76ers will be a playoff team next year though.

Yeah I don't think that's happening.

And the attendance is not good. The plan is depending on if they get Ben Simmons next year. If they don't get him then I don't know if this whole plan would be considered a success.

Kobe retired

Actually he is going to finish the year.

well that sucks...even as someone who isn't a Lakers fan, he still had a great career...absolute hall of famer

Calling him just a hall of famer is insulting. He is in the top 10 players ever at a minimum.

Its pretty sad the 76ers are in that kind of shape. Feels like they are tanking to get the #1 draft pick every year. They had a good young guard to build around in Michael Carter Williams but they traded him away. Felt like the Joel Embied pick was a bust from the start and that Jail Okafor doesn't want to be there. Noel hasn't done anything there either. Just don't think Simmons could come in and make that team any better next year.

not trying to downplay it, but he hasn't been playing like one the last couple of seasons considering his injuries

One final time probably ever for KOBE

Lakeshow.

Apparently the NBA has some sort of rule that doesn't give assistant or interim coaches wins. Somewhat of an issue this season because of the Warriors undefeated start and their regular head coach being out with an illness the whole time.

They should have just named Walton th official head coach with no interim/assistant tag

Then they would have to fire Kerr.

Then hire him back when hes healthy..

Wiz about to hand the Cavs their first loss at home since back in january.

Sixers are about win their 1st game. Kobe should retire right now. Don't even wait until the end of the game.

The Lakers are bad.

NBA sorta kinda steps in with this "situation" in Philadelphia. Make former Suns owner Jerry Colangelo Chairman of Basketball Operations and special advisor.

Makes sense considering Philly is a traditional big market and management's been basically making a mockery of the tanking system.

NBA is losing too much potential revenue and the team's tanking strategy has shown no signs of improvement.

I think GS streak is more impressive when you realize they have scored at least 100 pts in all 23 games.

Warriors got the rare mega status treatment for their game at Boston tonight. Cs added several more rows of seats for fans and some extra stuff for the media because of the game's importance in the Warriors road trip.

Cs haven't done something this special since Lebron's 1st time visiting as a member of the Miami Heat in 2010.

Boston giving GS a run but Curry just nsiled a deep 3 to give them back the lead by 2 under a minute

Headed to OT

Steph Curry is gonna have to seriously fuck up or get bad injured to not get the MVP already.

Loving the numbers Dwight Howard is putting up too, Bill Russell type boards.

Knicks 4 da title? Krislaps Porschingus yo :y:

Meadowlark Lemon, the Clown Prince of Basketball, and Harlem Globetrotters legend passed away at age 83.

R.I.P.

Nets fire coach Lionel Hollins.

Sweet Hassan Whiteside triple double tonight...

19 pts, 17 rebs, 11 blocks

What's the joke? Was he a fan of the other team?

No man, just did something nice for the fan by putting up some solid numbers.

Ish Smith MVP

Steve Kerr returns to the Golden State bench tonight.

Whether the autopilot gets turned off or not is another question.

David Blatt has been fired and Tyronn Lue is named the head Coach and given a new contract to reflect this change.

So, what happened in Cleveland for this to occur?

LeBron finally had enough of him? Owner's off his rocker?

Supposedly the GM didn't like or felt insulted with Blatt claiming the team was still "pretty good" following the beatdown by the Warriors.

Also seems like the GM didn't really like Blatt this year and just wanted for something big to happen to have enough of an excuse for the firing.

:?:


.............I've got nothing. This is just................I don't know how to describe this.

Really hope the Cavs make more moves that completely backfire because they feel the need to get a small man lineup to compete against the West.

Jeff Hornacek fired as Suns head coach.

Steve Nash's name was thrown out there as a possible candidate for the job. But he has since said he ain't interested.

THE KNICKS FIRE DEREK FISHER!

THERE IS A SPORTS GOD!

:| at the Cs loss tonight

Had a huge lead early (18 pts), blew it before the half, was down huge by the 4th (19 pts), came back to tie it late, and then lost because of a dumb foul with 1 second left.

7 in a row!!!! Gobert and Favors are a motherfucker of a front court tandem.

Took long enough, insert Rodman
