    No. I was just saying, "Hmmmm." Stotts I think is doing fine. But yes, I could see the Lakers going after Walton.

    I don't buy the argument that the Warriors have an overwhelming amount of talent. They're good but they only have one superstar who is arguably their only All Star. They do have lots of good players though. And I guess Dray and/or Klay could get an All Star spot this year but it's not a given.

    That's an offensive foul and I would've called it. You can't displace a defender like that.

    ... because they hold the record for most wins in a season? Hence, why I said they had to get lucky a couple of times probably.

    connecting things and such...

    I think it's ridiculously stupid that they're counting the end of last season in the Warriors win streak. The playoffs happened, the off season happened. It's totally different, and I think the players would agree. That being said, I hope they keep winning, this is fun to watch.

    What's the point of a ban? You can always come back a week later with a new user name

    Oh, he absolutely is just running Kerr's operation. However, I still think it speaks volumes about his ability that he's been able to keep the team so (historically) successful while Kerr is out. Sure, he has good players in a system that fits the players, but to be loss-less he's had to have done a masterful job at game prep and game management. That's more than could be said for Terry Stotts!

    So while I don't know if replacing Stotts with Walton would have an immediate effect on W/L, I do think we'd be a better team. He has a much better coaching pedigree than Stotts, so even though he's not responsible for the X/O of GSW's offense/defense I think he could easily put something together that's better than Stotts' extremely elementary system.

    Looks like we have parity between the conferences; the East is very slightly better so far.

    I disagree with the replacement part, but I do agree that his rotations have been great, and that's always been one of my knocks on Stotts.

    Hey man if I wanted to insult him I would have said he refs like Scott Foster. Joey Crawford is a great ref, he just doesn't take any shit and I bet neither does Dviss.

    I was just thinking of him. Remember how bitter he got whenever anyone suggested we get Greg Monroe? He took that as an insult to Aldridge. Right now at halftime Monroe is killing us.
