Difference is the Clippers are better coached and have guys that care, have pride, etc....

Their team leader is a guy that actually defends and brings energy, not somebody that is organizing coffee dates before 25 point losses and then gets absolutely roasted as soon as he comes into the game ..

I also doubt that Doc is leading pregame meetings with a "Guys, it's just a game, basketball doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things..."

lol at the bolded part, so true smh

Coc Rivers, I honestly wouldn't mind if he took over after Pop. He coaches by feel not by pre-determined rotations. If something's not working he mixes up. If something is working, he runs it to death. I remember when they upset us in '15 he just kept going back to the double screen at the top for CP0 because the Spurs never figured it out. Doesn't take the high road if the refs up, younger, hungrier, etc.

Imagine if they had him instead of Patty Mills. They would save 5 Million of cap space per year

Oh man

That is ROUGH



But does Lou Williams pass on the championship tradition in the locker room? I don't think so.

Oh, yeah, the loss of culture would be devastating to... well... to the culture.

An awkward exchange unfolded at Warriors practice Friday. Head coach Steve Kerr began addressing reporters near the court in the team's downtown Oakland practice facility, but Kerr quickly asked a Warriors PR official if the music thumping in the facility could be turned down so he could hear reporters' questions better and so reporters could hear his answers better
.
The Warriors PR official replied that the music was loud because forward Draymond Green, who was shooting on a nearby court, wanted it that way. (The Warriors PR official moved toward the volume switch and Green shouted to keep the music at the same level.) In the end, the music stayed at the same volume.

A reporter then jokingly asked Kerr who was in charge. "Not me, obviously," he said. After the media session ended, Kerr told reporters, "Enjoy the music."

Just a sidenote to the season. The NBA issued it's Last Two Minute report on Game 1 between GSW and Houston. They say that last no-call on Draymond guarding Harden was correct. But there were three more blown calls in the last two minutes - all in favor of GSW.

I know calls come and go, and you can't blame a loss on them - ya, ya, ya. But GSW always seems to get more than their share. They are already have too much talent to fight the zebras too. I'm no fan of the Rockets or D'Antoni, and I hate James Harden. But the refs jobbed them out of a Game 1 steal. It's not enough to be the better team, you have to be better by that much more of a margin. As a fan, it's hard to slog through a long 82 game season, when you know you're going to have to face that eventually.

Not true at all. Jamal, washed-up Pierce, Austin, Avery Bradley, etc. all got tons of guaranteed minutes from Doc no matter how awful they played.

rockets have a lot of hard guys on their roster

Interesting story about the Sixers pre playoffs,kinda involving the Spurs.

So basically Brown earlier in the season invited Bowen to talk to the team about playoff toughness and what made the Spurs successful and Embiid challenged him and they got into it with Bruce.
It's one thing to troll in twitter and another thing to disrespect a veteran champion in his face.Shameful.

What's this Bowen story? The video is gone. I was going to consider going for the 76ers the rest of these playoffs, but if this is true, then I may reconsider.
