I'm sure this is sacrilegious, but is anyone else not a huge fan of Hubie Brown?

yeah that's what im saying. they should be much better with all that talent on that team.
someone like bud will get that squad right

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

Definitely enjoyable to listen to. He's the TV version of Radio Breen back in the day.

The crying over spilled milk is weak. As good as Mitchell is, what we don't know yet is what Frank's future net positives will be. If Frank turns out to be an all-world defender who shuts down guys like Donovan, then Frank's differentials in the future may actually be equal to or exceed a guy averaging 25 PPG.
If Frank averages 15-20 PPG while clamping down on scorers and shaving off 10-15 points on their usual production, then his +/- could easily become elite.
People have no patience.
There is this concept called "time value of money".
Interesting to read about and could be applied here.
Tell the people who want to unload the whole team to acquire Kahwi about the time value of money.

He's old in the tooth now, but as a coach he produced some of the toughest defensive units the NBA has ever seen.

this year's celtics. next year they'll have kyrie and hayward. philly will be a year older. the raps will still have a great regular season. they'll maybe be 4th if lebron leaves the east.

yep, as good as mitchell is, losing Rubio will hurt them in this series.
Pelicans will just run out of gas against the Warriors.

The Rockets offense is cringe worthy. Geez, its basically Harden dribble, dribble, dribble, step back, shoot a contested deep 3.

Same in the East...
And the finals might be a sweep if Sixers beat the Cavs

I went out hiking with Mrs. and Lil' 'O this morning and snagged about 10 lbs of oyster mushrooms so I'm a happy Cappy today.

Now you've got to give him credit. Look, this guy has been doing it for years. Now that was just a terrific play. I think he was right on the money there.
