Indiana Hicks & Memphis in the nba finals? I'll rather watch curling!
I'd watch Charlotte vs Sacramento if they were in the Finals. Basketball is a great sport, premier franchises or not. If you only watch for the superstars...please kill yourself.
Memphis, you had a good run. Although two of these games could have gone either way, ain't nobody coming back from 0-3, let alone against Pops. Hopefully the Spurs can end it in 4 and get healthy and rested while Miami and Indiana beat the hell out of each other. Still pulling for Indiana though. Lovin Paul George.

Yeah, I'd much rather see the Spurs in the Finals. If we played the Grizzlies, that would be a stretch of 3 most physical teams in the league.
I'm the same way. I'm one of the few who enjoyed Spurs-Pistons match-up.
As I suspected, Del Negro got the axe shortly after Carlisemo. Amazingly, they aren't making a realistic offer to Phil Jacskson for a job tailor-made for him...I think we are seeing first-hand, thru this coaching selection process, why the Clippers have always been considered a second-rate organization. And now as this process drags on aimlessly, the question will be wether they can keep CP3, if he doesn't think the Clippers' franchise knows what it's doing in building a championship contending team.
Equally amazing, The Bobobcats hire Steve Clifford, a guy with no head coaching experience, as their 6th coach since 2007. Apparently he is now supposed to guide the worst team in the league out of the NBA basement. It's so amazing to me because you would think MJ, who owes his whole career to Jacskson, would be dying to bring him in to help build his franchise into a contender. But the Bobcats instead hire another nobody...fucking incredible
!You know Phil isn't going to Charlotte, MJ knows it, so why bother. Phil makes good teams great teams. What Charlotte needs is someone cheap who can develop young players into a good team so a good coach can take the reigns.
I read a quote from someone, it might have been Scott Stiles, but they basically said some coaches are paid to develop and some are paid to win and unless you get lucky like Spoelstra, Rivers and possibly Brooks, developing coaches will never win. They also went on to say they were told upon hiring that they weren't there to win games, just to develop rookies.
I don't know if every front officr views the coaching position like this, but it would explain a lot.

I think you're right...but I also think maybe MJ, given their past history, could make an appealing offer to bring in Phil as being a GM/President of Basketball Operations type deal with a small minority ownership interest and then have Phil there for the long haul hand-picking talent and instating his coach (Brian Shaw). Obviously that is unlikely, but I'm just surprised that a guy like MJ who was so committed to winning as a player, wouldn't do everything possible to develop a winning tradition rather than continuing to be so sorry year after year.
Looking on the bright side though, the Bobcats do play in the same divison as my Wizards, so as long as they keep "developing rookies", we have at least one team we can always count on being ahead of in the Southeast :thumbsup: !

Hope the Heat ends it tonight so the finals can start.

Pucker Up Butter Cup.
Pacers won. It wouldn't matter if the Heat won tonight or not, the Finals are always set at a specific date. Its June 6th this year.
Oh man, it would be so classic if Queen James and his crew lost on Monday.
wow what a bs call on lebron going to the hoop against hibbert. hibbert went straight up and lebron didnt make the layup but there is no fucking way that this was an offensive foul. no push off, no elbow nothing. anyhow bosh and wade have to step up in game seven and fortunately the heat have got the birdman back. heat in 7.
yes off course they get calls and some of them are really crap and i dont want to take anything away from the pacers they are really putting up a great series but when i saw that play i could not believe it.
I thought it was a border-line play that could have gone either way, but the way LeBron re-acted by running down the whole length of the floor in disbelief of the call, would have gotten any other player a tech for disrespecting the refs. In any event, they'll be at home for Game 7 with the Birdman, their home refs, AND their home crowd...so no excuses for this one !
