<<{{Official 2019-2020 NBA Thread - the season returns July 31-October 12. }}>
Seeing how the Sixers are playing this year makes me appreciate Minnesota Butler even more. Had he stayed with us, I could see a news story coming out about him sonning Joel and Simmons with a bunch of 3 string nobodies and being pissed that the team isn't giving their all every night. That might be exactly what we need right now.I fucks with Butler. In every place he's balled. I just don't fuck with Minnesota Butler.
Jimmy's only real basketball beef revolve around players who don't go 100% every night. The man is all effort, all the time. I can't be mad at him for that.
This past summer cats was portraying him as a defensive liability.
No wonder Skip dont bring up "defensive rating"
There's someone in the top 5 of that list that majority of BGOL will disagree with due to a YouTube clip years ago

People can improve
let's not pretend he didn't have 3 years worth of highlights where he just absolutely did not play any defense and didn't even try.
People improve
remember that the next time you trot out the "Curry don't play defense" thing from around the same year you're referencing with that YouTube clip
Props to his work in music and branding and his overall hustle... But i listened to the entire segment with him. He sounds fucking clueless when the discussion turned to specifics. Cat slicked talked his way into some more bread tho.
I listened to it in full as well and that's why I said what I said
This shit is going to be fun to watch I guess?
They're already distancing themselves from his statement. But if you're the knicks I guess trying to hire basketball people didn't work so hire someone else?
I dont know but I'm here for it.
The main thing is the reason Knicks aren't good is because nobody cares about playing in New York.
The knicks don't have any history of being good to the talent that's coming out now.
They don't fuck with the person who owns the team.
So even if you get past the first two hurdles if I'm a rival team I'm just going to point out how he kicked out Charles Oakley after Oakley was a part of the only winning the franchise had done in the last 30 years.
Then ask them if they want that for them after giving up their career to be there to?
Not surprised. He didnt seem to know what his actual role was, limitations, or expectations. Guy was just up there spit balling and talking to hear himself talk.

Like his usual interviews
It's so fascinating to hear the dude who you tune out if you around the way
be on tv and actually make it past the front gate to do the same shit
It's not that he grossly improved, it's more that he wasn't a terrible defender as the clip made him out to be. I'll continue to say that you can make a 2 minute YouTube clip of almost any NBA player not playing defense every year.
We can all agree that there's a large consensus of fans/critics that doesn't like his game offensively so that clip trashing him defensively only helped fuel the hate for his overall game.

I don't know about Larry man......I think Larry need some young kids to coach. These guys need that voice you gotta respect. I was sort of thinking Mark Jackson.
Anyone that uses that stat as a way to say Harden is a top 5 defender....gonna get shut down with the quickness if they think Harden and Leonard are of the same caliber defensively.There's someone in the top 5 of that list that majority of BGOL will disagree with due to a YouTube clip years ago
Yeah I looked him up and he'll be 80 this year.
Damn time flies!
Larry is too old to be the same coach that he was. We need that young Larry.
That was a hell of a block by Horford
JRich balling
76ers Clippers got some terrible refing going on
For the life of me I can't understand how the Sixers can't beat anybody on the road but are absolutely unbeatable at home. Never seen no shit like this.
Where the fuck does this go on the road? It's like watching two different teams anytime we leave Philly.
Damn he casually jumped
They are fraudulent at the moment.
They have not improved at all since the beginning of the season. And with no primary point guard, I can’t see them being successful with Leonard and PG doing majority of the ball handling.
They are a very predictable team with huge defensive shortcomings against teams that’s gaurd oriented.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with the way that the Clippers play. They’re playing hard and I hope that they keep playing the exact same way...
The Clippers don't LOOK like frauds, them muthafuckas ARE frauds. Them losing in the 1st round would do so much justice for the league. They really think they're about to just not play together all season and somehow put it all together in the playoffs. If they do that and make it to Finals or even the WCF the entire West Conference is fraudulent.
Smh. As a long-time Knick fan.. That whole trade was a disgrace.
Lakers/Rob Polinka offered the Knicks/Steve Mills Kyle Kuzma AND Danny Green... for Marcus Morris.
Steve Mills got too damn greedy & insisted on getting 2 second-round draft picks IN ADDITION.
His greed killed the whole deal.
Take Kuzma for Morris... Done.
Send the paperwork before Polinka changes his mind.
No need to involve ANY draft picks.
Even Dallas was willing to be a 3rd-team in the deal & take Danny Green... and his salary... yet Steve Mills STILL fucked it up.
If they had announced that (3-way) trade... Everybody wins.
There was no need to involve MULTIPLE draft picks in this situation. Just make the simple trade.
- The Lakers get a rugged Vet, who can score & shoot 3's... with Playoff experience... to satisfy their 'win now' agenda.
- The Knicks get a dynamic young Player... only in his 3rd year... who is just as good as (if not better than) a BRAND NEW draft pick.
- The Mavericks get a Deep Threat.. who can play defense... hit open 3's... who has 2 rings & a championship pedigree.
And package up draft picks with OTHER Knick players, if need be.
Instead of getting Kuzma (and possibly Green)... we got a benchwarmer + a late first-round draft pick.
Ridiculous.
Damn Knicks should've hopped on that deal. That first round pick ain't worth a shit....damn. Its like niggas want to help the Clippers.
