D'Antoni would be a terrible hire for Houston if true. But hey....everyone thinks they can be Golden State. Just bring in an 'offensive minded' coach and poof 74-8.

The problem in general is that coaching is vastly, epically overrated on the pro level everywhere. It's getting the right GM, to make the right decisions when you have the chance, having insanely motivated players and then, a coach who can get the best out of them.

Really ultimately, teams that fail do so because they get talent acquisition wrong repeatedly. Fans often blame coaches when there's not much that can be done to make the talent better.

A big part of becoming a star in the NBA right now is simply putting in the work to be consistently excellent.

How much time is spent every day on practicing hand shake choreography?

[Joesanity]

I have no beef with Klay, Igoudala, Ezeli, Barbosa, Barnes or Livingston. Really it's just Bogut Steph and Green that are insufferable.

The Cavs top to bottom are completly hateable douchebags with the possible exception of Channing Frye.

Oh come on.

No one hates James Jones.

He's part of Lebron crew though. Just some washed bum who can still shoot threes and isn't man enough to survive in the NBA on his own anymore. But there is hope for him. Girls Name Thompson got a huge contract and he also only has one plus NBA skill. Just gotta make sure the King likes you.

I like Shumpert's hair.

Idk man, I think Luke Walton truly rallied those guys around him and he made them better. They would have been a middling team without his top notch coaching. GS is going to miss him so much when the Lakers are beating the Warriors next June.

Walton bombing is going to be so great.

Over under on the field goal percentage of Ben Simmons next year?

[verb_to_trust]

40.2% over or under?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Under. He's so overrated

[Monkey_Driven]

Under. Unless he grows a pair and drives to the basket more.

[verb_to_trust]

I'll take the over, but only because i think he's going to be scared to shoot.

[spike]

i'll take the down under

[verb_to_trust]

Just when you think the cavs are rolling Lebron flops like a bitch and kyrie goes 3-75.

[verb_to_trust]

Also lol@kloves 1-9. Not enough chocolate milk?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Its just delaying the inevitable though. Good for you Toronto, feel good about yourselves.

[verb_to_trust]

The trashtors are irrelevant. The cavs letting those guys beat them by 15 should bring the whole cavs can win it all narrative back down to earth.

[Monkey_Driven]

Carroll's reaction to being given a T was the best. Even he was flabbergasted by Lebron's flop.

[verb_to_trust]

Stephs dumb pregame dribbling routine is way more offensive than Westbrook dancing.

[verb_to_trust]

Bogut is trash. I bet it stings knowing he's going to be around and Ezeli is leaving if you're a Warriors fan.
