Rockets fired Kevin McHale and promoted J.B. Bickerstaff as interim coach.

McLegend 11-18-2015 09:19 PM

Words can't even describe The Sixers right now.

This is the 3rd year of the tank, and they are worst then ever. Needless to say I'm not as on board with the tank as I once was.

Ruien 11-18-2015 09:42 PM

How many of their past 4 draft picks are even playing?

McLegend 11-18-2015 10:01 PM

2

Nerlens Noel who has been injured this year, and Jahlil Okafor who looks good.

Even with them this might be the worst Sixers team yet.

Ruien 11-18-2015 10:05 PM

What happened to that Embed of whatever his name is? Is he still injured? I always figured the plan was for one year all the draft picks to start randomly playing and somehow get a Superstar to come to the team (Maybe 2 since they will have a ton of rookie contracts) and try to win it all.

McLegend 11-18-2015 10:10 PM

He re-injured his foot at the end of last year and to get surgery on it again. So he is out for the year... Again.

No free agent wants to sign with the Sixers since they are so horribly bad, and look like they will never be good.

Emperor Smeat 11-19-2015 11:45 AM

Mavs and Cs both interested in hiring Kevin McHale.

Mavs more as a possible consultant role like last time he was with the team and Cs more as a team trainer for their big guys players.

ClockShot 11-28-2015 08:06 AM

So the 76ers hit 27 losses in a row. New record for all major sports here in the states.

I don't know about protocol, but does Adam Silver have the authoritah to force owners to sell their team? It seems like the 76ers owners just don't give a fuck about their team. I mean, how's the attendance? Fans still paying to go see games?

Ruien 11-28-2015 10:20 AM

76ers will be a playoff team next year though.

McLegend 11-28-2015 10:40 AM

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.

McLegend 11-29-2015 07:48 PM

Kobe retired

McLegend 11-29-2015 07:55 PM

Actually he is going to finish the year.

owenbrown 11-29-2015 08:42 PM

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

Ruien 11-29-2015 08:57 PM

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

Simple Fan 11-29-2015 09:14 PM

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.

One final time probably ever for KOBE

Emperor Smeat 12-01-2015 03:29 PM

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.

Quote:

Luke Walton can be recognized for what he's done in guiding the Golden State Warriors to a historic start, even though his record as an interim coach is technically 0-0.

The NBA issued a statement Tuesday clarifying rules regarding coaching records. The league said the head coach of record, in this case Steve Kerr, is credited with team wins and losses. That means Kerr is 19-0 even though he has been sidelined since training camp because of complications from offseason back surgery.

Droford 12-01-2015 03:44 PM

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

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-01-2015 05:02 PM

Then they would have to fire Kerr.

Droford 12-01-2015 09:14 PM

Then hire him back when hes healthy..

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

McLegend 12-01-2015 09:17 PM

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.

ClockShot 12-08-2015 08:59 AM

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

Emperor Smeat 12-08-2015 07:39 PM

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.

Droford 12-08-2015 10:18 PM

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

Emperor Smeat 12-11-2015 06:16 PM

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.

Droford 12-11-2015 09:53 PM

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

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.

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.

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.

It's been a long time since the Slam Dunk contest made me jump out of my season. Then Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon started competing against each other.

Anybody remotely interested in the All-Star Game tonight?

I expect nobody to play defense, a total of more than 350 points combined, Kobe to score the most points, Kobe to be named MVP, and the West wins.

Droford 02-14-2016 09:31 PM

I know its the ASG but both teams close to 100 beforevthe half is crazy

Also Sting at halftime of NBA is crazy..

No defense or not, 200 pts would be cool but i think the west going to settle around tge low 190s

31/80 3pt for the west
Shaq Barkley Ernie and Kenny shooting 20 3 pters each

4 away from 200 points.

Seriously, NBA All-Star game is a joke.

Emperor Smeat 02-18-2016 03:22 PM

Slow trade deadline day this year. Just a couple of trades with the biggest being the 3 way involving the Cavs, Blazers, and Magic.

Cavs-Blazers-Magic trade:
Cavs got Channing Frye from the Magic.
Blazers got Anderson Varejao and 2018 1st Round Pick from the Cavs.
Magic got Jared Cunningham from the Cavs and 2018 2nd Round pick from the Blazers.

Evil Vito 02-18-2016 06:40 PM

Most of the experts are blaming the lack of trade deadline movement on the Warriors being so good that most of the teams didn't really see the point of improving for this year.

DaveWadding 02-18-2016 06:58 PM

The Phoenix Suns improved by trading whiny penis Markieff Morris to the Wizards for Kris Humphries, DeJuan Blair, and a first round pick.

Seems like a lazy excuse and part of a growing trend this year to just blame the Warriors for all NBA woes this season.

ESPN had a segment a few weeks ago about people blaming the Warriors for why ratings were down instead of the fact every year has way too few legit teams as contenders.

Evil Vito 02-18-2016 10:00 PM

That's pretty much precisely why I can't get into the NBA at all anymore. It's by far the most predictable of the major sports. Most years you can skip right past the regular season and even half of the playoffs and end up with the exact Conference Finals matchup you would have predicated the previous summer.

A lot of purists actually like that about the NBA, how there are so few playoff upsets and allows you to focus on the few contenders every year. But it does nothing for me.

ct2k 02-19-2016 04:25 PM

Fuckin dunk fuckin contest. Fuck. Unbelievable. That over the mascot under the legs shit from Gordon was FUCKING FLAMES.

Emperor Smeat 02-29-2016 11:49 PM

Apparently a bunch of teams are upset at the Miami Heat over the antics they pulled to get under the luxury tax penalty.

Involved fooling everyone about wanting to go under the tax penalty but finding a loophole to get both Joe Johnson and a tax payout check from the league. Majority of the anger is at the Heat getting another player to waive most of his salary without getting nothing back in return.

Because of those antics, Heat guaranteed themselves a $2.6 million luxury check in the offseason and everyone else who followed the tax rules get lower checks as a result.
