2023-24 Running NBA thread

Finch was v e r y unhappy after the game. Called out his team for brain-dead basketball in hunting for KAT to get a big number while also going defense-optional.

 

Reminiscent of Ricky Davis shooting on his own basket just so he could get his 10th rebound and a triple-double.

 

Damn. Rough business. The Bucks have the second best record in the league. Sounds like Doc is on deck.

I assume Giannis and Griffin didn't see eye to eye.

 

Just wow. Talk about not getting a full opportunity (40 games?). However I give ownership credit that they're not counting pennies.

 

Terry Stotts has to be cackling somewhere

 

Isn't that who he wanted, though? Disappointing to see Giannis step into the long line of superstars moonlighting as subpar GMs. I know they haven't looked as good as hoped, but they still have the second-best record in the league. David Blatt is available to talk Griffin through this...

 

Giannis signed off on it, but I'm not sure it was who he wanted -- and he said early on he wasn't committing long-term to the franchise until he saw how it went.

I don't think Terry Stotts made it through the preseason before he noped on out of there. At the very least, I think Griffin's style rubs people the wrong way.

 

Once you reach a certain level of expertise in a field, you know WHEN something will not work out far more than when something will work.

That’s probably what Stotts saw.

 

Chauncey Billups may be the dumbest coach alive.

15 seconds left, Blazers up by one, and Chauncey gets a double technical arguing a double dribble call.

Blazers lose.

 

I'd like to buy Adrian Griffin a beer for taking a bullet for all of us TNT viewers.
