    He just signed a SuperMax contract and the Hawks are garbage with an obviously injured Trae Young making ridiculous shots.

    Thanks, I forgot that. I still think they would play better if he handled the ball less.

    Gosh I’m torn. People should be able to vent privately on the phone. As long as she doesn’t say it publically, she shouldn’t be punished.

    Can’t believe someone still vent when getting Millions. If I’m getting that money, they can put me anywhere and not hear a thing.

    Got to say I never really got the appeal for Nichols. Don't hate her but don't like her either.
    At least Michele Beadle had some personality. Maria seems more knowledgeable than Nichols when it comes to basketball.

    That is an amazing pic. Speaks volumes. Hopefully NO is working as hard to improve the roster...

    Interesting how Hammon gets passed over for every single head coaching job.

    I was really skeptical when Calvin Natt made his post about Hammon. But everything that has happened since then sure made CN look like he had the real scoop

    Being a woman gets her in the conversation, being white keeps her from getting the nod. The stars aren't quite aligning for her.

    Congrats to Nate. Nothing special as a coach, but by all accounts a first class person.

    Apparently he dropped the whole bullshit Sarge routine. Good for him adapting
