one day history books will show just how awful a combo of mitch/mj were together. i lump them together because they are linked. no way to really tell who was influencing who. mj being cheap and stubborn, mitch being a dinosaur who refused to admit the league had changed.

That was my first thought. He was such a professional when he was here. Some nights it felt like he was the only player trying. And then he got his face caved in and that was pretty much it. A 2010 2011 season was such a bummer. I had high hopes going into that season after the playoff appearance the season before. Thought maybe the team was ready to take another leap. But everything fell apart in terrible Larry Brown fashion. He quit on the team and then threw the team under the bus after every single game. Basically dared Jordan to fire him mid season. Complete disaster. Overhauled the roster and took on terrible contracts - diop - to appease him only for him to quit after two seasons because he's a giant man baby. The team could have been decent had Larry not run Tyson Chandler out of town or even not demanded drafting dj Augustin over Brook Lopez when we needed a center. Demanding Tyrus Thomas when that team desperately needed shooting and not another awful version of Gerald Wallace. And then Gerald Wallace started to fall apart cause Larry Brown was playing him 40 minutes a game at power forward the season before. ugh... felton, jackson, wallace, diaw, lopez would have been a solid playoff team.

I'm thinking of betting Denver to win the finals this morning. They just have that look. I'm probably going to wait until they lose again though

Julius Randle warning some respect now?
I've heard lots of criticism about him, being empty stats etc but he's a big part of that Wolves team

Yeah the other night I said something like mark williams had a full offseason because he can’t workout or something instead of can. I just let it be.

The amount of typos I have from using 95% speech to text is ridiculous.

This Knicks - Celtics game has been fantastic, but hate to see that happen to Tatum.

To me looked like an Achilles tear for sure.

Injuries are cruel. Cavs copping a lot of heat for getting knocked out of the finals again.

Someone suggest Giannis for Garland and Allen, i sorta like it for both.

Joker needs new teammates. That was **** embarrassing last 18 mins by everyone else on the team. They had their chance and blew it.

The Nuggets, other than Joker, went 1 for 15 in the fourth quarter. That one made field goal was Murray on his last second meaningless lay up.

You can't play Porter because the dude can't lift his arm past his shoulder. And you can't put Westbrook on the floor when he air balls two 3 pointers on consecutive shots so badly that it looked like he was shooting left handed. And everyone else on that bench is useless.
