Or is Russell Westbrook hunting for the season triple dub awsome
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team

Dom is more detached. I have a vested interest in this collapse.

Second quarters...they've been our downfall all year long. In this recent stretch to end the season, against every above-.500-team we've played, that's ended in a close loss, we've lost the second quarter, usually by more than just a few points.

80 games into the season and Donovan still hasn't figured out that PG+bench lineups are a mega-disaster. He has a huge sample size of data to draw from to tell him that they do not work. Period. The only conclusion you can make about Donovan as an NBA head coach at this point is that he's a moron extraordinaire or he's actively trying to get fired so maybe he can go back to college where he's better suited as a basketball coach. He clearly can't hack it in the NBA.

I'd settle for a swap. Let's trade Billy Donovan to Villanova for Jay Wright. Jay Wright actually runs a beautiful ball-movement offense at Villanova that I think would translate well to the NBA.

Please get Adams more shots. They’re going to have trouble with him inside

For all of the times I see Adams on harden or Paul, I wonder why we’ve never seen Capela on harden or George.

Been garbage for 2+ months, they lose this they're officially 9th with maybe 1 win left (I'm assuming they actually beat a tanking Grizz team).

Can sure, but I don't see it. And at this point the draft is more interesting. At least the Flyers clinched today so I have a playoff team to root for somewhere.

Because, despite all the flak he got for his stint with the Lakers, MDA is actually a very good NBA coach and he sure as hell is in a completely different league than our idiot head coach.

the fact that Abrines is still getting PT in this game after his first two three point attempts of the game just goes to show how much of a trash ass coach Billy Donovan is at the NBA level

I hope you’re right I just want more assurance.
