    Wasn't that the job that was supposedly going to Wes Unseld Jr? "Why have this exciting young black coach when we could have this average retread older white guy?"

    Donovan should definitely give a big cut of his contract to Chris Paul, because before he arrived nobody would have thought about hiring Donovan.

    LeBron can't guard anymore. Jerami Grant went right past him.

    Maybe the Lakers will get lucky and trade LeBron for Grant this offseason.

    Probably not. But that doesn't change the fact that LeBron can't guard. He can do lots of other things though at a high level

    I'm recording the game and am going to watch later tonight. Do you want me to take the time to post whenever LeBron has a quality defensive possession? I can think of a few defensive plays of his that factored the outcome of an NBA Finals game. To say he "can't guard" is ridiculous.

    In a list of "NBA's Most Punchable Faces," Michael Porter Jr. is rising swiftly.

    Of course, he'll struggle to get past Dwight Howard.

    It wasn't really fair of Toronto to keep Danny Green's talent when they let him go as a free agent.

    There's a lid on the basket for the Lakers. But if I was the Nuggets I'd feel nervous - they're getting layups, they're just not making them. Yet.
