Around the NBA (And Oregon High Schools) - January 2018

These he goes again “padding” his stats!

They're simply referring to rebounds. Stop burning strawmen.

Woj knew it before Kidd?

Imagine getting fired over twitter, or rather finding out about it from Woj.

 

[Chris Craig]

Damn its announced already and he doesn't know.

 

[dviss1]

Cold as ice.

Prunty has ties to POR (former assistant coach).

Deal coming soon!!!! Hold onto your shorts!

As long as Stotts is safe

It's just as pathetic as the first time I saw it!!

Maybe this is my inability / privilege or whatever, but I've never really looked at Kidd and Fizdale and thought "look at all the black dudes the teams are hiring!"

 

[BonesJones]

Someone was going to put together a video identifying reasons Stotts needs to go. Was that you?
If so, where is the video? I haven't seen anything posted here yet.

I was, decided not to.

Maybe this is my inability / privilege or whatever, but I've never really looked at Kidd and Fizdale and thought "look at all the black dudes the teams are hiring!"

The other thing they all had in common: all three teams sucked.

Although, in Fizdale's case, I though he got a raw deal - too many injuries and a seriously flawed roster.

Earl Watson is half Mexican too, why no talk about the only Mexican head coach getting fired?

We always know when there's a QB, Coach, GM, Owner, etc.

1 drop rule.

At least in college basketball, you don't have to even fire your coach. The FBI will break down their door and activate that "Just Cause" clause.

 

[Sarni]

It's quite justified IMO, they haven't made much progress in the last year. They are just 23-22 and behind Heat, 76ers and Pacers who all have inferior rosters compared to the Bucks.

Bucks are not good enough to compete but they should be closer to where Heat, not on the verge of dropping out of playoffs. Not making playoffs in the East with Giannis, Middleton and Bledsoe in your team would be pretty bad.

UTA getting killed by ATL. 93-69 with 5 minutes left.

Cavs falling apart

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'd think pretty hard about trading Meyers and CJ for Love and their #1 from BKN.

OMG get him to Portland now

 

[SheedSoNasty]

DeMarcus Cousins putting up video game stats tonight:

44 pts, 24 reb, 10 ast, 5/11 from three in a win over the Bulls.

Ha yeah ya think?

Good player + Shit Player for Good Player + Potential Top Five Pick? Gilbert isn't giving up that pick if covered him honey and threw him into a family of starving Kodiak bears. Not with Lebron half way out the door.

 

[ripcityboy]

OH SHIT!!!!!!

Wow--just did a quick search on that; that's the first 40/20/10 game since WILT!!

Cavs falling apart

That locker room deserves it's own reality show. They should call it "Drama Queens and Imbeciles".

They call a team meeting and immediately start pointing fingers at the guy who played the first three minutes of a 148-point beat down. WTF??? How about a little accountability from the guys who were actually on the floor giving up 148 points and 16 offensive rebounds in a regulation game? Really??? Those morons thought MORE Kevin Love is the answer to their defensive woes?

If you're going to bash a teammate for his poor defense, at least be consistent. If Love is the root of their defensive struggles, why didn't the guys doing the bitching step up and show him how it's done? Nope, instead, they roll over, give up 148 points and then immediately point the finger at him? Oh, the irony. Hey guys, try looking in the mirror sometime. You got your collective asses handed to you, and it wasn't Love's fault.

I also find it deliciously ironic that Cleveland's biggest problem is the lack of rim protection. The only reason CLE has a championship was after Bogut went down, GSW had no rim protection, which turned the final three games of that series into a lay-up drill for LeBron & Co. Well, that was an injury. CLE's problem is much bigger. They don't have a single rim protector on their roster. The entire season has been a lay-up drill for their opponents. Adding Isaiah Thomas to the roster hasn't helped.

But, it's cool that they have resorted to infighting and finger pointing. Let them keep thinking that will solve their problems.

That would be a great name for THIS website if you think about it FAMS!

How self-deprecating of you...

P.S. Deprecation has nothing to do with feces. That's defecation.
