itt fans of non-playoff teams chatter about the off season (2013)

i feel like a lot of good point guards are kind of jerks- cp3 is definitely, deron absolutely, rondo...

Can't decide if Monta is a jerk or not

oh most definitely

though maybe im conflating "takes lots of low-percentage shots" with "is a jerk"

tbf if you do that you are basically a jerk.

there was the whole thing where he said he couldn't coexist with steph on the basketball court.

and yeah, he's a gunner whose confidence in his GS teammates fluctuated (haven't been following him on the bucks)

Melo seems like he'd be really unpleasant based on his game but idk maybe he's chill.

tbf if you do that you are basically a jerk.

heh i read this to mean if i do that (conflating) that *i* am a jerk

i mean i am a jerk but i pass the rock and set picks mang

melo is def a jerk, he fake-tried to fight kg outside over some basic trash talk, weak

KG prime time trolled him though.

kg is def not a jerk, he is an insane person. jerks are petty malcontents. melo seems more like a spoiled brat who hates not getting his way.

Where are the ILH bulls/Blackhawks fans?

Need a hockey borad

lol hockey

David West seems like a jerk, more of a look though. Same with Kendrick Perk.

there are a couple of bulls fans who post here, deej too but he doesn't post any more

they talk about hockey on ILE iirc

there's a hockey thread with an unwieldily title that I've never opened

i like unwieldy titles bc when i was finish w the thread and bookmark it, i feel like ive accomplished more bc more space at the top has cleared out

WHAT

whoa

Argh eff Kidd for depriving us this year from the chance to finally see a player-coach in the 21st century. Knicks would've been a hell of a lot more interesting to watch if there were always the chance Kidd would rip off his suit and check himself in arghghghghghgh.

player-coach is banned in the NBA, I'm pretty sure

have they banned it since 96 when magic did it?

Chauncey Billups won NBA's Teammate of the Year. He then went on First Take and called Blake Griffin soft.

WATCH THAT

stephen jackson is completely too real for life

he is bout this life

matt who do you want/think is reasonable to be the nuggs coach?

side q to kevin k: was it a good idea to fire karl?

it's difficult to hate the guy and i think he's a great regular season coach, especially (as matt called it earlier) as a manager of a group of knuckleheads like the nuggets, but at times it's obvious he doesn't really have a clue what lineups to put out there or who's playing well and who isn't, and it becomes obvious and more important come playoff time. and to go 2 or 3 games against the best shooter ever and leave him open off the ball is pretty damning as evidence that the dude didn't have a strategy in that series

Good points. speaking as a W's fan, that series was "fluke-y". The firing seemed like a panic move.
Billups as Nugs coach, imo. Player/coach even.

eh fuck having former players as coaches imo

why
