    Perfect. A guy shouldn't need to go HAVE to go to college to play professional basketball if he's talented enough.

    This feels like a bit of a try-hard.

    The league would be better off if the NBA had a rule more like the NFL. Players would have a chance to actually learn the game and teams would have a better chance to scout them.

    I'm sure the NFL player's union wishes it had the clout of its NBA counterpart. Guaranteed contracts on line 1...

    I don't know why I like to slam on Carmelo, but I definitely seem to like it:

    Rockets, game 1:
    Rockets with Carmelo in game: -20 in 27 minutes.
    Rockets with Carmelo not playing: +1 in 21 minutes.

    You could say this about multiple rockets players, but this was a trend from the preseason for Carmel0.

    funny you say that, he WAS my favorite player growing up and friends said we had the same game. I had no J, but just banged and rebounded. And my boss calls me the Charles Barkley of Blazers Broadcasting. Not sure that’s a compliment or not.

    Contract extension for Mike Malone:

    http://www.nba.com/article/2018/10/18/nuggets-extend-contract-coach-michael-malone

    Is Mike Malone considered a good coach? His career record as a head coach is 159-194 and he has never taken a team to the playoffs. On th eother hand, DEN has improved their record every year he's been there (33-49, 40-42 and 46-36).

    To me, he seems like a good offensive coach, but none of the teams he's coached have finished better than 23rd in defensive efficiency.
