    ESPN is reporting that the Timberwolves plan to interview Mark Jackson for their head coaching vacancy. I guess we can stop worrying about that dizzying collection of young talent! If he can make the Warriors mediocre, just think what he can do to that clusterfuck of a franchise.

    Marketers care hugely about that sort of thing.

    Raymond Felton actually gets the post game interview...that's gotta be a first! He played a great game putting that Mavs team on his shoulders....gotta eat some Felton crow because I really love to bash the guy

    Go ahead and eat that crow. After Felton gets done with the post-game buffet, there is nothing else left!

    Must have signed a new endorsement deal for Krispy Kreme... I've never seen him motivated before. Probably never will again.

    Good for him. Give him a fighting chance with that roster! Smart move.

    Don't worry too much. Felton crow tastes like a cross between chicken and donuts (and I said chicken because a crow is a bird, not because Felton is black).

    They thought he did make it; both were angry they weren't the one shooting, even though it was a rebound from them both shooting.

    How long did it take LA to get the NFL back, 30 years? So we can expect Seattle to get a team after maybe 60 years. Just 52 years left, can't wait!

    So awesome. Storybook ending just like Kobes last game. I couldn't write it any better. They try to trade away a player for a pick, other team backs out. They get stuck in luxury tax. They make playoffs as the 8th seed losing their pick. Fans hate the team. Teammates hate Dwight. Harden hates Dwight. Dwight hates Harden. Teammates hate Harden. The front office has lost respect and won't get free agents. Their "superstar" is being exposed as the fraud he is who is more of an illusion than Melo.

    Perfect year to be a Rockets hater.

    The league could definitely handle expansion. There's lottery teams every year with respectable lineups. The Wizards, Bulls, Jazz. Their better than playoff teams of 25 years ago.

    clutchfans is an amazing read.

    There's also someone that says "You have to swing for the fences" .... Well, if you do, most of the time you end up like Houston. Or Brooklyn.

    I hate the swing for the fences approach. In baseball, they tell you to not do that, because you'll overextend yourself and hurt yourself in the process.

    Case in point: The clusterfucks in Brooklyn and Houston. SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH from afar, though!

    The answer lies somewhere in the middle, but with a lot of luck you can win by letting the cake bake(san antonio), swinging for the fences(boston celtics, miami heat) or a mixture of both(detroit pistons, golden state warriors)
