Sloan would have been great, but it seems like as soon as Nash got to town it was Steve+Howard+pick n roll= WIN.

Well john + malone + pick n roll = crushing defeats

I really wish they had hired Sloan. I would have loved to see him go for a ring one more time. He would have gave it his all, and I think the Lakers team would have listened to him, including Kobe.

Dwight getting along with Sloan lulz

I honestly don't think Dwight is even coachable anymore. He seems to just want to have "fun."

 

[ratcliffja]

I wish the Clippers would have hired Sloan, but there's no way that's happening now.

 

[jobber]

Spurs should tank tonight

They have the best record in the league and besides...it's Orlando


Tomorrow night is the true test. After what happened last season and again in the preseason, it's no way Popcorn isn't trying to make a statement.

The Spurs weren't in the Finals last season.

Yeah I am already sick of his smiling and shit. I want him to show some other emotion. Jesus.
He gets stripped 7-10 times a game. Smiles.

3 hours before the game

Sitting there talking to reporters, while Kobe walks by
Dwight says "Where you going"
Kobe replies "to work."

Kobe please help Dwight.

 

[Blackace]

Spurs should tank tonight

Great plan

 

[jobber]

The Spurs weren't in the Finals last season.

Spurs played at Miami last season and was up huge. Heat went from being down 15 to up 25 in the 4th. Quality choking.

Great plan

Orlando is bottom tier. Need to rest up for tomorrow unless it's a blow out from the tip.

 

[shira]

MJ should have been kicked out of that golf course. Really?

Holy shit, now that would have been perfect.

I really wonder just how good he could be, if he just sought to be more dominate.

Could you imagine Dwight getting chewed out by Sloan the same way he chewed out Greg Ostertag?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Who are the Lakers going to hire after they fire D'Antoni? Phil still ain't walking through that door. PEACE.

the return of da king. welcome back. peace...

 

[reilo]

10 minutes before tip-off...

 

[mhi]

Spurs should tank tonight

Spurs fan, whats goin on with Manu ?

Also Dwight plays hard, listens and is very 'coachable; all this bad rep is basically extrapolations by the media from the 'Dwightmare' saga.

You don't spend 6+ yrs playing as a decoy despite being the best player on the team without being 'coachable'.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Rubio was cleared to return to practice today! Hopefully his injury is healing well and he's able to recover and be ready for games so he can take over for our terrible PG's soon. We need his defense badly, so hopefully he hasn't lost too much of that skill. Also, I'm looking forward to seeing his shot which I'm thinking should be at least somewhat improved considering he was limited to only taking standing shots for months while he was going through rehab.

 

[giri]

Hes such a dick ref, after he dances across the court, he looks back to T up anyone who says anything.

I can not believe that shit is tolerated. I hope someone called him to say something from the office, instead, Im sure he got a bonus for screwing the Lakers.

lol. Woe is the laker stan.

 

[Blackace]

Orlando is bottom tier. Need to rest up for tomorrow unless it's a blow out from the tip.

All regular season count the same
But if you think the 4 time championship core needs to see if they can pass a regular season "test" who am to say that's retarded?

Tank tonight and maybe lose the next

Let's purposely start losing streak

 

[giri]

Also, sloan would be terrible on the lakers.

Would be good on the clippers (talent that is desperately crying out for accountability and planning).

Probably better on the Kings (talent that is desperately crying out for a system).

 

[theignoramus]

just from 3 minutes watching this Spurs/Magic game, I dont understand how a unproffessional asshole like Sean elliot can keep his job. homerism is nothing new, but hes disparaging of the other teams players. he makes Lawler over in clipperland seem fair and neutral by comparison. what a prick.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It's never going to be the 90s again Mike. Let it go.

You should hear the Jazz guys.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Bargnani is out tonight. Memphis has no chance. I'm calling a win right now.

Portland gives up 102PPG... which is 30th in the league. Amazing.

20 year pop culture circle. That shit is coming back. Besides, cargos were useful.

 

[theignoramus]

nah, Ive listened to Matt Harpring. hes a hard ass on everyone, especially Jazz players.

 

[Mothman91]

We aren't going to get 70 tonight the way it looks already.

 

[Flash]

Argos win, Ford removed from office, and now Bargnani sitting out. What a fantastic week for Torontonians.

Being a prick is not

If mike couldn't bring back hoop earrings he's not bringing back extra baggy cargo pants.

They got wind surfing to do up in DC

 

[linsivvi]

milsap to knicks and Amare to utah.

 

[Mothman91]

No timetable for return.

I feel like the season is already ruined for me this early on in the season. Wall's and Nene's injury really fucked us over, and I know it's too late to do any recovering from this ditch we dug our way into.

 

[victreeb3l]

kidd is out again tonight. hopefully no feltdowns tonight

rockets X okc is gonna be great. i have a feeling harden is gonna score like 50 points tonight

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I'm telling you, hoop earrings, cargo pants, no bacon neck and a Hitler moustache will be the hipster uniform of 2015. Michael's ahead of his time by being behind it.

Raptors blogger Scott Carefoot quits, says team has ‘sapped my will’

“I’m not saying I’m completely boycotting the Raptors, what I’ll do is pay attention to the score, and if it looks like it’s a close game in the fourth quarter, and I’m near at TV, I’ll turn it on, but I’m not going to invest all the time I’ve spent watching an entire game and writing about it any more. Because they don’t deserve it, and they don’t deserve it from fans any more.”

I'd say this is where I am about right now. I was an invested fan at one point but as soon as Colangelo and Bargnani came along and began to ruin each season without any repercussion, it just became harder and harder to watch. The fact that Bosh was traded and Bargnani was pretty much crowned as the franchise player really shows you what a joke this organization really is.

feltdown incoming, jajaja

 

[Blackace]

Bosh was leaving via free agency and a sign and trade happened

The fact that they didnt get Beasely is comical

 

[Red Blaster]

TRoss, Lowroid and Valanciunas are good starting points for the Raptors but yeah Bargnani needs to go back to his home planet now

 

[snack]

I feel guilty for dropping Derrick Rose in my fantasy. He was my good luck charm even though my team is the worst of all time.

im not so sure about that. Sefolosha aint no bitch out there.

Crybaby. Try having one playoff team in 18 years.

I'm pretty sure teams had already realized that Beasley sucked and didn't want him. He had like 2 years, $14 million left on his deal and Kahn was the only GM in the league who was willing to trade a second round pick for him.

Beas would have been the best player on the raps
