    Billups should hire Mark as an asst. Coach this team could use some toughness now granted will not happen cause he would want a HC job but he might have mad respect for Billups and take it to try and get a HC job since he seems to interview a lot and never even get close. I know some do not like him but I think he would be a huge get for this team specially with it rebuilding and all.

    Strong pass. There nothing I saw of his warriors stint I'd want to emulate. When they fire you and go from borderline playoff team to one of the best dynasties of all time...

    Fire Kendrick Perkins and ESPN collapses into a singularity of basketball perfection that would make Michael Jordan weep at its beauty.

    Hate the ESPN on ABC thing. But Mike Breen is very good and I think Doc/Doris is an upgrade so I'm fine with it.

    Doris Burke freaking sucks. She absolutely kills the live action by babbling about stupid garbage. A player can make an amazing top 10 play, and Doris won't even acknowledge something radical just happened, because her brain is locked into how smart she's trying to sound on television.

    She's a real mix she does what you say, and then combines it with really astute analysis at times. I'm a bit concerned about Doc Rivers though, and also with them cleaning house, how the fuck does Perk have a job?

    The mandatory daily religious crap that he led while the W's HC reportedly created real divides between teammates. Even if he promised not to pull that specific stuff again, to me that shows such a complete lack of perspective of how to lead a group diverse individuals I would never ever trust him. Hard pass

    Isn't there a story where he wanted to do a prayer session to heal Stephs injury issues or something?
