DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's an NCAA story, but Patrick Ewing finally landed a head coaching job. There's been some interesting writing on how people assume centers are dumb, so it'll be interesting to see how this works out for Patrick. Â Patrick's been an assistant NBA coach for the better part of 15 years, so I'm sure he knows what a head coach should do during games. The problem for him is that NCAA coaches are expected to recruit and develop one-and-dones. I don't see how that prepares him for an NBA job; either way, I'm rooting for him. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not one-&-done guys unless you are Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, UCLA and maybe three others. You can get to the second week of the tournament w/o them. Roy hasn't had one since Brendan Wright in '07, yet has one a chip, lost one last year and goes for one tonight. Â If you haven't read up on the longtime issues between Big John Thompson and former DeMantha coach, Morgan Wooten, do so as it plays a major role in the Hoyas local recruiting struggles in the last 15 years.

Unocal Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I really think the Cavs are heading for a 2004/2011 Lakers type scenario where the wheels fall off despite everyone giving them benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only team with the core to knock them off in 6/7 IMO is Toronto, but that's if Lowry comes back healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That or the 2001 Lakers. Just kidding. LeBron is still the ECF favorite until he loses it. Â But really, the Warriors have turned the entire league into the Washington Generals. There's the slight chance that Durant messes up their recent chemistry, but I doubt it. Golden State has lapped the field recently, and while Houston and San Antonio look good against everyone else, they both suck against Golden State. Â Anything can happen in the playoffs, but I don't see how the Warriors can lose. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're playing with that chemistry and swagger we saw much of last year, and are entering the playoffs, arguably, on a higher note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Cavs are dropping the hammer away on the Celtics. Â Lakers are :censored:ing up by leading the Spurs in San Antonio. Â EDIT: Nevermind! LA was up 12 at the half. Down to a 2-point lead midway through the third. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lakers definitely didn't want to win this game. They now have the third worst record (23-55) and have one more win and two fewer losses than Phoenix (22-57). Â Phoenix's remaining games: OKC (loss) Dallas (loss) @ Sacramento (toss-up) Â Projected record: 23-59 Â LA: Sacramento (toss-up) Minnesota (toss-up) New Orleans (both teams looking to lose) @ GSW (toss-up; GS will be resting) Â Projected record: 25-57 Â I had no idea Phoenix was on a 0-13 losing streak. They're closing out the season on a HARD tank. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm probably the only man on the CAVS NOT GONNA MAKE FINALS island, but.... I'm not wavering. Â Are we at the point where people just act is if LeBron is always in the Finals or do we have to see the Cavs lose a series? Â Because I am still not buying the Cavs. Â I don't buy into the ALL THEY NEED IS LEBRON Â Well, Love/Kyrie still suck on defense. JR Smith when he doesn't hit threes is useless. Â And Tyronn Lue is the modern day Barry Switzer- a guy with a ring in spite of not being a good coach. Â If the freaking UConn women can lose..... so can LeBron. Â He's not immortal. He's not invincible. Â It's gonna happen. The Eastern Conference is not always gonna be The Team With LeBron. Â I still think the Cavs can be had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The Cavs have been coasting since the All-Star break. LeBron, more than anyone, knows how to keep gas in the tank. Â And, yeah, obviously he gets the benefit of the doubt. That's what happens when you make six straight Finals. Â I recommend you start yelling your bad sports opinions at inopportune moments out in public; there's a market for that. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
