Let's not get too carried away. Walton might be a good head coach a couple years down the road, but right now he has a unproven track record. I'm not willing to gamble the teams future on a hot commodity atm.

Dubs are just loaded with talent....but talent alone isn't winning them games. It's the chemistry and the fact that guys know their individual roles that's makes them so special. Also helps to have a guy who plays in video game mode night in and night out.

All the Knick fans that gave Porzingas crap on draft night can get crow. Phil Jackson looks like a damn genius right now.

They are the most improved team in the league in terms of net rating. Jimmy boy is gonna be having a very bad thanksgiving dinner if Phil is going to Jeanie's.

The **** is happening to the Clippers man? Down 30 to the Raptors at end of 1st half.

Doc, CP3 and Griffen are extremely over-rated?
If Scott is the king of contradictions and excuses, Doc's the Dalai Lama...
He never seems like he has any plan... He's coached teams that coached themselves to this point, but CP3 is getting older and it seems a little like the whole DaJ thing took something out of them.

Poor guy. He could've cleaned up alot of Kobe's trash this year.

I disagree on Griffin. That guy does it all. Paul is the one with limited stamina and only CP3 in stretches now instead of full game.

Doc also has ran his course there in my opinion.

Feel bad for Okafor, you can tell he wants to win. This season his team's probably going to lose more games than he's lost in his College + High school career.

You may be right on Griffin... I just don't like him. Seems like a paper tiger in a lot of ways. But I admit he puts up good numbers and is the best player on that team.

He's going to have a good career in the NBA but playing for Pilly is like going to Purgatory. That team would 'blow it up' if they broke 500.

Yeah I like Griffin a ton, he probably started not far from where Randle is now and developed his game every year. Such a smart and cerebral player.

The Clippers' 4/5 starters are as good as any in the league right now but they are the prime example of how you can only go so far without a good supporting cast.

Sad part is are we even that far from them in terms of losing? At least they had the better player fall to them once again like noel and maybe embiid if he ever gets on the floor

I think we're significantly better than them right now.

Zach Lowe Interview with Kemba wrote:Is Jeremy Lin's hair cool or ridiculous?

It's pretty cool.

I think you're just being nice.

It's cool. We all like it. It's an advantage for us. If anyone messes with us, he can, you know, just get 'em for us. [At this point, Walker mimics Lin bending over at the waist, and using his hair as some sort of battering ram into an enemy's chest -- kind of like a bull goring a matador).

Clippers dropping another home game to jazz. This gonna be fun if balmer goes ballistic and fires rivers.
