Around the NBA - March 2018

[Chris Craig]

538 says the Blazers now have a 3% chance to WIN the NBA championship.

Sounds small to some, but I can't ever remember it being so large.

 

[Lanny]

I not one that dogs on Westbrick much (other then the name) as he is a very good player but this is pretty blatant @HCP

It's his attitude that gets me.

1977 before Walton went down.

And 1991 when Cliff Robinson dropped that fast break bounce pass from Kersey.

Cavaliers coach Ty Lue taking break to deal with health issues

Drew was decent as HC in Atlanta. I wonder if there's a possibility of the Cavs giving him the HC job full time if he spurs the Cavs to a run in Lue's absence.

 

[THE HCP]

I've heard stories about you but so far you seem easy for me to get along with.

I knew a guy in high school. He always seemed pleasant to me, so much so that I can only picture him from memory with a smile. Well, he became this famous neurosurgeon. perhaps the best West of the Mississippi. I was talking to this doctore who coincidentally knew him and told me how rotten his personality was. I then heard the same rumor from others. My wife had an anomaly on her brain show up on an MRI. The neurologist said he did'nt think it was anything significant but we should get a second opinion to make sure. So, I made an appointment with the famous neurosurgeon that I knew in high school. While in his office we chatted about old times and I mentioned that I remembered him as always having a smile on his face. He looked at me and said "Maybe on the inside." I still remember him fondly.

Well, maybe you're a little like that neurosurgeon. I remember that smile on your face when I first met you.

My wife? Oh, it was nothing. Probably something she got when she was a kid and got the measles. My wife and I left the office and celebrated.

Glad to hear she is OK! And I would love to hear the “stories” about The HCP and am curious who they came from. Hmmmmm

It puts a smile on my face knowing that people care about me so much to even HAVE strories.

This is not good. Sounds serious. Cancer? Leukemia?

The weather? The political situation in our country currently? Stock market?

Cavaliers coach Ty Lue taking break to deal with health issues

Sounds like a case of the Lebrons to me.

 

[Natebishop3]

LeBron yells at Lue on the bench in loss.

A few days later Lue is taking a break.

Coincidence?

Sounds more like stress and sleep deprivation. The expectations and pressure in CLE must be off the charts. First Kevin Love with anxiety attacks and now Lue with this. I don't mind seeing the downfall of the Cavs, it would be nice to see someone besides GSW and CLE in the finals, but I hate to see it go down like this.

You know, that was my first thought, but I wasn't quite sure how to say it. You've summed it up nicely.

Yeah, it was pretty clear who was in charge there. At that moment I remembered why I wouldn't want Lebron to pollute my team's chemistry with his shit, no matter how good he is at basketball.

I'll stick with Dame and the Damettes, thank you.

LeBron definitely seems to like to have quiet little mousy coaches. Spoelstra is also a bit of a Dormouse, but Riley was always lurking in the shadows so I'm not sure if that was the same situation.

I don't know how LeBron would do with a guy like Pop or Doc Rivers. Terry is a players coach so I'm sure they'd get along fine.

 

[Sarni]

I wonder how he will get along with Brett Brown next season.

 

[LayneStaley]

Call me crazy but I’d still trade Stotts for Lebron.

I'm more concerned with his affect on the players and team chemistry. Although I'd also worry about his coaching and his GM acumine. I like the team and management we have. Prima donas need not apply.

I'd trade my sister to the Arabs for Lebron.

Because Mike Brown was a mouse?

People are actually entertaining NOT getting LeBron if it were even remotely possible?

Pop likes to win and respects talent and hard work. I'm sure he'd get along just fine with LeBron.

I would 100% take him.

Have a nice summer, Denver.

I know the nuggets game when to 2 OT, they just don’t play any defense. They are not giving themselves a good chance to make the playoffs.
