  1. Yeah he was on the ringer nba show after the Mavs game 5 win the other day as well.
  2. He obviously wouldn't walk away this year, but I'm more astounded by the fact that his name is never mentioned as a future candidate for the position.
  3. Is there some issue between Coach K and Quinn Snyder? Snyder would be the obvious choice to replace him. Of course Snyder never worked for Coach K so his career success is probably a function of that.
  4. You don't have to look back much further than just last year. His last full game in the bubble against the Clippers Porzingis dropped 35pts and like 10+ rebounds. Until his recent bout of injuries KP was easily the most agile 7'2"+ player the league had ever seen . He's clearly either still suffering the affects of his knee surgery or is overly cautious because of it. He had a similar meniscus injury to the one Jaren Jackson of the Grizzlies suffered yet not only did KP suffer the injury more recently than Jackson, but he came back like 3 or 4 months earlier than him as well. I'm hoping against all hope that Porzingis will regain his fluidity and confidence because if he ever does the Mavs are gonna be a serious problem. At the very least I want him to regain his level play sufficiently enough to become a tradeable commodity so that the Mavs can receive something close to equal value in return.
  5. ^ ^ Thomas Hill's (of Duke fame) younger brother and famously redshirted a season to complete his senior Electrical Engineering project.
  6. ^ ^ That's good news on the Anthony Black front. Duke is/was lurking around him as his profile has risen in the past few months.
  7. And what? Leave behind those much ballyhooed **assets** he's been hoarding for the last 10 years.
  8. There was a 6'6"/6"7" guard/wing kid from a northeastern prep school who committed awhile back as a preferred walkon. Anyone have any info on him as to whether he's still coming?
  9. This guy's thread gives a little color to how it happened.
  10. Can't help but think that this was always the destination.
  11. Kawhi has all the qualities you'd expect from a cyborg. All of the technical skill and precise efficiency of a machine without any of the empathy or human qualities needed to galvanize and lead his teammates through tough times.
  12. Such a great point. In today's NBA, where good teams have no less than 3 shooters on the court at a time (really good teams have at least 4) and defenders can't hold or physically inhibit offensive players from getting to where they want to go, Kawhi is a 1 tool player. Shit we have players like Julius Randle averaging 6+ assist/gm in today's NBA. Now don't get me wrong, Kawhi is an absolute killer in that one tool, but he should be so much more. And the leadership/intangibles portion can't be overlooked. Has there ever been a team as talented as this that was so clearly a front running team, totally incapable of handling the least bit of adversity?
  13. @52-80 Keeps harkening back to 400 years in nearly every post he's made on this thread as though nothing else has happened since then
  14. I wonder how well spent that 500k is gonna feel for him next year when he's wearing #9 for the Cincinnati Bengals.
  15. That is an incredibly stupid thing to shell out that type of money for.
  16. Not so much about his actual game changing, but he's been more willing to defer to his teammates now. Other players (like Bogdan Bogdanovic, Lou Williams, and even Huerter and Gallinari) are initiating the offense much more frequently now than they were earlier in the season. He's playing off ball more than what I've seen before.
  17. I thought the play-in tournament was the the compromise on this want.
  18. And she was denied tenure after department professors, UNC's president, their provost, and a litany of people endorsed her. The trustee/board of regents stage of the process is typically perfunctory at that point.
  19. Not only are they not against cancel culture, but they're making it a matter of public policy to cancel any effort towards giving a full telling of the black experience in America. From school boards banning the 1619 project or banning efforts at teaching on subjects related to black people. It's clear that overt anti-blackness is once again in vogue with the republican party.
  20. Also let's not forget fact that black americans were citizens deserving of the benefits the United States government gave to citizens at the time. They are not and were never immigrants to this country. This obvious truth tends to get overlooked in discussions like this when the status of black americans gets compared to immigrants. James Baldwin hits on this mentality when discussing how black people at the time received Bobby Kennedy's statement "that it's conceivable that in 40 years we might have a negro president"
  21. And Luka only had 1 point in the entire 4th quarter. If everyone was healthy I felt we matched up pretty well with the Clippers going into the series. Kawhi is the only thing that scares me about them.
  22. Because housing discrimination isn't the sum total of the damage done to black people. Being segregated away from the rest of america into densely impoverished communities for generations can have a corrosive cultural and mental toll on people. Being otherized, criminalized, terrorized, and bombed into subjugation also has an affect on people. There isn't a large city in this nation where black people weren't literally bombed when they attempted to partake in the American experience. Part of the assimilation process for immigrants into America is incorporating anti-black views. It's American as apple pie. Are you fucking seriously trying to compare the black american experience to immigrants ?
  23. Most number 2s have some sort of flaw and it's usually mental. Take a look at Paul George for instance. Plus KP is a big. He needs others to get him involved. .
