The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole

Has anybody ever tried so hard to try to convince someone they're "not a fan" of a team? Dude's posting a play by play with "allegedly" after everything. Then he "decides to turn on the end" and of course they fold.

Embiid dropped 70?  I guess PG already posted about this. Damn. 

MU82

From Yahoo Sports:

Embiid is the ninth member of the 70-point club, joining Chamberlain (6x), Bryant, Thompson, Baylor, David Robinson, Donovan Mitchell, Damian Lillard and Devin Booker.

Embiid's outburst in a 133-123 win over the Spurs was the 14th 70-point game in the history of the NBA, which dates back to 1946.

For context: There have been 19 perfect games in MLB since 1946 and 15 instances of an NFL player rushing for 250+ yards.


My additional 3 cents: Of course Wilt did it SIX times. Every time anybody hits some kind of impressive number, milestone or record, Wilt is always on the list to have done it previously. It's pretty incredible that Wilt actually is an underrated player historically.

Threw on the final 8 min of Wolves/Hornets

Hilarious. KAT went into chuck and cry to officials mode. Wolves lose

Hard to say a guy scoring 62 loses a team a game, but might have a case

From Yahoo Sports:

Meanwhile, in Minnesota... Towns' historic night was much less celebratory as it came in a 128-125 loss to the lowly Hornets.

In the locker room, Anthony Edwards admitted the West-leading Wolves were focused on feeding the hot hand rather than winning the game, which they led by 15 entering the fourth quarter.

Head coach Chris Finch was irate, calling his team's performance "disgusting" and "immature." He also said Towns was "hunting a big number."


It's certainly not easy losing to the Hornets, so that's an accomplishment in itself!

Bucks fire Griffin. Joe Prunty is back in charge baby!

And Doc is who they are targeting as a replacement.

I'll stick with my opinion on Gold.  He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

Yeah I'm not a huge Doc fan, but they clearly had to change something.

Dang just saw that Rozier got sent to the Heat too

What took them so long? #34 picked da rong coach. Hello, Doc, hey?

I predict Darvin Ham will get hired this summer

I'd take a hard pass on Doc.

MUfan12

Doc will be fine. What ailed this team wasn't anything complicated.

I feel for Griffin, just as I did for David Blatt when he got launched with a similar record. Tough biz.

4everwarriors

In the future, #34 needs to just shut up and dribble. Oh, and make his free throws too, aina?

Kudos to the Bucks for recognizing their mistake and moving quickly.

Unfortunately it leads to the same ignorant drivel from a certain poster.

I also applaud the Bucks for having standards and striving for excellence.

(Meanwhile the Bulls let Donovan nap on the sidelines)

Well, in this case, he certainly hasn't been wrong.

We've been in agreement for some time on the topic.

I'd take Bud back over taking Doc.

We'll be far better off this year with Doc over AG.  But I do not think Doc would be close to the best coach you could've got had you done this going into the offseason.

QuoteLeague sources say Doc Rivers, who signed on as an ESPN analyst after getting fired by Philadelphia in May, began to serve as an informal consultant to Griffin at the behest of the Bucks.

Lol perfect.  Let's hire the guy who was helping AG.

GB Warrior

In normal circumstances, I'd say hiring Kenny Atkinson would be a good compromise in bringing back Popovich disciples without admitting that we biffed it letting Bud go. I don't see him leaving the Warriors at this moment in time, though.

I don't know what will happen (I'd rather have Bud), but there will be roster changes. Beasley has been a good piece, but he was added under the presumption of Jrue being around. the pairing of Jrue and Beas makes a ton of sense. Dame + Beas, not so much.

I would expect to see Pat in a salary dump. Bobby not completely safe, though I think it's much less likely given Robin is wholly unplayable.

Lastly - REALLY hope we grab PJ as an end of bench piece. Don't need him to play in a single game, but this team is going to be dependent on vocal leaders the rest of the year...the more the better.

That doesn't bother me that much. But Doc's lack of playoff success does.
