People always saying he's underrated... 22mins, 0/7. Another choke job. Outscored 41-0 by Brunson

That Rubio-Conley trade never delivered for the Jizz what they thought it would. He wasn't the upgrade they expected.

No heart for this team. When you sign a guy like Whiteside you know you're going to get paint points & rebounds but it's going to affect team morale. Losing Ingles the back-breaker for this team. Traded away their heart & soul.

Yeah surprised how ineffective they were. Jazz clearly had the better talent but all game the mavs were shooting wide open 3s. 22 for 47 from 3 that was no accident
The mavs had nobody who could guard gobert but he missed a lot of cherries. He was too impatient and forced the issue

You can't play defense anymore
Back in the day you could use the forearm. Now if youre on offense you can use the forearm and push your way into an open shot.
Also seems to me they are calling a lot of flops this postseason
Still better than 30 years ago when a lot of games were rigged

Nba does it for ratings. Good reason you see 235 point totals. Back in the day it was rare to have a total over 200. I remember the czar of the telestrator coached a hawks team based on defense. Imagine that
I heard a senior tell me he doesn't watch it anymore because there is no more strategy just pop a shot

You see a guy like yokic and denver getting killed as the warriors hit 3s. Dominating defensive centers like gobert don't matter as much now

It's a different game

He coached a Cavs team that purposely ran down the clock for the sole purpose of reducing possession thereby increasing the chance his shitty team would win! NBA only cares about points & stats these days. NBA entertainment... they want the fan to get what he/ she thinks they;re paying for, like some McDonalds meal.

Watching the Nuggets just now... take away Jokic and what a bunch of bozos. Barton/ Gordon/ Jam.Green/ Jeff.Green. Not hard to make these guys look stupid. Nuggets made a big mistake trading for Gordon... bum!

Yeah it works. Give silver credit. It's a lot more immature and digestible than ever. The guy helped put gambling on the map too.
That cavs team was hilarious. Of course the coach couldn't last
I was around ehen they had no shot clock or 3 point line. I remember with carolina up 5 with 5 minutes left, will dean smith go to the 4 corners lol
I remember jordan joining the bulls talked about going into a hotel room with sex and drugs, and rejecting it. The days of john lucas and the 70s nba lol

Jam.Green had a good playoff series vs the Nuggets when he was with the Clippers. Common mistake in the NBA to sign someone that plays well vs your team. Of course it doesn't mean they will play well for your team - not at all - but it happens a lot.

True story..
Been around a long time. Most managers are idiots. But great a ss kissers and bs artists. The occasional competent guy that gets thru can be very successful.
