Most coaches (and GMs for that matter) don’t have the courage or confidence to assess player skills and adapt their schemes to their players’ strengths. Reid does, Belichick does, McVay and Pederson do, but that’s probably it. Maybe Carroll does? The authoritarian, “my scheme,” “leader of men” coaches are really just…

That looks more like a photo of Brandon Bass.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - please stop reminding Dave Roberts that he isn’t playing his best players.

LeBron should do the same thing for Buddy Boeheim, just to fuck with Mad Jimmy.

Don’t they start selling basket beef at the mall around this time every year?

Bill Russell boring? Fuck that:

Isn’t this the ending to the Sixth Sense or something? (also, un-grey?)

I think the Wizards have been “like this” since the mid-90's USAirways Arena/MCI Center days of Juwan, CWebb, Muresan, Cheaney, etc. At least I kind of found those teams likeable. Dwight Howard is not helping in that respect.

Is this Rex Ryan?

Meh, if the Celtics just shot 25% from 3 last night, they would have at least tied and maybe even won in OT. Magic were (are) butt, but made a few more shots and were remarkably poised all night.

John Elway: “Vote Neigh on 112"

Schlereth is definitely bad but all-time worst for me is Collinsworth-and not really for any specific reason. I learned my hatred of Chris Collinsworth from my dad and it has stayed with me into my 40s.

Strong Ewing vibe with Ayton

So Joey Crawford is a soccer referee now?

Maybe Joe West was secretly a Mondale/Ferraro supporter?

Can we get Peter Gammons to transcribe this in a tweet?

I couldn’t be more excited for the epic amount of shit-talking, posturing, glaring, and general beefing between these two teams for the rest of the season.  

Machado be trippin’

Truly a masterpiece which I actually completely read all the way through. Please take me out of the grays.  That is all.
