Game Thread GAME# 16: BLAZERS @ BUCKS - NOVEMBER 21, 2019 - THURSDAY, 5:00 PM, TNT & NBCSNW

so do I, but I have 2 ex-wives so it makes sense

 

Go look at quotes from NBA coaches in the past couple decades. When they say, "focus on rebounds, defense and hustle" they are saying, don't worry about the offensive end of the floor and worry about these aspects of the game.

When did I say any coaching staff didn't know how to use him properly? I'm saying the same things they told Skal in training camp is what they told Thomas Robinson. Except that Skal is much more talented than Thomas Robinson. Whether Thomas was good or not isn't the point of the discussion. It's what the coaching staff told him to do that they are now telling Skal. Skal is more talented. That's why it doesn't fit.

 

I've been around of basketball. When the coach emphasizes a single player to "rebound, play defense and hustle" it means don't look for your offense and do these things to make you and the team successful. You can bet Stotts isn't saying that to CJ or Dame. And if he is, he isn't very successful at getting them to do so.

Even comedy can teach something. You're welcome.

 

I'd add the Lakers to the Clippers. There is NO WAY the league is allowing the large market Lakers with LeBron and AD (if healthy) to lost to Portland. Just wait for how the whistles would go in that series if it happened. I'd be putting a large wager on that one.

 

I like how I get called out for “conjecture” when saying that Dame has significant influence in our roster transaction decisions, but “tHe LeAgUe iS rIGged” is considered a respectable opinion here.

 

.

It's a business. They're in it to make money. Hell yeah it's rigged, to a degree.

Don't believe me? Ask Tim Donaghy his opinion.

 

I don't buy those conspiracy theories at all.
