  1. Coaching (especially in the NBA) is a thankless job but firing him after he led them out of the doldrums, got them to the 2nd round and competed with a 66 win team before almost all of his team went on IR seems crazy.
  2. The whining about CC being singled out is some real bitchassness. She isn't being treated differently than any other player on the court. There was always going to be an adjustment period. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, its a good thing as she will have to actually overcome in a competitive league. Its a physical league filled with grown women who are competitive as fuck. CC is good currently and will be great but thinking current players should just lay down and let her score/win is crazy. No one has ever asked a rookie to do that and it goes against everything sports is supposed to be about. Magic/Bird/MJ/LBJ all had to take the league over. It wasn't given to them until they proved they were the best. The problem is IMO is that most of the people who are new to watching the league has dismissed it as not good for years without watching. They assumed CC was the best player they've ever seen. Now they have to admit that there players who are better currently and the league has way more talent than they ever knew.
  3. He is so unserious. He was looking like he really cooked someone too.
  4. Not every single minute. Did you? She was prolly hating a bit but I cant find anything saying she called her a "ball hog". She did say she shot "40 times a gm" which was hyperbole. She is definitely shooting a lot at 22 times a gm. To contrast, only one player in the W shot more than 20 times a game (Jewell Loyd 20.3) last yr. No one else shot more 19 times a gm. Its wack when old heads hate but its not new nor is Caitlyn unique is receiving it.
  5. Is this a quote?
  6. Swoopes was uniformed on the record talk. I wouldnt consider her take on Caitlin not coming in and dominating is hating though. She said Cait would be a superstar but there are very few players that have come in as a rookie and dominated the W. Candace Parker is about the only one I can think of. Kelsey Plum who's record Clark is about to break didnt come into the league and dominate. She took quite a few yrs to become a real star player and she still is not the best player on her team. Not even the 2nd best actually.
  7. Here ya go.....
  8. LOL, I'm a little confused by it too but I dont think OKC is actually involved in the trade. Its a pick that OKC traded at one point........I think
  9. Top that off with the fact that Dame and Pat Bev dont vibe. More importantly, I've always disliked Cam Payne but giving him to a team that you more than likely have to face in the playoffs for a vastly over-rated Pat Bev is a dumb move
  10. Yeah, I know he hasnt been happy there for a while. Seems like they could have got a 1st somewhere else and not have to play against him in a couple months. Who knows.
  11. I'd kinda forgot that MJ missed the 1st attempt on that last FT dunk. Couple that with the fact that he had already done the dunk earlier there is no way in hell it should have been a 50
  12. Miles would veto any trade because the receiving team would not get his Bird rights. So unless he went to a team that will have a lot of cap space in the summer his options become limited. He could only get a big payday from a team with cap space to sign him outright. He would more than likely only be with whatever team that traded for him for the rest of the season. Staying CHA can sign anything all the way up to a max or do a S&T to a team over the cap. The whole league is in play by staying.
  13. No idea why IND would do this basically getting nothing for trading Hield to a team they might face in the playoffs.
  14. Nique was robbed
  15. Bulls must've told him they had a deal sending him to the Pistons
  16. Meh, playing 80% of the season to be eligible for awards isnt a major ask IMO. There are always gonna be some issues with any rule. Feel bad for Halliburton as he is legit injured but guys like Embiid, nah. His bitch ass misses way too many games to have any gripe about it.
  17. Grand opening, grand closing.........again
  18. YEP!! It will be really interesting to see how well she plays in the W. She's very good but she isnt better than the truly high level players currently in the league. Also, I dont know that she would have the complete free rein that she does in college so it will also be interesting to see how she handles coaching that doesnt cater to her. I will say there is a new wave of girls coming that are fucking ballers. Juju Watkins at USC is the main name to know. She's been putting up historic numbers already as a freshman
