Wow so much drama in Dallas. Haralabob was always this cryptic dude who used to show up on Bill Simmons podcast.
 
Did Giannis wish for something, like a crazy NBA news day filled with Shams/Woj bombs to happen so it will overshadow their teams bad performance last night.

Can we trade Donnie Nelson for NeO ??

I bet he would be interested. With Luka on a rookie deal about to sign on long term, and Neil's favorite, Porzingis?

Wonder if we could extract some compensation for getting rid of Olshey.

Maybe there's a reason we're interviewing Barry?

Barry is a bright guy. I gathered that by listening to his color commentary. I’d love to have him around the organization in some capacity.
 
So with Calabro it's gonna be back to "The Cup" when someone scores.
 
If both Washington decides to jettison Beal and we hire MDA, here's an idea no one will like. How about Dame and Russ?

Dame can provide even more spacing than Harden did for Russ, and MDA got him to play the most efficiently he ever has. The Russ/Nurk units wouldn't provide the same open lanes as Russ/Collins (switching units), but it could be fun for a year or two (the time remaining on Russ' contract).

Maybe he's advocating that the Blazers play dirty.

And he needs to defer to those who can shoot in crunch time. That is just not his game. In the playoffs when there are fewer fast breaks (where he excels) he is still a force if he is not in foul trouble. ( I assume his 5 fouls is why he was not covering Durant in the 4th) He can still grab offensive rebounds and get putbacks. It's just hard to grasp that he can be so dominant for 3 1/2 quarters and so below average in the last 5-6 minutes. (On offense)

The Bucks haven't been using him as the go-to guy down the stretch because he's developed Chuck Knoblauch Syndrome with his FT shooting. They've been going to Middleton at the end of games. Middleton's good, but he's not that good.
 
Damn I really wanted the hawks to win this series. One of the joys in life is seeing the media flounder to try to create stories and expose them as frauds (looking at you, ESPN).
