So I just got home from Spokane... turn on the replay of the spurs/blazers game... and it's commentated by the starters?! Fuck my life, one of the most annoying things on TV. *sigh*

Agreed. But JinxSpeed loves them, said they are amazing.

Jim Moran for head coach.

And CJ for trade bait.

and @BBert for GM!

I'm not as anti-Stotts as some on this forum, but I never understood why any coach, let alone one considered offensive-minded, would seemingly be so dead set against pushing the ball when the opportunities presented themselves. When I coached, I always thought getting the ball up the floor and getting shot opportunities before the defense could get set and find its men or its responsibilities was to our advantage.

The only possible reason I would think otherwise is if a coach wanted to limit the total number of possessions because he was worried about fatiguing his key players and didn't have confidence in his bench.

especially for the "2nd youngest team in the league."

I used to listen to / watch the basketball Jones, but they seemed to lose something, just not that entertaining to me anymore.

I wish the Lakers got a bye-bye letter from the league.

Are you kidding me? The bitching and moaning we would have to endure around here if the lakers were snuffed out?????

Hawks come back and win in the 1st round of the playoffs, we get them again in the 2nd.

Hell yes. Trae is going to have to pull a Derek Anderson and get some mysterious tooth pain to avoid getting smothered again.

My early prediction from a day or 2 ago:

He's already feeling another thigh contusion coming on...

 

[theprunetang]

I might have to start calling Trae Young "Waffle House". When Baldwin is guarding him, he is smothered and covered .

I hope Wade shuts Trae down, but I would expect Trae to come out firing after his last experience against him.

I could see some Techs being handed out in this one.
