the mavs destroying a curry-less warriors...

Holy **** Butler. What a man.

 

[Anil]

does rose realize that it is butler's team now?

 

[nightprowler10]

Rose stans certainly don't.

In any case, we're not going anywhere without both of them performing well in the playoffs.

 

[Anil]

looks like the warriors are finally (almost) healthy again...

 

[nightprowler10]

Holy **** Butler. What a man.

This.

 

[Anil]

denver manages a win against golden state, yay!

 

[NUFAN]

DETROIT BASKETBALL. What a win against the Warriors who all of a sudden don't seem invincible at all.

7 more to go.

Am I the only one who has noticed that San Antonio have been sneaking up on Golden start and are givuing up less than 90 points a game on defense. I want what Pop is smoking

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yep, you're the only one who noticed.

yeah but they have played a lot more home games until now, let's see if the picture still looks the same once that evens out a little, in any case they are the best two teams in the nba by far, there is a lot of daylight between them and the other good teams like the cavs, the thunder and the clippers...

So Blatt's gone. What do we think of Woj's accusations that Lebron poisoned the well?

Duh?

 

[duffer]

Really? Haven't followed Cleveland at all this season. Cavs fans meltdown on realgm is pretty funny though.

Woj has always made point to go after Lebron, in his writing. So there is that. Still, it shows how much ego management is important to NBA coaching. Where else do you get sacked for taking your team to a finals and being top of the conference at the halfway point of the next season?

 

[Anil]

I don't think much of blatt as a coach and the Cavs will be fine without him but it was still an odd timing for the firing...regardless of what the GM says, I can't think how they could have come to this decision without Lebron's approval...

Pretty much the reason I asked the question. Woj is probably the king of itk's but has a irrational hard-on for Lebron which makes me skeptical.

 

[nightprowler10]

OTOH you've got Windhorst saying LeBron knew nothing but he's known to be a huge Le-Brony.
