Bane has had a shitty year.  According to Sportstalk we haven't beaten a Western Conf playoff team since Jan 30.  We've beaten up on the shitty teams to make our record better than what our team is.

Epic/historic collapse by the Grizz last night. Didn't shock me that they lost but how they lost after having a ~30 pt lead.

He has slipped the last few months for sure.

Wells wouldn't have won this series, but not having him hasn't helped.

Edey is such a liability on the pick and roll they are running.

Tide turned after Ja was injured.

Hated seeing Ja go down like that. Lil Scottie should have taken the easy points.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Lakers season is over. It's impressive LeBron hasn't injured himself with as many times as he just throws himself to the floor.

Is Lebron retarded?  What is the Groupthink on that?

All I know is that he has certainly ended any talk about being the "GOAT"

Guys like Jordan wanted great coaching...LeBron hasn't really had a Phil Jackson to lean on. Is it fair to say that LeBron never really made any head coaches "stars"? If that's the case what does that say about him? I think I know the answer. However I'll also note that I agree for the vast majority coaching in the NBA is really pretty damn overrated. If coaching really meant something Greg Popovich would have more rings than any man alive.

I think the Miami coach may be the closest example but that was back when they had Bosh and Wade.

"I got fired for using free speech" yea imagine getting killed over it

To Spoelstra's credit he's been doing well without those three. Bron on the other hand hasn't won a title without having more all-stars around him. I'd have to put some thought into comparing his supporting cast vs. Pippen, Rodman, and whoever else on those Bulls squads.

Pop moving away from coaching but still in the Spurs organization. His brain should be uploaded to a politics-free digital basketball encyclopedia.

I agree that Spoelstra is a top-tier coach for what is left around the NBA. I wondered if he was just a puppet for Riley back when they had the Big 3 but he has proven his mettle in the years since.

I'm not getting into another Lebron vs Jordan debate on here, but the fact is simply that he does have a higher basketball IQ than anyone you can find on this planet to coach him. Same with Jokic. And that can be a problem for team chemistry.

I don't know much about Mitch Johnson other than he's been w/ Pop for years. San Antonio is a good job w/ lots of young talent. Wemby, Fox, Castle, Vassell, K. Johnson, and Sochan. CP3 is an old and I'm not sure if he's planning on sticking around another year but he started all 82 games this year and played well. They could stand to get rid of an aging Harrison Barnes and his stupid contract. And they have 2 lottery picks in a pretty deep draft this year. If Wemby and Fox stay healthy they will have a big bounce back in the years to come.

Yeah,  I didn't see that. I did see Dame Lilliard bust his Achilles which sucked to see. Did LeFlop actually get injured?
