Orcas are highly, highly, intelligent with more complex brain structures than humans.  Stop attacking our prime time marine mammals. 

I also never said everyone should shoot mid-range shots.  But saying it's "dead" is factually incorrect.  I'll take SGA on my team any day.

SGA is far more successful than an orca

The mid-range is definitely not dead. It is the heart of the Bulls' massively successful offense.

I bet the Bulls manage to draft an orca next month.

I’d like to see an orca dunk a basketball.

Strategic change from bringing in dinosaurs? Their president did promise a shake up.

Sounds like NBC beat out TNT for NBA broadcasting rights.  Might be the end of the greatest sports television show out there.

Go out on top.  Ernie isn’t leaving TNT.  Shaq and Barkley will have their pick of jobs, I’d suspect.  Wonder if Kenny just decides that’s enough. 

Brian Anderson will have to make a choice, too, if he wants to keep calling the NBA

It feels like Barkley has always had retirement rumors.

I know BA does a lot with TBS. Would he be able to do NBC for hoops and still do TBS/TNT for others?

Not sure what his status is with all that he has his fingers in.  Big shakeups coming anyway with the wild, Wild West of conference TV deals in college sports moving here, there and everywhere

[Skatastrophy]

Shaq and Barkley are joining LIV Golf

Man, if this is true, TNT's parent company really screwed this up.

Sam has been up for other jobs and has paid his dues as an assistant since retiring in ‘09.

I’d take him in a heartbeat over Redick.  LA’s problem isn’t the coach.  It’s the roster

Pretty sure if da Lakers consult wit #34, dale crap out. His record in pickin' coaches sucks, aina?

Why would they consult with Giannis?  Lebron and AD will be the ones part of the process.

Luckily for the Lakers, Doc Rivers isn’t an option

I'm sorry. It's dead for 99.5% of basketball players. Should have been more specific.

Based on your own search history eh?

Thibodau looks like a constipated East German gymnastics coach.

Brunson is shredding this team like a ginsu knife. 

[tower912]

It would be awesome to be able to think Kolek reminded me of Brunson again.  Jalen is on some kind of heater right now.

Brunson didn't come into the league schooling fools off the bounce.  Somehow he developed this skill to an elite level.

This is simply inaccurate.  It's not about taking a ton of mid-range shots, it about having it in your arsenal.  Why?  Because it's an open look one can consistently get.  SGA has it, Murray, Brunson, ANT, Middleton, Lebron, and plenty of other guys. Not having it at all in your repertoire is just foolish.

Golbert not having a lot of success guarding Jokic.
