days ago. Michael Malone was hired two days later, and Doc Rivers joined the Clippers a couple of weeks later. Going into next season, the five Pacific coaches will have a combined three seasons of experience with their current teams. That's straight-up lunacy.

Is the quick hook in the NBA a bad or good thing? It's apparent that it can be destructive: what teams with high turnover tend to do is create a constant churn every couple of years. That lack of stability wears on players and creates a culture of uncertainty. In addition, learning new systems takes time and mental energy that might be better used sharpening up fundamentals.

Well damn.
