I don’t have an issue with them partying HS. They had
a rough, demoralizing and disappointing ECF series.
And as a matter of fact - I’m glad to see them going out together. They’ll make me even happier if the play together regularly during the offseason.

Its down to Bryant and Ott for the PHX job. Leon fires Tom immediately to show Bryant that the job is his if he wants it. Bryant declines the PHX job, Ott gets hired as a result and now it's just a matter of time until the Bryant hire is made official.

Sorry I don't buy that we are seriously trying to poach JKidd.


I don't believe the Kidd stuff either.

If any of the rumors come from bona fide internal leaks there's always the possibility it is an act of misdirection as well

gang should have stayed up when he was up.

also, i was trying to find out what controversy he had. and i believe he was an n-word hard r user and belittled cerebral palsy folks. like... bad bad guy.

i knew i unfollowed for a reason but couldn't remember what.

i don't have X, so i can't read the threads about it. but i think they're still out there.

thanks for everything, thibs.

KAT needs to learn to set a screen then


came to say this. thank you!

if he sets screens and JB doesn't hit him on a pop or roll, then we can hold cap accountable.

imagine a world where they could do that... and the other three guys are moving. the havoc they could wreak.

X only works if you stay in specific topical lanes like A.I. hacks and investments, but if you veer out of tight subject domains like those it gets creepy and nasty fast for obvious reasons

TBH, it is outrageous it basically never happened this past season. We all would have been slobbering like idiots for well executed PnR action between Brunson and KAT. I still cannot believe this was not utilized. Everyone was speculating initially about how lethal that would/could/should be for good reason. That alone is justification to can Thibs. There's simply no excuse for it

money and relaxation is more important for them right now. This is the side effect of thibs style ball; it causes burnout the most

they are just happy being out of that 7-rotation thibs grind

They like each other.

Giannis is way more valuable than those 3 yes. You would have serious depth and balance concerns. Giannis wants to score...Brunson is a natural scorer and a passer second. Obviously KAT needs the ball. Would KAT be a 3rd option...if he's a 3rd option is he defending enough to warrant his scoring taking a hit?

Then you would need shooting at the 2 and 3 but also a POA defender (I guess that would be McBride). Then you would need another quality defending 3 that could shoot as well. I don't think you could start Hart with Giannis for spacing problems.

With the CBA it certainly would be a challenge to fill out the rest of the starters.


JB and KAT are both willing passers though. i'd like to think they'd both be looking for the other two.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.
