How long it take between Dirk and Luka? You just need smart management

20 years

20 years

Dirk literally played with Luka one year. Dallas went from one legend to another young legend VERY fast

but they were drafted 20 years apart. It took Dallas 20 years to find another player on Dirk's level

Not sure how people can not like coach Stotts?

Nurk Game ball!

Coaching isn’t just about Xs and Os. I think that gets lost a lot in today’s NBA.

I work as a field biologist here in Florida. I spend 10+ hours a day out in the shit. Dehydration is really real. No doubts or jokes.

I was in prison outside of Tallahassee for 5 years mid 90s and the heat is a bitch!

I think Stotts would be perfect if he would just emphasize defense more, if he would stay offensively minded but also recognize that we have to be more accountable on D. Maybe all he needs is an assistant that is like a defensive coordinator but we haven't seen him pick anyone up that fits that bill.

He needs to bring in a defensive guru assistant. its been the answer for a few years. He wont do it.

Lost in today's NBA or fans on messages boards?

Oh I thought the question meant in the sense of if a team loses one legendary player to retirement how long it took the next one to come

I know it... he's too old now but for years I wanted him to bring in the czar Mike Fratello to be our defensive mastermind and mentor Stotts.

Rip City...couldn't get the game as I was out of internet range since Friday? Nice to hear we beat Memphis for the 8th spot.
Sounds like CJ again came through in a big game to help us advance. Great to see him excel. Extend him again! lol

 

[James lamphear]

That wasn’t a negative post. I could have been “oh the sky’s falling Collins is hurt” but I’m being optimistic without Collins and Gaberial taking his minutes WE WILL BE JUST AS FINE. Learn the game then post

You been so negative against Zach this whole bubble. He has done postive things too. But you never bring them up and plus you repeat things all the time. Nobody is stupid in here you say it once that's all you got to do. You don't like Zach then that's on you but there is a lot us thinks he can be very good player He show that last year playoffs.

 

[Shaboid]

Oh damn you mad mad

Haha I'm happy bro. Glad we are in the playoffs!

 

[Natebishop3]

Yep you’re a hater.

I guess I am then?
