I honestly believe Karl thought to himself that there was no possible way he would last a full season and made sure his contract was guaranteed in the case he was fired. He didn’t come cheaply either.

Jason,

“and now the rumor is theyre trying to replace him with David Blatt???”

The thing I don’t quite understand was, why did they hire Karl in the first place? I get that Ranadive wanted an uptempo offense and Karl was known for running uptempo offenses, but didn’t they read the fine print on Karl’s coaching career? Karl has ALWAYS had problems with star players dating back to when he and…

There’s absolutely no way Larry Bird even returns Mark Jackson’s phone calls let alone grants him an interview.

I can’t put Cousins in there. He’s not a good defender, takes his team out of games if he’s having an off night, has run pretty much every coach he’s ever had out of town and doesn’t make his teammates or team better. I like him for his potential more than his output. I mean I can’t say a guy who goes out and scores…

And the 7th Annual Gilbert Arenas Award goes to....

“For the Lakers to win this game, they’re going to have to outscore the other team.” -an actual Magic Johnson quote from his short time as an analyst for the NBA in 1991.

“The next day, Schilling replied to a person by saying he was “getting ready” to take a job “that’s likely to make the far left heads explode”:”

Jesus Christ, I never would have thought Kevin Love would be a net positive defender in my life.

I absolutely love Kawhi Leonard as he reminds me so much of one of my all time favorite players: Sidney Moncrief. Same shutdown mentality, same huge wingspan, same ability to mentally destroy a good offensive player by never giving an inch of room for them to work in. Àlso, both were great college rebounder despite…

I dunno dude. Pippen was a dominant wing defender who could hound point guards as well as any small forward of his era, but he wasn’t exactly banging with power forwards in the post or guarding centers regularly. Don’t get me wrong, I do remember Pippin giving Barkley fits on the perimeter when Barkley would step out…

Ha, well, Barkley was an awful 3 point shooter who for some reason fell in love with shooting 3 pointers. I don’t know how well Green would be as a 3 point shooter if he were the focal point on an offense and teams double teamed him but I’d venture to guess that he would shoot better than Barkley.

Honestly, I just don’t care anymore. Outside of Snyder’s Batman there isn’t a DC Comic that I read.

Good question, but I don’t think so. LeBron is on a different level than Green offensively. I don’t think Green could be the focal point of a team’s offense although I’m curious to see what would happen if he ever got the chance. LeBron also isn’t on the same level as Green defensively. James is a pretty good defender…

This is just all win. +1

Somewhat, but there isn’t a position on the floor that Green can’t guard. He’s the human Swiss Army Knife on the defensive end. Need him to guard an inside power forward? He’ll just front the guy, give him no ground and swipe the ball from him if the player dares put the ball on the floor. Need him to guard a speedy…

“I guess I’d take that over whatever crazy-ass philosophy Snyder gives us.”

The screenwriter of Doctor Strange spoke about the casting of The Ancient One in depth on some podcast. He basically said that the casting for the character was a no win situation anyway you looked at it. If they cast the role as it was originally drawn/written you’d be stuck with an Asian stereotype which would have…
