    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, he did, after the Pacers lost to the Lakers in the 2000 Finals. That's a good point, I guess he's pretty committed and consistent to the principle that coaches shouldn't hang around too long.

    The theory is that the last month of the season until now he has been battling elbow bursitis.

    Lead the league in minutes didn't he? Coach deserves a little blame in that case.

    Yes, but he's our best player and we were determined to keep home court advantage (despite pissing it away twice already these playoffs). And although he's struggling....

    Haha that's comical. Some of those are laugh out loud funny.

    His teammates must hate his guts.

    he probably spent all night compiling arguments for each and every one of those plays to protect the beard.

    man would it make my day if that team just scorned everyone and traded harden after re-signing howard.

    I could swallow the Warriors.... but not the Spurs. I'm tired of the Spurs. They haven't been bad in 20 years.

    Holy fuck! Channing Frye had 27 points and 7 rebounds in a playoff game in less than 30 minutes! Nice pickup by Cleveland!

    That would be kind of funny. And it kind of makes sense: LMA and he were supposed to be teammates in Texas, after all.

    But does this mean Patty Mills is their future starter at PG? Or is that going to be Kawhi's job? Because Parker is breaking down fast.
