Re: Around the NBA 11
Kemba has a real shot at a title this year if he can get healthy. The Celtics certainly aren't the favorite, but they have a chance.
Tatum has taken a pretty big leap and the only team in the East that exploits their lack of size (Philly) is imploding.
I'm still expecting LA vs Milwaukee finals, but Boston probably has the 2nd best odds of winning the East.

You don't post here much any more? Seems like you left when Walker did?

Re: Around the NBA 11
I'm a little disappointed that Borrego has done well enough to ensure job security through next season at the minimum, because I really really want to go after Kenny Atkinson. What he's done with Brooklyn is impressive and I think his firing has to do with the vets on the roster (namely Kyrie and DeAndre) rather than his coaching ability.

Re: Around the NBA 11
I really dislike players who dictate who is going to coach them. Even if they are superstars, not that I would put Kyrie "Flat Earth" Irving in that class. If they want a new coach, they can do it themselves. Dave DeBusschere did it at age 24.

Re: Around the NBA 11
If Durant doesn’t come back looking great that trade could hurt them. They were a good, young, up n coming team.

Kyrie is one of this generation's most overrated players.

I wonder if they'd have a shot at signing Malik Beasley? I don't think it will matter much, but this arrest situation might depress the market for him.

Wasn't there someone on this board that wanted the Hornets to go after Montrezl Harrell?

I wouldn't be too into that. Hes a pretty good player, but he'll probably end up getting paid more than hes worth and hes kind of annoying dude.

Re: Around the NBA 11
If we draft Wiseman, we can fill out the front court with much less expensive players. I'd love for us to get Montrezl, plus he has the type of personality this team could use but he probably doesn't fit well right now as he's more of a complimentary piece to support a team vying for playoff success rather than a centerpiece of the roster which is what he'd be if he signed here now.

As a fan of the Wolves I'm becoming more concerned with this the more I find out. He walked up to a car parked in front of his house and pulled a gun on the people telling them to move along. Later when police showed up in connection to a complaint regarding this he was reported to be yelling at the police. Those are far more concerning than the marijuana charges and possession of a stolen firearm that I heard at first.
I wonder if BLM will try to make a martyr out of him.

I think Doc Rivers and Sixers are bad fit.

Re: Around the NBA 11
Clippers lost too many series they had a lead in, screams lack of adjustment. So I’m not fussed with Doc, I guess they got him to influence the egos of there stars.
They’re a bit of a mess at the moment.
Dr J is the Doctor in philly, maybe rivers should change his name . Nurse Rivers or sumthing
