No we all know what he wanted, percentage of the franchise, he got 10% in Miami. He wanted the brinks trucks and wanted to to run everything... but then he sent a fax and bolted for Greece. There's a reason as to why he still isn't welcomed back here despite being part of the golden years for us.

Nice balanced team effort. Six scorers in double figures. Thompson and Gordon both registering double-doubles. A +17 rebounding edge against a team with the two top free agent bigs in Sabonis and Aldrige. Let Wall do some damage but overall, very happy with my guys.

A lot of teams in the East have improved this offseason. I feel my team is better than the one that finished last year and much, much better than the one that was in place at the start of last year. Will it be enough? Last year, there was a 3-way tie for the final seed. Just might happen again this year.

I’ve already received rotations from Cap and Ribs for what I believe will be the BAF Bubble’s most competitive game yet, as the Hawks and Clippers prepare to battle it out. Just over a week ago, the scrimmage of this game came down to the final shot. I’m expecting another great game in this matchup of Curry vs. Kyrie. Don’t miss it! Tomorrow night @ 9pm.

Congrats to the Orlando Magic...convincing win over the second free agent team.
They move on to play New Orleans in the next round.
Pushes the Eastern Conference to 6-4 in the tourney. Gotta say, 2K has been a huge disappointment to this point...hope we get some watchable games moving forward!

We definitely would've been better off, but for how long? Dude couldn't get the job done on his own in Miami, stepped down and hired Stan Van Gundy. Van Gundy coached the team for two years and then during season stepped down to "spend time" with his family and Riley courageously stepped up to right the ship.
Whose to say what would've happen in the ten years after he left us. We would've been better no doubt, but he's the type that if you give an inch, he's gonna try and take the whole damn mile. Knicks probably would've been the same right up until Van Gundy stepped down in 01/02.
The better question is how much better would we have been if new James Dolan let Checketts just do his damn job? Dolan is the root of all evil and it's clear when it all went down hill. Checketts allegedly wanted to do right by Ewing by sending him somewhere he wanted to go and Dolan wanted to run the show. The rest is history...
Point is, James Dolan and Riley never would've coexisted.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.
