No one appreciates great Center post play like Shaq.
No one disrespects great Center defense or great Center shooting like Shaq.
hmmmm I wonder why...

I was kidding.
But take into account MCW was 21-22 his last year at Cuse and rookie season versus Exum who's 19 and comnig from playing Australian HS.

I mean MCW is 23/Exum is 18.
MCW was in prep school and was like skinner than Exum is right now how do you think he would have looked at 18?

I think coaches just don't want to deal with a star player face to face with it. Like D'Antoni, he avoided conflict with players like the plague.Excellent.
I'm not even going to address Scott's latest gem; benching Nash in favor of Lin through the media instead of talking about it with Nash first.
Why does every coach do this? I swear - I've never heard of a coach talk with a player and tell him he's being benched or why he's being benched or what the long term plan is. Every single time the coach just benches the guy. This convo would maybe take 3-4 minutes after or before a practice. Is it really that big of a deal? Do coaches not really talk to players in the NBA? Are they scared? Do they think the player should just deal with it? Wouldn't the player be 20x happier if he knew he was being benched temporarily just to experiment with new lineups or something?
I don't understand it. I can name a million examples of coaches doing this.

Hell, coaches too. Spo relies heavily on analytics. Brad Stevens does too. "Eye test" isn't the only approach in this day and age. There's nothing wrong with reconciling both to justify/explain what you're seeing. Both are inexact sciences that you combine for an optimal result.

Dennis is disrespecting himself by making that comparison. In his prime, Dennis could be an off-the-court knucklehead and still come to the arena the next day and contribute. Can't say the same for JR.

They're suckers.
A player shouldn't have to worry about a team's roster flexibility. If the owners wanted more flexible rosters, then they should have significantly raised the cap. I'm tired of hearing this narrative of where "if you want to win, then you have to take less."
Why is the inverse not true? If owners want to win, shouldn't they have to pay more? Guys that take pay cuts are not only doing themselves a disservice, but they're also ruining it for the guys in the middle and lower ends.

I'm in this video
You can't see me that well, but I am in a red Indians hat with a long sleeve Maroon Cavs shirt on.
I stand up after Love gets the And-1 3 ball
I'm behind where Blatt is standing and a little over to the right
Let me know if you see me
Theres a older dude in like a lime green shirt and I am directly above him and one seat over to the left.

Idk if they should trim the season down, but they should revert back to best of 5 in the first round.

Isn't that happening? Or is it still being discussed?

They live in Texas though.
So them taking less money won't impact them as much as if they did that in Cali

I honestly can't see them winning even 15 games. The East is better overall and they're probably worse than they were last season. I'm thinking 10-12 Ws.
