    Seems like the Nets can't get a few stops together. Sucks to see them go down 2-1, but I hope they bounce back. They've been a nice story.

    Plus, Pop would coach circles against Stotts.

    Spurs come from 8 points down to take a 3 point lead at halftime. Derrick White is going off with 26 points at halftime.

    I think I would still rather have HCA. The Nuggest game the Blazers all they could handle in Portland with 3 starters sitting out. I think LaMarsha would shrink in Portland.

    Simmons looks so much better without Embiid.

    Not really..look, I'm not a Stotts honk, I could take him or leave him, but Damian is pretty fond of him so that's good enough for me.
    But...who doesn't Pop coach circles around? Steve Kerr and his band of hall of famers?..No..Stotts does as well as any of his peers.

    I'd take Budenholzer (Pop mentored) as well.

    Coaches get too much credit and too much blame. It's all about talent.
    Remember people talking about how Luke Walton was the next best thing? Shit, 1/2 of you potato heads could coach the Warriors to the finals.

    It is about talent in a lot of ways but no we couldnt. That team would implode on us so fast. Big part of NBA coaching is managing personalities / ego, none of us would have the respect of the big personalities and ego’s in GS.

    Ok you’re right, Mrs HCP might have a chance.
    Edit: Certainly would have an open door policy.

    Wow, KD with 6 points but 2 quick fouls only 2 minutes in and Kerr leaves him IN THE GAME!

    Because he knows he won't get a 3rd foul called on him, as evidenced by that non call on him just now.
