One plays next to Giannis
42 mill vs 19 mill

Playing for the Hornets was a losing culture and his shot selection at the end of games is questionable. But he is not afraid of the moment and will come in handy in close games. This is a great pick up of Miami and will payoff overall better than Dame.

How Sway

Dumbest organization ever, now they're paying 3 coaches with the 2 fired coaches still getting paid.

James Harden….

Fuck a Clipper.

I’ll be looking forward to another Supremedreams skit once Doc loses in the playoffs again

 

[D'Evils]

They fired him after coach bud was going through a difficult time grieving losing someone.

I know his brother...

Playoffs or regular season?

Playoffs, I’m going with the big white sloth. Regular season, going with the Cameroonian.

I do not understand the league front office fascination with him

Doc "Both Hands" Rivers.

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

And that should be the case. Doc is coasting off a ring from near 20 years ago. He has no business still getting head coach gigs.

That whole Celtics team is coasting off that one ring from 20 years ago. Just look at the way Paul Pierce and KG be talking about that team. They act like they won multiple titles at that time.

The fact that they were paying three coaches was the first thing I thought.

But I see that as being to their credit-- The easy thing to do would be to keep the coach they already paid as a replacement.

Wow, Giannis must be subscribed to QueenLGBronTaquito's "This Day In Bron History" newsletter.

One-time champions since 1984:

• The 04 Pistons
• The 06 Heat
• The 08 Celtics
• The 11 Mavericks
• The 16 Cavs
• The 19 Raptors
• The 21 Bucks

Of those, I think the 04 Pistons and the 08 Celtics were special teams. They were every bit as good as the Lakers team that won two titles after them, the second being decided by a Game 7.

They had a lot of health issues as an aging team-- Their repeat refrain (or excuse) was that they never lost a series where all their best players were healthy. (That's what the Warriors were saying until that went up in smoke last season.)

IMO, KG & Pierce are justified in talking about that team the way that they do.

I just wished embiid would play the same way in the playoffs like he does in the regular season.

That shit fucked up.

 

[playahaitian]

Yoooooo
I completely dismissed these posts at first thinking it was an obvious Onion report fake out.

Yes!!!! Okay so the path is becoming clear. The 2nd Rounders need to go through the Celtics and the Bucks in the playoffs to become the 76ers again.

Please let us get the Bucks in the 2nd round, go down 1-3, and let Doc do what he does.

Exactly, dumb ass organization. Bucks on crack.

Embiid has never played this well in the regular season. Nurse makes a huge difference. The biggest thing with Embiid no one is talking about is he has cut down his turnovers while increasing his assist total.
