    Almost a certainy. Jody won't want to pay Billups for 2 years and Cronin won't want to fire his friend.

    And just as I was concerned in the summer of 2021, if we fire Billups with our current ownership and front office still in place, there is little reason for me to believe we're ready and able to identify and obtain a coach that would be a major difference maker. Plus, it won't matter unless we have a better roster.

    Billups hasn't lost the team. The team just looks completely lost. There's a big difference... right ??

    At least he's a better coach than Stotts. So we did have a positive there.

    ;)

    Here is a trick on the photos. Edit them just a bit. Take the photo and crop it down about 10-15% and they usually post for me.
    Another option is to post them elsewhere and copy and paste them here.

    I'd be afraid to type that and post it because someone might not know I was joking.

    The best play of the game was erased by the ref. Not sure what she thought she saw but the rebound dunk by
    Sharpe was a thing of beauty.

    My bet is she didn't have clear line of sight. If I could check I'd look to see if Shae's body was between her and the player Shae did not in fact foul. I've seen it so many times when refs could not possibly have seen what they called (even if they were accidentally correct). Refs assume too much.

    OTOH, If she were in position to make that call -- WTF?

    I'm only making this post, in this thread, because Chris Craig is too lazy to open the 76ers game thread. That's the thread where I really want to say nothing important next

    Anyone know who these guys sitting in front of me at the Celtics game were? Everyone kept coming up to the them and talking, including the players. The one on the left was rooting hard for the Blazers.

    I think the woman in front of me was some sort of celebrity too, but I didn't recognize her either.

    Wow nice seats Tince!

    Kinda serendipitous, that's Millyz, my high school friend just released a track with him.

    Thanks!

    How about the other guy? He asked Blake Griffin to be on his podcast, just minutes after ripping him for not having hops anymore.

    On my phone, I like to take a screen shot of a photo I want to use, and then post the screen shot. It's a much smaller picture that way.
