2023/2024 NBA THREAD: WHO WANTS TO GO ON PARADE?!?

[cinnepa]

Only my wolves could get 60+ out of Towns and lose to the lowly hornets. #1 in the West, and #1 lowest IQ team.

Coach post game presser was hilarious....pretty much saying how stupid they play

[Danno]

Bucks firing their coach, that was fast!

Supposedly looking at hiring Doc, which is hilarious.

[TahoeJ]

Who fires a coach when you’re 30-13??? Is there some big backstory here?

None yet, but maybe? Or maybe Giannis and Dame couldn't stand playing for him?

Nobody was a better player with him as the coach. Stotts peaced out before the season and they dropped Griffin's defensive strategy after 10 games. They just have more talent than their opponents but he's not outcoaching anyone.

I'm going with this.

Yet the rumor is they want Doc?!? Hahaha. Speaking of not out coaching anyone...... Ever

[cinnepa]

^^^^perfect!!!

heat got better.......i'll say lowry retires...........no way he's putting charlotte colors on. maybe raptors buy him out first.

Stotts leaving with a sizeable contract left seems more pertinent now.

Maybe the Lakers or clippers for Lowry...deep.discount after Charlotte buys him out

Fired the last guy one season after winning a championship.

[riser4]

As a Boston fan, I applaud any move by the Bucks to start a dumpster fire in Milwaukee.

I know, this part is hilarious. Doc Rivers is the Mike McCarthy of the NBA.

[Danno]

And.... Doc Rivers is the new Bucks coach. And Sixers and Celtics fans rejoice.

Bucks are in a great place now, Doc was A+ at making top notch adjustments here in Philly. For example, when Boston countered Embiid and Hardens spamming of the high pick and roll in games 6 and 7 with a wall of big guys, Doc went and................

Hahahahahaha hahahahah!!!!!!!!! Couldn't keep a straight face anymore. Enjoy your new coach Giannis!

Totally. I specifically mentioned the Sixers and Celtics because most people thought it was a 3 team race, but the Knicks are 4 or 5, so this does improve their odds.

Doc does raise the floor of most teams, he's a good locker room leader (it seems) and a good regular season coach. But that was Bud too. This is a team that needed a guy to raise their ceiling, not their floor. I swear, it's like the entire NBA doesn't see what the dedicated fans of the NBA see when it comes to that guy.

[Duffman]

He would have been fired after the Atlanta Sixers meltdown if Bens simultaneous meltdown in cowering from the mighty defender Trae Young didn't take attention away from Doc blowing 3 20 pt leads in a best of 7 once again.

I wouldn't sleep on the heat now. I think adding terry rozier is a big improvement for them. Plus Jaquez is looking like the steal of this draft class, that dude has been balling. Great trade for the heat!

I'll miss Doc on Bill Simmons podcast haha

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

David Blatt (Cleveland Cavaliers, 2015-16)
By far the closest analog to Griffin is this instance, when Blatt was fired midway through his second season with the Cavaliers (30-11 at the time) after coaching the team to the Eastern Conference championship the year before. Blatt was replaced by top assistant Tyronn Lue. Citing a disconnected locker room, Cavs GM David Griffin made the move and didn't put an interim tag on Lue, who had been a finalist for the job in 2014. The Cavs at the time were fronted by LeBron James, who had returned to the franchise in Blatt's first season. James had a good relationship with Lue but was supposedly not involved in the decision to fire Blatt. Cleveland went on to win the NBA championship that season with an unforgettable 4-3 series win over powerhouse Golden State.

Sometimes change is a good thing.

Sixers v Nuggets on national TV.

Embiid, Maxey, and Harris are not playing.

[Cruiser]

Entire Denver crowd chanting, "Where's Embiid at?"

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Yeah, WTAF.

[cinnepa]

Sixers gave them everything....one more guy before the deadline
