    Dubs are really good but there is no way to tell if Kerr is a good enough coach to out coach The opposition in a 7 game series. Only time will tell, and if he is then I won't be surprised if they win it.

    Pops is still the best. Stotts is incredibly under rated and possibly second best. However I would field arguments for why 4 other candidates are better in this regard. All I know is that what we saw vs Houston last year was some genius coaching.

    Pops
    Stotts
    Rivers
    Kerr?
    Joerger
    Carlisle
    Brooks
    McFail

    Whiteside is putting up insane numbers:

    28 PER
    13.8 BLK% (he'd have the goat blk% if he can maintain this -- Hakeem/Mutombo never had a blk% greater than 8%)

    HGH is a hell of a drug.

    I put Budenholzer (sp?) of the Hawks in a tie for 1st with Stotts. Rivers way down the list. For me this season so far it's
    Stotts
    Budenholzer
    Kerr
    Carlisle
    Pops we all know is great but hasn't won consistently enough so far this season to be in the top 4
    I dropped Kerr to 3rd because he basically inherited a great playoff team. Portland and Atlanta have built systems from scratch

    I see no harm in this. The only downside would be players getting upset over PT. But I think Kaman would welcome it, and everyone on the team is in it to win it.

    Who do we cut for this 10-day contract?

    I don't think you have to cut anybody, but I'm not 100% sure.

    Actually after doing some googling it seems that 10-days might cost a roster spot. I never saw anything definitive, however there were multiple articles talking about roster spots opening up after a players 10-day expires. No where explicitly stated anything in relation to inactive players/injuries and 10-day contracts. I know you can't have more 10-day contracts than inactive players.

    I'll retract my previous statement should you need 14 players to be able to sign somebody to a 10-day. That is absolutely not worth it and I assume the team would only do so if they had a deal in the works, one which would fill that roster spot once the 10-day expires.

    To answer your original question - I still think Victor should be the first out the door. If for no other reason than the fact he was expressing displeasure with his playing time earlier in the season. Barton is a locker room guy, and Crabbe shows too much promise (imo).

    The NBA is going to need a really good surgeon to get Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson's collective penises removed from their throats.

    Whiteside with 16/16

    His production is mind-boggling! Out of nowhere and he's everybit as good as DeAndre Jordan.

    JaMychal Geen to me could indicate a move that would ship out Robinson.

    When we played the heat, someone was telling me that Whiteside was legit and I didn't believe them.

    The sample size is getting bigger, I'm close to eating the whiteside crow.

    Rose throwing up 2 terrible threes, and Gasol bails him out on both with offensive rebounds.
