When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

He's not long for that team

Probably not. Doc is having a pretty good year as a coach but I'm not sure he should WANT to stay with the Clippers going in another direction.

Wolves need to come up with something if they're not gonna start hucking more 3s. Maybe a sense of urgency from their starting point guard? I'm still confident that we're gonna get more outta Teague when the playoffs hit, but my blood pressure can't take it till then.

Wow a Kevin Love injury. The Heat really only have to play .500 ball for here on out to get a top 3 seed.

Yeah, the roster isn't particularly good. There's no one you want to give the ball to to score in crunch time, yet the Heat are one of the best clutch teams in the league. It's really bizarre. Spo just knows how to maximize the talent he has at his disposal.

Basically, he's undertaken the same philosophy as Dantoni: make the team take as many 3's as possible. His problem is outside of Goran, Olynyk, and Ellington, he doesn't have 3pt shooters.

He played almost every minute so it's basically just the point differential of the game. Actually it's exactly the same

A starting lineup of Drummond, Anthony Tolliver, Stanley Johnson, Reggie Bullock and Ish Smith. Stanley had 26 and 10.

I read many of these odd ESPN trade scenarios (none of which actually help the team).

Niwrad posted:

As for Cousins, I think the issue was that he had played a lot recently. He was averaging about 40 minutes a night over the past month and had played 52 just a few days earlier.

Yes, the 40/20/10 game may have been detrimental. He put up a line that was rare even in the 1960s when players had a boatload of rebounds to grab each game.
