    And people say Mondays are boring.
    This is kind of a big deal.

    I'm right there with you.

    Silas was really a horrifically bad HC.
    If you want to tank, he's the perfect guy to have because he's going to make decent talent look worse. He's did it with vets, a mixture of Vets and youngins and mostly all young guys. Same shitshow no matter the roster makeup.
    He was the true tank commander through all 3 years.

    Momster excited but Tari is about to need to learn to play the game of basketball pretty quick if he wants minutes.

    Udoka ain't doing the "chicken with your head cut off" defensive strategy.

    She's semi-quoting/paraphrasing what Udoka told Kawhi when they were with the Spurs trying to turn him into a championship-type player. He said he wanted to do something similar with Brown and Tatum :

    Quote from here :

    “I want to tell Jayson and Jaylen: ‘The fact that you aren’t All-NBA should be a chip on your shoulder. Why wait? Go out and take it now.’ That’s a message I shared with Kawhi Leonard when we were pushing him to become a championship-calibre player in San Antonio.”

    What stories are you talking about? Are you one of those people who have no idea what happened in Boston so youre making things up in your head? Every one of his players in Boston loved him and praises him stil. He had a consensual affair with a staffer and Boston overreacted. End of Story. Everything else is made up.

    yup…only reason Ime didn’t end up in BK is because it was too soon and the Nets were also dealing with the Kyrie documentary saga

    This hire also means no more excuses for our young players. I know Silas had a lot to do with our performance, but now you can't hide behind bad coaching anymore if you suck on the court.

    Hopefully we see those who play well get minutes and those who don't follow structure get benched or traded. Tired of seeing unorganized clown show on the court and the HC smiling and clapping

    Time to bring Danuel House back so he and Udoka bang some chicks together! I am happy about the hire. We finally have a coach.

    naw reeko. people saying Jalen's 2nd year was disappointing scoring 22 pts a game. People still bring up Stone should have drafted mobley.
