Pop is a great coach but Wow Leonard needs to be commended for being humble enough to be coached like that. So right or wrong, can you imagine if you were the best employee at your company and the president of the company yelled at you in front of your co-workers. I know they are athletes so they are supposed to be used to that, but us ex-atheletes and even ex-military people dont take that type of coaching well. It takes a ton of pride and determination to get to the top of your field and then humility to be coached so that you can be even better.

I watched that game live and thought Leonard followed Pop's instructions but Ginobili and Aldridge messed up the play. Kawhi still got yelled at.

Which is even more amazing. Can you imagine even further if you didnt mess up..and you the best and you still get RIPPED by the boss ..who could never do what you do... HUMBLE SUPERSTAR...gonna win an MVP someday. Because he is just solid day in and day out. He cant win this year because in my opinion he is 4th....harden, westbrook (then any number of 3rd people) then him.

Not only a rout, but David Lee with that 'swan style' Dim Mak vibrating elbow to the upper spine of James.

Sure, it looked like just a wisp of contact, but make no mistake - judging by the reaction, that was straight DEATH TOUCH and LeBron likely has about 2 days before succumbing to Fist of the North Star-esque internal bleeding. :sour:

A hard foul gets the crowd up proper rowdy, but it's straight Sun Tzu to outright extinguish your rivals furtive and skulky. 'A dagger at midnight beats a thousand swords at dawn' and all that.

RIP Bron - fun while it lasted.

Detriot loses too. It might become relevant if Detroit gets mathematically eliminated before our game with them (our 81st game of the season). That game might get pretty easy if Detroit starts thinking about lotto seedings.

Interesting game Bucks - Celtics and OKC - Orl another big shot by Russ and they went to OT

Thank goodness Lebron traded Wiggins for Love...because we wouldn't have a chance if their 3rd best player was Andrew Freaking Wiggins!

Happy to see Tmac in the HOF! One of my favorites, ever!

Judgement day! Bos - Cle for 1st spot. If Cavs wins we must start winning. Tor - Det is interesting too

If the Cavs win, they'll probably decide to go all out and secure the top seed, which means they'll actually try hard over their remaining 4 games.

One of those games is against Toronto. If Cleveland wins that, it opens up our avenue to secure 3rd.

Another of those Cleveland games is against Miami. If Cleveland wins that, it'll probably eliminate Miami from the playoffs; which will mean Miami has no motivation to play hard against us in the final game of the season, making our path that much easier.

Some nights, Detroit looks unstoppable when their defense is clicking.

12 pts lead isn't enough to feel comfortable. DeRozan had 17pts in last game vs Pistons now has 6 wow

Miami beats the Hornets. They are tied for 8th with the Bulls and Pacers. They are going to mean business against us.

Milwaukee is scary, but Miami is horrifying. That's the team to dodge in the first round.

We really need to beat them. Otherwise there is still a chance we could play them in the first round.

What a choke job by Detroit.

Mojo Amok · Post #1877 » by **Mojo Amok** » Thu Apr 6, 2017 1:48 am

I can't believe Detroit has choked this bad - I was getting all ready to write 'if the Wizards win out, they're locked into....'

:nonono:

I knew it. Pistons choked hard. Glad they are out after this poor piss finish

On the other hand Boston looks so outmatched by Cleveland.
