the year after they drafted westbrook, in durants second year, the thunder started the season 3-29, shoulda fired presti then
I didn't know who Cho was 4 years ago. The Sonics were an afterthought, too. They got lucky that they got the #2 pick in the 2007 draft, and Sam Presti is a genius because of it. Those are the breaks. I don't recall Presti ever having the worst all-time percentage in NBA history, either. Your Mediocre Man anecdote is kind of random, as well, IMO. Anyhow, I do like the new level of interesting you're bringing, and hope you continue to speak your mind! Can I add that this is an NBA thread, and I haven't brought up Cho in months in any other thread, other than to say perhaps he knew what he was doing before he got fired?
What does that even mean? Eddie Haskell pretends to be a nice guy but is really an asshole. Look in a mirror?
You know, it's funny--What did he really do with Allen and Lewis? Lewis was leaving regardless, because only Orlando was stupid enough to sign him to that ridiculous contract. What did he get in the sign & trade--a second round pick? Wow. And Allen--he swapped him to Boston for a #5 pick that became Jeff Green, who he then traded back to Boston a few years later for Kendrick Perkins. Impressive. (?)
Patty's defense held Steve Nash to 17 minutes in the whole game! http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=320425021
Shooting contest between Mills and Telfair. Telfair's a better shooter now? http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/playbyplay?gameId=320425021&period=4
Meanwhile, the Warriors are trying to lose their last game. They could lose their draft pick entirely if they aren't bad enough.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest NBA player ever, is poised to become the owner of the worst team in league history. His embarrassingly bad Charlotte Bobcats have one last shot to avoid the title. Heading into Thursday night's regular-season finale, the Bobcats are teetering on the verge of the worst winning percentage (.106) ever and could clinch the dubious distinction with a loss at home to the New York Knicks in the lockout-shortened season. Charlotte is a woeful 7-58 and its record-setting futility would eclipse the 39-year-old mark held by the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers. That team finished 9-73 (.110) in a full regular season. Jordan led Chicago to six NBA championships, but his Bobcats get no respect — Charlotte has become the butt of jokes "It has been tough, but we are just trying to move forward," guard D.J. Augustin said. "Many people are laughing at us and making (the streak) as a joke, but we take it very seriously. We are just trying to stay positive and play hard until the end."

I watched that game and Patty can't run a team to save his life! He's a gunner. Plays with blinders on.
