    Against bigger teams play Kanter. Against small ball/more athletic bigs, play Giles. Why is this so hard for Stotts to get

    So we can see that the team is capable of great ball movement. Now we just need to do it more often.

    Gus Johnson would've been fun next to Lamar.

    Ok so yeah this season is going to be incredibly odd, blow outs are going to be all over the place. I guess the NBA choose quantity of quality for the $$$.

    I liked Calabro. He was objectively good at his job. I can see why some would dislike him though.

    Kent is just bad. He’s not suited for this position.

    You are old! Now that it's only 2 GS all-stars vs Portland's 1, he's totally forgot how to coach.

    The second game of the mini series is always interesting. so far, all the mini series I’ve seen so far have been splits. So beating the Warriors twice in a row would be huge IMO.

    How come when Portland had Harkless, Aminu, and Nurk as non-3pt threats you didn't think that was a valid reason?

    I don’t like either. Kent is boring as hell. Calabro constantly made errors and is not enough of a homer for me.

    Yeah I liked the objectivity of calabro.

    Plus I do have a soft spot having met and talked with him at length about sports and life. So perhaps a little bias in there.

    Is the home team winning the second game usually? The road team players are stuck in their hotel rooms the entire time they are not doing team functions. I'm sure that makes things different. Maybe good, maybe bad.
