Official 2020 NBA Offseason - First Half Season Schedule Out

PhDeac said:
It's not like Spo has always been a great coach. Pat Riley mentored him and then hired him and Spo eventually became a great coach. It's hard to duplicate that. How many people have an NBA career, then become an all-time great NBA coach, then become an all-time great NBA GM who mentors a future all-time great NBA coach?

Pat Riley had a crazy idea to add a Jimmy Butler to his young roster even though there's been no indication that Jimmy Butler could be the best player on a championship team.

Celtics are so soft and unsure of themselves in crunch time.

Heat are a bunch of emotionless, cold-blooded assassins, led by the coldest motherfucker in the league.

Ugh, that 2nd half was gross.

Maybe a reflection of their coaches

I mean, I fell in love with Butler then too. I never really thought much about him one way or the other before that. And now Butler loves his teammates and lets them do whatever they need to do.

Spo and Stevens seem cut from the same cloth. And Ainge and I think Riley were both scrappy dogfighter annoying type players.
 
I mean Miami made Dion Waiters and James Johnson good
 
Wild to think that the only loss of the Heat's postseason was to Khris Middleton

Yes, horrible coaching by Stevens down the stretch. They signed Kemba because he turned himself into the best PnR PG of his generation outside of CP3. But in slowdown playoff crunch time, instead of capitalizing on that with a high PnR with Tatum with Brown on the wing, he goes to some weird pseudo-Rockets perimeter iso chuck and duck offense and lets Tatum go full Embiid/millennial hoisting up fadeaway threes over smaller defenders. It was like a Danny Manning coached 4th quarter. You're not going to simply out-talent your way to a win in the conference finals, there needs to be some sort of organization.

Lol. Walker has been exposed in this playoffs.
 
Love Caruso

I feel like in addition to the talent in the NBA being very high right now, the likeability of guys, especially role players, is super high too

As opposed to when he didn’t make the playoffs?

This is a great take. Completely agree. Even the hateable players are hateable because they make you care about them and respect them.
 
coincidence that we have not had to watch a warrior's game in months?
 
Celtics only up 8 with about a minute left.
 
Dozier played at South Carolina on that Final Four team

I liked his game during the restart games
 
apetit with the pooh jeter reference, I dig
