Brooklyn getting smacked, Indiana losing... Houston pulling away from the Bulls.. New Orleans up... if we get all of these results plus we pull off the win today it will be massive!

Leonard is not better than LeBron, I 've never liked LeBron, he's a bitch, but put Leonard on that Cavs team, and they are 5-6-7 in the East, put LeBron on that Spurs team and they dismantle the Warriors.....

LeBron is a top 10 player, ever, imo, he's better than Kobe, way better than Kobe... Leonard is a star, but he's not anywhere close to LeBron...


As a matter of fact, put LeBron on our team and we challenge the Warriors/Spurs for the title....

GROW SOME BALLS. Look at what happened to Blatt when he didn't stand up for himself. Christ. On top of the blatant disrespect, I'm even more disgusted as someone who wears a suit everyday. You cannot let that **** fly.

Becky Hammon has 10000x the balls Lue and Blatt have AND she's a better coach as well.

GJ Griffin, remember when you said this?

“I’m not leaving an unprecedented team payroll and the hard work of everyone in this organization to chance.”

AU KAY.

And people say culture is overrated. What a pathetic organization. This happened in the same god damn game:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AOQ9fyErr4[/youtube]


I was quite embarassed for Lue seeing Lebron yell over him and act like the coach. But after seeing Shump throw a towel on him like that, now I'm feeling quite sorry for the little fella. The expression on his face after the towel hits him....oh man. It's like, at that point, he realizes that he's just Lebron's puppet, and that no one on the team respects him.

If a player did that to me, you better believe that I'm having him run suicides the next day in practice until he pukes. Lue needs to get their attention and show them he's boss. 7 AM practice, 9 PM curfew on the road, 2 hour film sessions, and 20 minutes of suicides/defensive shuffle drills before they even touch a basketball in practice.

Don't agree at all and if you notice I hyped up that post to make it seem obvious I was kidding as I don't normally talk like that, but I think there is a legit argument that today Leonard may be better than LeBron in his young 30's

They pulled the plug too early. **** was getting interesting with Klay's text and Ezeli starting to look a little upset. They didn't want it to be malicious though I suppose.

[tweet]https://twitter.com/JonesOnTheNBA/status/716500359691112448[/tweet]I had them last in the West in my pre-season dumb predictions, even below the tanking Lakers. Their team profile is similar to the Celtics' but with more shotmaking, athleticism, and length. Stotts is a really good coach. Should be in the top 5 voting for COY (I'd still give it to either Kerr or Pop).

Watching Jazz vs Suns and it's hilarious that Tyson Chandler at the age of 34 looks way more athletic than Amir at the age 30..

I'd give it to Stotts tbh. Pop second, Stevens third. Kerr didn't coach enough to make it over any of the other 3 guys. My reason for this is that Stotts has been by far the biggest over achiever in the NBA. I don't think coach of the year should always be given to a coach that won 65 games with a roster who you could throw a ball boy to coach(or Luke Walton) and still have them win the same amount of games. That team looked like a hot mess on paper going into the season. Very high potential team, but one who you would expect to reach 40 wins 2 years from now and not this year. They lost 4 out of 5 playoff caliber starters including LMA who is one of the best bigs in the NBA..this was a clear rebuild signal they threw up and to go through an off season nuke like that and come out with a playoff team in such a tough conference is remarkable. Also..it's not like they sneaked in with an 8th seed..they have a legit shot at a #5 seed ahead of Houston, Memphis and Dallas..that's wicked. Really respect the job Portland did this year..

Plus..Pop is such a dick. Sick of how the dude seems to be so 'mehh' about everything. I think for NBA fans it would be much more rewarding to watch Stotts get it(or Brad) for an amazing job over Pop who would probably just accept it and leave the **** on the table saying it means nothing to him or something like that.

Yeah i love Pop but his whole "excessive indifference" to everything persona is lame and stupid. My vote would go to Stotts/Brad.

Sixth man is almost certainly going to one of Iggy, Kanter, Oladipo or Barton ahead of ET.
