2015-16 NBA Thread (feat. the Wives)

Curry last night: 28 minutes, 37 points, 1 turnover.

 

The four-letter reports Griffin broke his hand punching a staffer at a restaurant and will be out for a little bit.

Sources: Griffin hurt in fight with equipment staffer

 

Was pretty sure it wasn't going to be someone who could have given him a fair fight.

 

LeBron admits to being out of shape to run the uptempo offense he's now installing. But he's moving primarily to the 4 position, having played out of position for the first 41 games this season and all of last year. K and K need forget working on their personal brand and buying into the team concept of winning, Team LeBron. Team Nike. Team McDs. Team Beats by Dr Dre.

 

Tyronn Lue gives interview to Cleveland.com in which he tells Love and Irving to worry about basketball and not about their "brand." And also to get the fuck out of The King's way.

Tyronn Lue wants Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love to focus less on 'their brand' and defer to LeBron James

As for how to get Love more involved, the answer for now is to get him more time with the second unit.

Cavaliers not looking to trade Love, GM says

I can see why LeBron wouldn't want to cop to being G.M. of this.

 

LeBron is a student of history and a master tactician. He knows that Magic fired a coach to get Riley. Jordan fired a coach to get Jackson. Kobe fired a coach to get Jackson. LeBron knows he needs to fire a coach to hire Liu and he'll be working on 1 for the thumb in 3 years

 

I'm sure Lue came up with that second message all on his own.

Has anyone made an internet meme yet with Lue positioned as Lebron's ventriloquist dummy?

He would have had him fired.

 

Think about it, as a 6'9" NBA superstar; what could an equipment manager possibly do or say that would be worth jeopardizing your career? Or even the season? What??? Man guys are stupid.

 

Blake Griffin got into a fight with his boyfriend?

 

Will Blake Griffin still receive his pay?
