Careful, you'll lose your GM job.

They were talking about it on the NBA Sirius Channel too. I don't really watch ESPN, but I bet someone was upset about it.

[verb_to_trust]

It was pretty stupid. I'm convinced it was just to stick it to Phil Jackson over the posse comments but who knows, Lebron used to dance like an idiot on the bench during his first stint with the Cavs after all.

Speaking of idiots, how bout them Warriors taking shots at the Jazz for not rolling over and dying the final ten seconds of the game last night? Yep, that's why you blew a 3-1 lead in the Finals last year. Fucking choke artists living in their own universe....

Snyder called a timeout with 9 seconds left down by 8. I'd be laughing too.

[verb_to_trust]

I bet you constantly blow leads in 2k.

Nah, I like to come from behind.

Good game by the Wolfies tonight.

Good game by the Wolfies tonight.

As a Wolves fan, that was fun to watch.

[verb_to_trust]

Glad for Thibs. There was a sequence tonight where Lavine just repeatedly abused Doug: GOOD JOB GAR. Wade really embarrassed himself in crunch time tonight. Looks really old some nights.

Good to see Wade's lackadaisical transition defense made the trip from Miami to Chicago.

[verb_to_trust]

Wade just isn't athletic enough to close anymore, which doesn't really matter because Jimmy is so thirsty to be the man that MJ could be his shooting guard and he'd still iso away possessions in the final 2 minutes. Coming out of a time out tonight prior to a must score possession we were treated to no ball movement and an airball. A few games ago it was the same scenario: brick.

I was texting a friend during the game and made what I thought was a pretty standard observation that I would trade rosters with the wolves in a heartbeat. My friend hesitated. And that is why this organization is stuck in the mud, most fans aren't even self aware enough to demand better.

[verb_to_trust]

Jimmy Butler on the emotions of facing off against Thibs: "Next question, please."

The quote doesn't really do the tone of disgust Jimmy had with the reporter's completely acceptable question justice. Jimmy is such a shithead.

Sad day for the NBA

[doug rr]

i'm not a basketball guy at all but he was awesome...nobody could ever say a bad thing about him

[verb_to_trust]

He was great at making things fun. And he was a Bulls fan.

[verb_to_trust]

I hope Giannis murders the Bulls tonight

The sports world will definitely miss Sager.

I had a three minute conversation with him at the 2007 PGA Championship. He was on some random hole, I recognized him, and asked him a question about how to get hired out of college. That question morphed into a conversation about the Celtics trade that summer and what it meant for the rest of the league. He was kind, thoughtful, genuine, and silly in that brief chat. He didn't have to even turn around to address me but he did. I'll always remember that.

We lost a good one team.
