    I don't give Westbrook props for that and neither should you. It's been analyzed as to HOW he gets 10 rebounds a game. It is NOT because of boxing out or working hard.

    It's all because he's intentionally NOT closing out and his teammates let him get those boards.

    Furthermore, Kobe, Jordan, pass? Yeah the fuck right.

    Philly players all look exhausted. Westbrook still looks like the Energizer Bunny.

    Am I weird for wanting VanGundy as our coach?

    Also, watching this Philly/OKC game it’s pretty clear the Blazers are high-talent deficient

    Qualifier: I don’t watch a ton of NBA outside Blazer games anymore

    Van Gundy is awesome. He would be my first choice if we had to replace Stotts. And we have talent too. We beat OKC.

    It just really pops off the screen when you only watch Blazers games and then watch something like this masterpiece

    And both teams are at .500. We're 15-13. If our players suck, we must have an awesome coach. Wait. Everyone hates him too.

    Bulls have won 5 straight. Against some decent competition too.

    3 OT's and the coaches only substituted when players fouled out. Every coach seem to use this philosophy and I hate it. Player running on fumes bricking shots while fresh players are sitting on the bench. I am not saying sub them all out...but there has to be a couple of players who can come in and spell a couple of players.

    Problem is, coaches don't know that the game is going into 3 OT during the first one. Same with 2nd OT. Always wanna have best players playing.

    Leave your stars in but maybe add some energy off the bench from other players?
