I also love that he was yelling, "This is my city!"  Lol.  You've been there for 4 months.  You will never even be the most popular athlete from your alma mater in that city.  Get a clue.

Was thinking that. Hilarious.

KAT is better in every facet of the game other than ball handling and guarding on the perimeter.  Jimmy is so much better that he really turned the Timberwolves into a great team when he joined them.

Err...

Lol.  No he's not a better player than Jimmy.

Err...

KAT is soft serve vanilla that might put up some big #s on losing teams like Kevin Love. #3 option on a winner at best. #1 option on a doormat.

As the story goes....

When Butler was in Minnesota, he took the guys at the end of the bench against Kat's A team of starters and whooped their azzes.   KAT is just an evolved, glorified Charlie Villaneuva, stat stuffing, non Alpha.  It doesn't surprise me that a Wojo supporter would go to battle for KAT though.  Image is everything these days, isn't it?

Lol what?  KAT is Charlie Villanueva?

[BM1090]

KAT is awesome but agreed that a team led by Jimmy will win more than a team led by KAT. Awful defender, pretty soft player. Highly skilled, though.

And the Wolves best year did come with Jimmy.

Big article in The Athletic about
dissension on Rivers' Clippers.

Harrell complained publicly that Doc was giving George and Leonard preferential treatment.

Of course, dating back to Mikan (and probably earlier), stars have gotten special treatment forever.

[The Sultan]

Is it just me, or is Doc a little overrated as a NBA coach?

Don't think he is overrated.

It is you.

[wadesworld]

Don't think he is overrated.

Agreed.  I think he's pretty properly rated.  Not the best coach in the NBA, but one of the better ones.

[JWags85]

Agreed.  I think he's pretty properly rated.  Not the best coach in the NBA, but one of the better ones.

Agreed.  People get caught up in his failures as a front office figure in addition to his coaching responsibilities.  He's still a really good coach.

Harrell is in a weird position, and I can understand the difficulty for Doc to manage that.  Harrell was unheralded end of the bench guy, worked hard and grew, especially once Doc went out and got him and coached him in LA.  He was positioned to be a potential star for the Clips...then PG and Kawhi happened.  On one hand, its 2 of the top 10 players in the game, come on.  On the other, I see where he is coming from.

[MikeDeanesDarkGlasses]

Well, his Chris Paul team underachieved due to rifts between team members.

Now there's talk about how teammates are grumbling about preferential treatment for George and Leonard.

He's a good coach but can he deal with the personalities like Phil Jackson can to get the team to the next level?  - There are a lot of question marks there.

A professional sports team that has players butting heads? NO WAY!

He handled KG, Ramon Rondo, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen just find.

They never had issues though....

Again, you're telling me there's some tension in a profession sports team's locker room? That's just unfathomable.

I'll take a ring and some big egos not always being best friends over a bunch of guys adding lottery picks to their roster and singing Kumbaya together.

[Elonsmusk]

Great quote from Doc Rivers at bottom of this story..

Yeah, well like I said..... there was tension in the Clippers lockerroom with Paul/Griffin etc.  That team imploded.

Henry Ellenson picked up by the 905 Raptors. Has done well in the two games he played  with them so far. Hopefully, he can find his way back to the League.

DJO and Jae Crowder both posted about kobe today

[MU82]

Jimmy seemed to be beyotching out Herro about something or other in tonight's Heat-Celtics game.

[PGsHeroes32]

Jae got tossed tonight. Bit of controversy.

Marcus Morris than called Jae a woman in his post game while being interviewed by a woman.
