No. I'm stating facts.
I see you support BLM to make things right.
No. I'm stating facts.
It made things right, no?
There was nary another tape delayed NBA Finals game, yes.
Jokic s on both of them anyway
MJ was a great passer, just never had to resort to it
All jokes aside I never watched Lebron and marveled at his passing. He's tall and has huge open passing lanes because he's a great scorer
Zoomer weighs in with his XBox anti-Boomer game talent take.
Another great passer …
Luka is too he just dribble to damn much
Equality of rights to the rescue.
No. Commerce to the rescue. "We can't have it this way any longer, Red. There is a mound of billions sitting out there for all of us. Just sitting there waiting for us to pick it up. You're in. I ain't asking you, I'm telling you. I'm sending Strom, he's got his orders. Get out of it."Equality of rights to the rescue.
Agreed
Luka needs to learn to play off ball more

May not be flashy but incredible bb IQ
His a race baiting , the .
He's probably played the most organized ball in American History considering the Era crossover.
Indeed it is very rare where a Lebron on court decision made me scratch my head. He does tend to strategize for situations later. He doesn't play in 1 speed and eggs on defenses into mistakes.
Would be interesting to see if he had Luka's young professional upbringing or had to climb the ladder at a Top CBB program in the 80s/90s.
True. Treating people equally and properly leads to financial success.
Agreed, Different contexts and upbringing
Kind of feels like the demonizing of Westhead is really over the top this season. While the players hated his offense, I don't think they disliked Westhead himself, other than Magic. This season really makes Westhead look like a prick, and I never got that from Pearlman's book. Just that he coached a terrible offense all the players couldn't stand, especially after it got them knocked out by that crap 81 Rockets team.
I don't think it's even close. Ain't no one I have ever seen who could have run that offense half as well as Magic.
Didn't know that, but it should really only be considered once (81-82) since he only played 37 games in 80-81.
^ havent listened to it yet, found a podcast with Westhead addressing Magic and the firing.
Think it's at least a decade or so after the fact. So hoping Westhead can be as fair as possible, all the emotion is probably gone out of it.
Don't think you'll ever get an honest answer from Self Promoting Magic.
Westhead has always sounded bitter about it, saying he's the only coach ever fired on a 5 game winning streak. An offense where every player has one spot he just runs to sounds ridiculous in the NBA, and I trust Pearlman's word a lot more than Westhead's if he was trying to argue that was a legitimate NBA offense.
Oh ya I'm hoping Westhead will say in retrospect it might not have been the best offense for that team.
That the Lakers won in 82 justifies Buss making the change for sure. Was this a rare fairly reffed / no catostrophic injuries to opponent year Finals?
...President Trump withstanding, amb.
---It went from a barnstorming league nickel & dimeing it persistnetly to shangri-la in one fell swoop. They've never looked back.
Yup. Same page buddy. Treat everyone the same regardless if you are a billionaire or some fake tough guy. You do the crime you do the time.
And treating everyone fairly got the league further. Now if they start to treat every team fairly.
Only catastrophic injures I remember in a Finals involving the Lakers in the 80s were to the Lakers: Worthy missing the 83 playoffs with a broken leg and then Byron Scott getting hurt in Riley's training camp before the 89 Finals and Magic tearing a hamstring or something early in Game 2 of the 89 Finals. Too bad the Spurs didn't have Artis in 81-82. Probably would still be heavy underdogs but the 82-83 Spurs came one Artis Gilmore putback from forcing a Game 7 (think he got stripped on the way up) so it would have probably been a compe ive series.
EDIT: Duh Isiah. Played amazing on that ankle in Game 6 but was a s of himself for Game 7 once that er swelled up.
