Donovan steps down in Chicago.

Wonder if he's been talking to some AD's?

Did Carolina already hire a coach?

Yeah, Mike malone, former nuggets coach that has never coached college.

Oh neat...so Donovan is probably positioning himself for the Kentucky job but that may just be boomer thinking. As long as you have money backing you can legit have a team at bumfuck state and be nationally competitive within a recruiting cycle. I'm kind of surprised some billionaire hasn't bought himself a team in some odd off brand situation and really did some damage. Like a tech giant ceo buying a team full of studs for Santa Clara for example.

Kentucky was my first thought, but I have no idea what popes contract length and buyout are. Do they have enough to pay stoops, pope, Donovan and a roster of basketball and football players?

Nuggets are cooked. Last year was their shot.

[vegashog]

spurs down by 19 at one point, win by 21.

first game in playoff history a team has trailed by 15+ and ended up winning by 15+.

As far as Vegas, there were rumors maybe 15 years ago, when the Maloof family still owned the Kings, that they were going to try to move the franchise from Sacramento to Vegas. They also owned the Palms at the time. It never materialized and they sold the franchise.

As far as Fox, I am glad he got outta there. Probably my favorite current NBA player and that place is basketball purgatory. He has kept them competitive for years but no A-list NBA players are making Sacramento their destination in free agency. San Antonio has always been a well-run franchise and if him and Wemby can entice one good 3 & D to come on down they might have something.


Back to Vegas, I think eventually the NBA gives them an expansion franchise. They should add one in Seattle too and make it an even 32-team league. Move Memphis to the Eastern Conference.

SAS looking strong. I am here for all of that inevitable Thunder 7-game series.

Don't look now, but they have shown some life and if they win the next one...I suspect 100ft's incoming for a certain player

People complain about Lebron, but the guy you're talking about is the whiniest bitch in NBA history.

Why college is better than the NBA.

Cleveland on a 10-1 run to cut it to a 3 point deficit. Everyone is seated, no cheering, no crowd noise at all.

Same situation, Bud Walton, it would be rocking and so loud you couldn't talk to your date.

At halftime:

Knicks - 83
Hawks - 36

In Atlanta. TF?

[Doc Hogaday]

I hadn't bet on any 1st round games til I saw the Knicks ML -125 yesterday and took it.

But I definitely didn't expect this.

This is just brutal.

It won't end up as bad as it could be bc they're resting their starters now, but good lort.

[Doc Hogaday]

Still a 53 point lead after 3 quarters after playing scrubs.

I thought Chuck was going to be hilarious at halftime but I think he took it easy bc he felt so bad for the Hawks.
