Random NBA Observations 2014 - 2015

While they've played well without Bogut hard to see them getting out the west if he gets hurt again and he's basically day-to-day for his career.

Even considering that, they still have arguably the best chance of coming out the West. Only team I can see giving them problems is OKC, and they're not a lock of even making the playoffs. To say that there's 'no way' that they win a championship this season is ignorant talk.

You think Bron is worried about his numbers? Blatt is just the wrong coach for this team, he needed a young team with no expectations. Bron has been to the Finals 5 times playing his way, needed a strong personality with a proven track record in the league to get him to change up now.

Of course, Bron has ALWAYS been about his numbers.

He started this trend of guys not taking half court shots at the end of a quarter to protect their FG%*.

Ballmer didn't give Doc the keys to the kingdom, that was Sterling right?

True.. but there were clashing though. Doc was about to leave cause Sterling didn't agree on the Bledsoe- Caron Butler deal for JJ Reddikk and Jared Dudley. Sterling wasn't that fond of white players. F*ck Sterling but in hindsight as far as player personal evaluating goes: Sterling>>>> Doc

Agreed, that's nonsense.

True, that is some hoe sh*t.

They don't run it because LeBron doesn't run it -


It would have been a good time, but being on the road and trading for Smith, Shumpert and Mozgov compounded the problem.




The offense could work with LeBron, his assists numbers would take a big hit though and that I think is part of the problem.


Sidenote @The Taxman @pete clemenza, your boy Doc couldn't help himself and signed another washed vet, Dahntay Jones.

For all the talk Lebron gets about being the perfect unselfish superstar the truth is he's unselfish as long as he's the centerpiece. Even in Miami when asked to play off the ball he would just sit in the corner with no movement or hardly any cutting. It's sad because when he would cut off ball with Wade controlling the show he was an absolute monster. He just seems to sort of pout or sandbag the offense until he convinces the coaches to let him control the rock and the offense.

Its only a ten day contract

Lowkey, Ballmer bout to destroy what we built. His history @ Microsoft is repeating itself. DOc the GM= Zune and the xbox one combined

Low key, I'm kinda intrigued by Austin Rivers. First of all he's a young athletic player with some upside- something Doc is allergic to. And truthfully he can't be any worse than Farmar, CDR, Bullock, or a Jamal Crawford(when he's ice cold) imo

Still need that SF though Doc

Apparently you haven't done any research on Austin rivers

Oh yes I have. He's in bust territory, I'm well aware of that. What it really is, I'm a little giddy that we've acquired a player under the age of 30. That's been a real foreign concept around these parts since Doc arrived

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Looking forward to seeing how Green fits in with this Memphis squad tonight. He gonna eat with all the looks Gasol and Conley give him.

Im intrigued by Austin Rivers too. It fascinates me that he could be the son of a pro coach and have such horrible fundamentals. It amazes me that someone took him in the 1st rnd. I rather watch Matt Barnes and Jordan Farmar play a gm of horse than I would Austin Rivers playing for us. He sux.

Nah, Sterling didnt give him all that power. We had a gm and president of bball opps. Ballmer gave him that power when he took over. Only coach that has Rivers' powera is Pop. And he aont Pop

He was only a 1st round pick because he was still living off his high school hype. If he would've stayed multiple years he probably would've ended up like James McAdoo
