Steve Kerr says JaVale McGee likely to get Warriors final roster spot

This is either crazy dumb or genius, most likely dumb

However I could 100% believe that they will keep him just to give press something to ask about besides Durant and 3-1

Every time I see the bulls roster I just involuntarily shudder a little

it's gonna be ugly. they might be worse than the knicks this year?

k, this i could actually see happening

uh guys brad stevens [checks wikipedia] is def old enough to drink

some good articles on the web today. strauss's draymond piece is really good. Good RWB piece. Good KD piece. I havent worked yet today

jordan called the green piece great gossip so im going to read it

"The guys might be frustrated by his antics, but they had an opportunity to prove themselves without him in Game 5 and they played like a bunch of [cowards]."

lol

it is good gossip but also good in other ways

ha how did i miss this

When it's his turn to address the crowd, Green, victory cap slightly askew, shambles across the podium, snatches the mic and declares that he's excited to be speaking. Golden State PR maestro Raymond Ridder, Green explains, "tried not to let me talk today. He know I'm gonna get controversial."

And then he proceeds to validate most all of Ridder's fears: "With these guys, everything's fun. The only time it's not fun is practice ... film ... games ... bus rides. I'm the only person that gets talked about what shots I take and all those things by Steve Kerr. Like, every time I take a shot, he complains. So that's why, if you see, every time I make a shot, I look at him. Dude complain every time I take a shot."

From his seat on the stage behind Green, Kerr shrugs and loudly counters: "Twenty-four percent!" Which just happens to be Green's 3-point shooting percentage during the final three rounds of the playoffs.

that story is great! the gossip is good but i mean insofar as it relates to the power structures w/in the franchise

Kerr once quipped of his team's appeal, "We have a very likable group of guys -- other than Draymond."

lmao

as far as draymond goes it seems fortuitous that the warriors have had coaches who played primarily with michael jordan and kobe bryant

ha good point

i feel like the bulls are about to go on a run reminiscent of the tim floyd era

lmao i love dray

so much fascinating stuff in there. dray could really learn from it if he doest just get all defensive about it but I'm sure it will go the other way.

always hurt to see draymon berating ezili in games, it got worse and ezili lost all his confidence. I'm sure thats who mo buckets was talking about.

kerr handles dray the right way but man it's a fine line he has to tip toe.

dray easily the most entertaining player in the league over the last year +

ya undercutting a teammates confidence is def an indication youre becoming toxic

still cant wait for dray inevitable attempt in a starring role in some other team thats not full of the best shooters of all time

it seems unusual to me that the GM and coach were willing to go on the record for a story like this. the warriors are def a ~different~ organization and they prob trust ethan ss but it def seems like they're trying to get thru to draymond somehow

for real. they seem pretty transparent

ya gp

kd piece: http://www.rollingstone.com/sports/features/kevin-durant-had-to-blow-up-his-life-to-get-his-shot-w445344

spottie otm, good pieces today

btw kd said he wldntve come to the dubs if they won, there is a very close parallel universe where hes on the celtics and im trying to open a portal

Fast Break ‏@GSWFastBreak 12m12 minutes ago
Qs raised over Dray's leadership in @SherwoodStrauss's piece ultimately just player dev issue. He's a natural leader, but can he be better?

its a fine line, hes def charismatic and models hard work well but on the other hand overly excitable is a very anti-leadership trait, hes at an age where ppl tend to mature a lot but also seems like his natural tendency is to rebel against criticism which its clear hes getting a lot of from management, also lets not forget hes a compulsive nut hunter

how is lagoon not banned yet first he likes football, then he questions the spurs, now he slanders draymond, when will it end

temecula

lol

guys basketball is starting soon

omg so pumped this season gonna be so flames

:]

also i def signed into about 40 separate ilx accounts just to FP lagoon into oblivion. probably only needs a few more. come on ilh step up.

i feed off the hate, the FPs

draymond is the worst

his game is p sweet imo (shooting aside)

he is p obnoxious tho in a way that wld be more ok if he werent the 4th best player on his team

i like draymond tbh, if i were a dubs fan i imagine it'd be like a "he may be an SOB but he's our SOB" situation

dray more likeable than both steph and klay imo
