Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN 2mBoris Diaw averaging 10.3 points on 8.5 FGA. Does Pop expect Scorin' Boris to keep up his aggressiveness? "Sure," Pop says, "Or sit."

i was skeptical abt bringing a coach straight from college but upon further reflection: stevens success at butler wasnt built on recruiting which is how most big name college 'coaches' do it it was based on like basketball stuff, he was so ridiculously successful just kind of unreal levels of successfulnesses, he doesnt have to win right away so he has time to adjust to the pro game im not against college guys making the leap but it seems generally like a season or two as an assistant might be helpful and this set up where the celtics are tanking and he has a long contract can maybe serve the same purpose, hes not an authoritarian like a lot of college coaches a quality which insults nba players

well dolan has prob made a lot of money off of MSG
i'm not sure what he cares about
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, November 12, 2013 1:04 PM (1 hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
iirc he cares about Daily News Blues, Long White Cadillac, Gonna Kill That Dog (both versions), and other of his blooz jams. To be fair, he also has a song called "Fix the Knicks," so I guess even when he's channelling SRV, cap problems, reemploying Isaiah Thomas and JR Smith's brother are never far from his heart.

how is that a tech? ball is live you should be able to do what you want with it

yeah is there like a written rule against that?
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 20:15 (ten years ago) link
lamest "taunting" call ever.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 20:18 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, there's written rule that makes blatantly faking a pass at your defender's face a taunting tech.
“I ain’t think that was nothing. I’ve got that from Michael Jordan,” Stephenson told reporters after the game. “I’ve seen Michael Jordan do that all the time, now it’s a technical foul. So I don’t know if I’ll do that anymore.”

ref holds a grudge towards lance is the only explanation i can come up with
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 20:35 (ten years ago) link
idk if someone wants to be flippant with the ball, let em be. Maybe the defender should just, you know, steal it from them?

the funny part is it fucked w tony for a second and he does a lil flinch

Apparently he really does shoot 80% in practice. He needs a sports psychologist.
Guess it's too late into his career to try switching to his naturally dominant hand to shoot a la Tristan Thompson.

Heat announcers very reluctant to attempt to pronounce Antetokounmpo's name, just let him take a 3 pointer with no comment.
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 01:00 (ten years ago) link
this would not be a problem if everyone could agree on a cool nickname
― twist boat veterans for stability (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 13 November 2013 01:12 (ten years ago) link
heat announcers also referred to lebron hiking the ball to chalmers as his "signature move"
actually that was the bucks guy nvm

wow beasley with a sick block and got a BS foul call

I like the bucks announcers, they're endearingly yokelish
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 01:56 (ten years ago) link
Or they could just call him Giannis it's not that hard and we've been putting up up with announcers calling roethlisberger "Ben" like they're good buds for a decade so it's not so horrible

future of the franchise.

Btw z Lowe usually on point but I can't get with this
6. The no-tie look
Basketball takes place in a sweaty gym, amid rowdy fans and trash-talking athletes. Why the need for such sartorial formality among coaches? Kudos to the increasing number of guys going without a tie, a group that includes Rick Adelman, Kevin McHale, Gregg Popovich, Mike Brown, and others.
^no no noAThis way lies madness and Rex Ryan sweater vests and Pete Carroll salesman of the month polos and belichick looking like a hobo who was left for dead by the train tracks in his grimy 3/4 sleeve sweatshirt
No thank you

If you are a man with a job that pays multiple millions of dollars and regular national tv appearances...do us a favor and pack a tie in yr road trip
Maybe we can get wacky for the under-40 guys in the first twenty games or so but c'mon

my cable guide has all these little narrative descriptions for each game and they always choose a weird angle to sell the game, e.g. this is all about Caron Butler's return to Miami
― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 02:15 (ten years ago) link
lebron's got "the look" right now, first time all season i've seen it

At the moment, Gallinari has "no idea" when he will return to the court as he recovers from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.The Italian forward is limited to rehabbing in the weight room from the injury he sustained in April. He said that while he does occasionally shoot free throws, he hasn't really been able to run the floor.
