yeah dantoni and brad in the mix

yeah it ocurred to me today that there isnt a standout like in years past. even the raps probably owe their success more to masai than casey.

it should just be pop

Pop is my default but just look at that games lost due to injury and tell me he’s not it this year

right, I'm not really sure how this is an argument

although I'll qualify that by saying coach of the year is a dumb award and should probably be voted on by other coaches. it's very difficult for people not on the floor to understand what coaches actually do

He’s got a 21 year old point guard an ancient Pau Kyle Anderson pretending to be kawhi and thousand year old Manu off the bench around lamarcus and some how they’re third in the West

I’d agree w that kev prob should be coaches voting for coaches

it should always be pop

They should do one per conference for all the awards

uhhhhh uhhhhhhh PARTICIPATION TROPHIES *pop tart crumbs fly out of my omuth*

awards r dumb, participation trophies only imo

The NBA already has participation trophies. It's called a paycheck.

um checks are not trophies bc u cant shine them with a cloth nor can they adorn a shelf u fuckin dummy

You've never seen a framed check at a business? tsk tsk.

But to be honest, division winner banners are already crossing the line.

These all go WAY over the line. Participation trophies would be better.

I like how Pop has (imo) clearly passed Phil Jackson in terms of who is regarded as the greatest modern coach.

checks are only trophies if theyre big

pjax did himself no favors in the front office of the new york knickerbockers basketball franchise

also pop is the SJW coach the LIEberal media has been waiting for

pop is the SJW coach the LIEberal media has been waiting for

yeah, pop is awesome. he's a pretty great hoops coach, too.

Popovich has all the bonafides of Jax w/o any of the negatives and patchouli stink.

i guess what it comes down to is what do you value more: chip count (for which phil is untouchable) or sustained excellence. to phil's credit, neither the bulls nor the shaq-kobe lakers teams ever won titles without him, but they also represent some of the most stacked teams of their eras. pop drafted good players and helped make them great and won 5 titles, many of them rather improbably. he's made the playoffs every year and did so without ever leading the league in salary (i'm not sure if they've even ever been top 5).

Pop is willing to change is the key

yeah the nba passed phil by while pop adapted

lol

knew it

phil was gonna release the secrets of the triangle and the illuminati worked to undermine him at every step in NY my god

meanwhile in NY pjax is still being felt

New York center Joakim Noah would like more playing time. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek would rather not give it to him. He’ll apparently even physically hold him back if he needs to.

According to the New York Daily News, during an argument last month between Hornacek and Noah, the two got into a shoving match that was allegedly started by the coach. It’s just the latest twist in what has been an unending drama lately for New York basketball fans.

nice

yeah I think that within 5 years it will happen

needs 20/30 teams to approve. could be some interesting east v. west voting blocs.

all star game is fun! a little more competitive this year

<3 brow wearing boogie's jersey

i enjoyed the first half

yeah it was good

game is fun ya

shdve been "team steph" what the hell, just turned this on

def steph.

nice embiid block there

ya that was sick

dantoni subbing out his center that just saved his team with a block? whodathought

lol imagine trying to shoot a three vs KD PG and KD all playing 100% on D.

LBJ should be one of those KDs

lol yea there was just no chance

it looked like he maybe had a sliver of daylight up above the top of the key that he reasonably passed up but turned out to be the best look available, guess allstar teams dont really have plays they can turn to in those situations

hah yeah i mean there was four offensive players within like 5 feet of eachother. think the inbound was supposed to go to klay but he tripped.

best all star game i can remember

yea that was fun. we had some family over and had some nice beer + weed switching back and forth during breaks with the olympics, fun chill night

i have fond memories of mj's last game that went to OT or even double OT but this was intense throughout, format seems to have 100% worked out

Why was Wilson in so long? Gary Harris is better even at 80%

really tho incredible late-season run outta the nuggs and obv a bright future to boot, much props

so rox-wolves, dubs-spurs

east is set btw

1. raps vs 8. wiz
2. celtics vs 7 heat
3. sixers vs 6 bucks
4. cavs vs 5 pacers

What a game. Grats to Matt sorry to kev and other nuggets fans.

grats to lebron for picking up the crucial home court advantage in round 1 of the playoffs xp

about all you could want from a play-in game

rip nuggets. the end of the season was really fun

jokic +7 tonight. really proud of him even tho he’s gonna beat himself up over those last 6 minutes.

isn't it Bucks Celtics

Sorry Kev, I am honestly shocked

2004....wow

Good feeling man.
Cheering for a team in the playoffs is so much fun. And jimmy healthy makes so much difference

so MIL and MIA finish tied, who loses the tiebreaker and thus plays the celtics?

Milwaukee does

oh thank god

really tho incredible late-season run outta the nuggs and obv a bright future to boot, much props

need 2 find a coach tho

Brad Stevens would coach this Denver team to 55 wins in the West. Don't @ me.

seems conservative

offs thread pls

Clay, there was a brief moment early in the season when you repped for McCollum as better than Dame. Was that a passing thought, or still your opinion?

hello friends it's the 2018 NBA Playoffs, a place where dreams GO 2 DIE

I DID IT

i think cj's prob a better podcaster than dame sure
