Nah Rondo is really temperamental,for whatever reason he didn’t respect Carlisle so it was never going to work.

Game 3 win against the Heat...let's see what happens.
what happens with what though ? they don't even need to win this series to prove anything. their two best players are a rookie and a 2nd year player who only played 94 games in those 2 years. and they have home court in the 1st round. karma is magical thinking. life is full of injustice. you're a knicks fan, aren't you ? so you should know.
They're relying on older guys to win these games and Embiid has yet to show he can stay healthy for any extended period of time. Honestly I'd rather have the Jazz or the Nuggets roster.

She lost some of her looks. She was a legit 8 during her playing days.

Rick Carlisle is over rated. There I said it.

I remember when I was watching olympics 2008 and she was playing for Russia, I thought that's one hot Russian women.
First women athlete crush for me at that time she was haha
Celtics fan.
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

preferring mitchell or jokic to their young players is fine. that's not what the poster was talking about though. there's no karmic retribution for tanking. there's no long term damage to a franchise. as soon as you get good players you're good again. that's all that really matters.

Again, please explain to me how are they relying on older guys? Its the 2nd time im quoting you with this statement.
First you stated they are relying too much on Ersan and Marco. And I told you they had no choice but to give Ersan 30+ minutes w/ Embiid out. With Embiid back, Ersan only got 20 minutes. They for damn sure arent living and dying with JJ Redick. And Marco has earned his playing time since he got to Philly. Hes shooting near 50% from the field in 31 games played now w/ Philly.
You know Embiid, Simmons, Covington, and Saric are all fine young players, and they rely on all of them more than Marco, JJ or Ersan. I dont know why you are choosing to ignore their main 4 pieces, who are all starters. If anything, they are relying heavily on Simmons since hes the one who is creating most of the older guys shots.

Re: Around The NBA - Fight to the Finish
Jrue spends around half his minutes at the 2 and his defense is still just as valuable at either slot. We can live with Trey and Frank together.
Brooklyn Nets
Damian Lillard - Rajon Rondo - Trey Burke
Victor Oladipo - Wes Matthews - Javon Carter
Caris LeVert - Derrick Jones Jr. - Glenn Robinson III
Andre Igoudala - Killian Tillie - Trey Lyles
Joel Embiid - Taj Gibson - Kevon Looney

if the Knicks are interviewing Kenny Smith, they should also give Becky Hammon a call.
