    It's going to be Mike D'Antoni. The Blazers don't have time to experiment with a rookie coach.

    Dame will definitely endorse Becky, Billups, Staley, and D’Antoni. Dunno about Barry.

    I wonder what the draw of Barry is to get him to this stage of interviews. Not saying he’s not worthy, but at least Billups has some connections within the organization. Is it just because he’s a spurs guy? If so why isn’t Udoka a candidate?

    Not saying it's how I feel about it, but maybe ability to coach is more important than connection to the franchise

    Nick Nurse and Erik Spoelstra didn't have HC experience before stepping into their current roles. Same thing with Pop in San Antonio. A coach has to start somewhere.

    She was great and I was all of 12 years old when she was on the air. I’ve always been a sports nerd though. It was her and Farrell on the Bench that were my go to’s. Now it’s Rome and CIP
