The offense with Tobi running it is not good.

Covid but bet they using it as cover for his knee at this point 

Doc is an idiot. But we already knew that

"I felt it was a 1960′s trial from the time it started,” Rivers said Saturday. "You know, it’s unfortunate. Our justice system is flawed. We keep being disappointed and keep having surprises, but nothing changes, and it’s sad.”

"But that was a 1960s trial from the time it started,” Rivers said, "and you could feel it and you could see it and everyone knew. I really think that’s why there wasn’t as much of an outcry as you thought, because the fix was in. And you felt that way.

"Like I said before, it would be interesting if a Black kid had been walking down the middle of the street with a machine gun. I do agree with one thing: There wouldn’t had been a trial.”

I don't disagree he is an idiot but the refs didn't even pretend to make it subtle.  The "goaltending" on Tobi where his hand was about a foot away from touching the ball was the best one.

Doc needs to go. Promote Cassell

I love that response

Ironically, I just read this 5 minutes ago

It basically says he has done a pretty good job in spite of not being able to motivate Ben and mismanaging him with constant effusive praise. Not being able to motivate Joel (attributes his physical makeover to the birth of his son). Not being able to make proper adjustments in the Hawks series, and his history of blown 3-1 leads, and losing 5 game 7s at home.

In spite of all of that, the author says he has done well because individuals seem to improve under him. Curry, Maxey, Kork, maybe Niang, and possibly add Bassey to the list.

However, imo if we are paying attention I think Cassell is most responsible for individual improvements. So Im not sure why the author decided to give him credit on that and call it an overall good job.

I would definitely say it's Sam and not Doc. Doc has a history of not playing and bringing along young guys. 

 

 

Philly wont talk to Detroit unless Cunningham is included. 

Lol.

Fire Morey.

Almost malice in palace part 2!

Yup

any chance you can trade for an injured youngster like sexton?, just an idea but no Roi this season.

 

Sexton is just De'Aaron Fox light. Sacramento is not happy because he is slumping, cue rumor-mill. I would rather have Fox + draft pick/Bagley than anything the Cavs can offer

Sexton is a better shooter. Fox is a better defender. Theyre almost opposites as players. But both can score.

Opposite is a stretch, but yes they do have key differences. Admittedly, Sexton is a MUCH better shooter (from range) and Fox has been a better defender. Still, there is a lot of overlap both with how they play and how they mentally approach the game. I see Sexton as the poor mans fox, with a plus shooting stroke. He is athletic, but not as much. He can finish at the rim, but not as strong (or creatively). He has the tools to be a good defender, but has not put it together. Both are hot and cold facilitators. My point was, Fox is a better option than Sexton.

I cant say for sure who is better. Sexton improved his shooting a lot, and Fox is kinda stuck where he is. 

Id say fox is easily the better distributer. But do you really want to kill spacing with a non-threat from 3 in the starting lineup? He would be better than Ben, but would bring some of the same issue as well.

Id probably prefer Sexton honestly. Maxey is boosting his playmaking ability. Sexton can do the same. Some will require him working on his game. Some will naturally come from being on a better team where guys around him can hit shots and give him asssits. 

In the end, we arent getting either of them most likely. 6ers dont seem high on Sexton.

True, and I see what you are saying about sexton. he offers, shooting which is needed. I suppose with Maxey's progression it may be better to have a combo guard who can shoot... I just like the fit defensively with Fox. But like you said, neither is happening.

Well one has a torn meniscus so we can check him off the list.

Fox could happen, but more we look at Fox he might just be another Simmons. A guy that excels in transition but can't play half court offense, not to mention his shooting is beyond atrocious, shooting 24% from 3 and and turnover still at 2.9 while assists are down. 

I am also not sure Fox knows how to play off ball.  With Maxey showing he can handle some of the lead guard duties, you are again putting a player in a position to not succeed. 

Cough Lowry Cough would have been perfect this off season in a Simmons for Lowry deal. To me Haliburton is the guy you target and offer any piece along with Simmons to get Haliburton and Buddy 

 

I dont hate Haliburton, shooter who can play both spots. I would feel good about a trade like the one above. 

they definitely aren’t high on sexton cause he’s done for the season with his meniscus surgery. And they aren’t going to trade for him and have to pay him a big contract that he wants coming off that injury and never playing with the team prior.
