2015-2016 NBA SEASON: THE FAREWELL TOUR

[Vaspinne]

David Blatt just got fired. Apparently having an 83-40 record and the 1st place team in the East just doesn't cut it anymore

Edit:

Cleveland has fired coach David Blatt, sources tell Yahoo.

oh shit. and it's waaaaaay more nuanced than good record=first place=keep job

Tyronn Lue has already signed a multiyear deal to take over

[Vaspinne]

There's been rumors of him and Lebron not clicking pretty much since Lebron came back, wasn't there? Not to mention all the "Assistant Head coach to Lebron" stuff lol

IDF don't mix with black people. BDS claims another victim.

pretty much. going to be impossible to coach LeBron and the rest of the team if you don't have LeBron's respect/buy-in

[Andalusian girls]

dang. Blatt was a p good x's and o's coach but he never did seem to get Bron to buy in entirely or win the respect and loyalty of the players

LeBron James was informed of the decision to fire David Blatt today, he was not consulted on decision sources said

...riiiiiiiight lol

Tyronn Lue is the new AS head coach, Luke Walton's good work is coming to and end as Kerr is getting close to being back on the court, and Mike Brown, who?

Here's a great article written by Dave Zirin last year, about the drastically different legacies that David Blatt and Steve Kerr carry.

It was over for Blatt when LeBron was subbing players when they played the Warriors.

Read this before I went to work today, really interesting read! I appreciate you posting it

Also;

Curry hits 3-pointer #200 on the year... from half-court beating the buzzer.

[Skai]

He hit one before that too at the end of the first quarter, but it was after the buzzer.

Also, food for thought:

    Player         3PM  Season
 1. Stephen Curry  286  14-15
 2. Stephen Curry  272  12-13
 3. Ray Allen      269  05-06
 4. Dennis Scott   267  95-96
 5. Stephen Curry  261  13-14
 9. Klay Thompson  239  14-15
37. Stephen Curry  204  15-16 (active, 45.1%, 44 games in, 38 games to go)

I somehow missed the news that Charlotte's Stephanie Ready is the first full-time female NBA commentator? She's awesome, I want her to be on primetime games next year as bad as I did for Doris Burke.

[Siccmade]

Kings on a 5 game win streak with Big Cuz and Rondo running serious game. Boogie with 48 in a win over the Pacers, The West is thick but we're fighting our way in.

Also, Curry is just plain silly. I was at the sushi spot watching that game, the whole place was just oooohs and awwwws, hella funny. I turned in my keys so I'm no longer an Oakland resident but SAC is Golden State for real.

Maybe we can maintain and squeeze past the 8th seed, I think my head would explode in a Dubs vs. Kings series but it would be hella fun...

^insane

My body is ready to totally over react to whoever wins tonight. Season ends tonight and just hand the trophy to the winner

yeahhhhh fuck david blatt. had no idea about kerr's father

[Skai]

Best offense vs. best defense tonight. Interestingly, Dubs are 3rd in defense (99.0) and Spurs 3rd in offense (108.8).

[notorious bum]

Game is delivering the goods. Every possession is a battle, feels like playoff basketball, as expected.

[Skai]

All as planned.



Ginobili!
