wow, boylen is gone. but he accomplished so much.
Most bad NBA coaches get fired without ever leaving a mark. Jim Boylen literally installed a punch clock at practice, caused a team mutiny his third day on the job, coined the phrase 'double lose', compared Luke Kornet to Robert Horry, drew up ATOs for Adam Mokoka while down 20,— Ricky O'Donnell (@SBN_Ricky) August 14, 2020
Invented a 'leadership council' that didn't exist, made grown men do push-ups and wind sprints at practice, put Ryan Arcidiacono on Giannis, spoke daily of 'growth plates and 'care factors', had no shame in losing to the worst team in the NBA, "prepare the children for the road"— Ricky O'Donnell (@SBN_Ricky) August 14, 2020
Defended losses by quoting "Field of Dreams", said he wanted his team to average 35 assists which has never happened, watched almost every major piece on the team regress, had a rookie center say he's "got some things he can get better at as a person and as a coach”— Ricky O'Donnell (@SBN_Ricky) August 14, 2020

Not really sure what happened to Derrick Jones, but they had to carry him off on a stretcher. Really just looked like he ran into a screen with his shoulder :(

Kings GM Vlade Divac is stepping down, source tells @TheAthleticNBA. Joe Dumars (advisor previously) will be interim executive VP of basketball ops and immediately assumes GM duties. Dumars will be involved in the search for a new GM.— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) August 14, 2020

"My understanding is that Divac being so close to Luka and knowing his dad so well factored into their decision," MacMahon said on ESPN's "The Woj Pod." "Basically, he didn't think a whole lot of Luka's dad, and the whole like father like son ... well ... no, this is a different dude.

wow, that is quite an acceleration from the story i read ~24 hours ago about how joe dumars was an emerging voice in the kings org and that he and vlade would be working together closely!

yeah the scale of those two things is....very different
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 15 August 2020 02:36 (three years ago) link
i have seen what vivek is doing play out in my own professional life. the cliche about some leaders is that they will act like they are experts on things they know nothing about and then they make a bunch of bad decisions.
but that's not usually it. there are really smart people, who are good at a bunch of things, that end up with responsibility for something they know nothing about. and they know that they don't know about it! and that they need to listen to experts. and then they become very.....credulous. and they listen to whichever *expert* is around at the time. and *that's* how they end up making all the bad decisions.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 15 August 2020 02:48 (three years ago) link
the play in games are prob here to stay right having all those teams in the race down to the wire was good
― lag∞n, Saturday, 15 August 2020 14:33 (three years ago) link
i don't like the idea of them with a full 82 game season but if it's just 8 vs 9 i can deal
― ciderpress, Saturday, 15 August 2020 14:49 (three years ago) link
like why are we playing 82 games in a sport with decently low variance if we're still not going to accept the results at the end
― ciderpress, Saturday, 15 August 2020 14:50 (three years ago) link
also in this case it didn't actually add any relevant teams
― ciderpress, Saturday, 15 August 2020 14:53 (three years ago) link
memphis is relevant
― lag∞n, Saturday, 15 August 2020 15:03 (three years ago) link
but i think the greater benefit is just keeping more teams in the mix down the stretch
― lag∞n, Saturday, 15 August 2020 15:08 (three years ago) link
I think they shouldn’t do play in games if there’s like a 5 game gap between 8 and 9
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 15 August 2020 15:18 (three years ago) link
the rules don't suggest they should either!given how dead the end of the season often gets, a play-in has the potential for a little spice; i diggit.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 15 August 2020 15:45 (three years ago) link
memphis was already relevant is what i meant, the play-in just adds 1-2 more bubble games

Alvin Gentry gone
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 15 August 2020 16:40 (three years ago) link
imo, Gentry is good enough to hover above the cutoff line and find a team to hire him, but once hired he's not quite good enough to squeeze more wins out of his players than a dozen others could have achieved with the same group.
― the unappreciated charisma of cows (Aimless), Saturday, 15 August 2020 17:04 (three years ago) link
Yeah. Pels never looked like they knew what they were doing in half court offense. Especially at the end of games.

Pelicans have “bad organization” vibes rn
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 15 August 2020 17:31 (three years ago) link
mostly attributable to bubble performance tbh
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 15 August 2020 17:34 (three years ago) link
pels have had those vibes for ages, remember when the entire team got injured by december every season
― ciderpress, Saturday, 15 August 2020 17:46 (three years ago) link
"Bad organization vibes" would have been retaining Gentry another year after how unmitigatedly awful he's been for basically all of his tenure in New Orleans save 1 lone year. Just two seasons of winning more than 40 games in 16 years as a head coach; both those seasons he had MVP candidate superstars carrying his rosters. Gentry's a nice and affable man but that clearly has never translated to consistently winning basketball games in the NBA. At least in the head coaching spot as opposed to as an assistant.
