    cuz he has a career .288 winning percentage as head coach in 226 games, while getting swept in the one playoff round he's coached? his BKN team lost every game in that series vs the Kawhi-less Raptors by an average of 21 pts.

    Do you remember who was ON that team? It was like when Doc Rivers got a Magic team led by Darrel Armstrong to the brink of the playoffs. They were supposed to be the worst team in the league!

    i know it's simplistic and without nuance, but i don't want a guy who is that accustomed to losing.

    3 seasons in Orlando averaging 19 wins a season. Come on.

    I think Billups will be final stage of hiring but Jody will axe it due to his history. I know he grown it was million years ago but that he still has that one bad thing that will hang over him.

    They paid off the accuser... not to speak ill of the dead but the same reason Kobe never got brought up on charges.

    You would think that once they had the evidence, it would be out of the accusers hands.

    I never understood this - feel free to talk as much shit about me after I'm dead as you like. But you have to wait till then.

    You have to have the accuser press charges otherwise there is no way to indict or convict a sex offender for nonconsensual sex acts. They just say that it was consensual and without the assaulted individual there is nothing to say otherwise. This is so common among rich and powerful people, it's surprising you didn't know about it.

    Rape is very VERY hard to prosecute (even harder back then), so it's in both sides' interest to settle. According to an acquaintance in law school, the only state that says "unless you can show consent it's rape" is New Jersey. Everywhere else, the burden is very much on the accuser. And sperm doesn't prove lack of consent on her part, and she hasn't got any other witnesses...

    Note the not-so-subtle trashing of the accuser by describing her as living in a messy apartment in a bad part of town...

    Why can’t Eric see this this post about Rasta having you on ignore so he can tell the HCP about it?

    Obviously any woman with a messy apartment was just asking for it.
