    Trying to figure out how grumpy little man Gilbert keeps getting the #1 pick in Lottery

    He should be able to draft an entire starting 5 with the number of #1's and other 1st round draft picks he's had over past 3 years

    Oh and hiring Mike Brown back was comical...I'm sure he will duplicate those 50+ win seasons without a problem.

    I love how he said they're one player away from returning to past success. Yeah, I doubt one player from a weak NBA draft would have really helped a, what was it? 24 win season? You might have won 30 games.

    He's actually correct in that statement

    They are one player away from returning to past success. Unfortunately that one player is 1,200 miles away and plays for the Miami Heat lol.

    And there isn't a player in this draft that will have that impact in the next 1-2 years. But if they keep repeating their trend...they will have a starting 4-5 of #1 draft picks, which would be fun to watch

    Well played!

    Yeah, this year's draft is thoroughly unimpressive. Definitely not any major big name players/instant franchise changers like years past.

    Yeah, unlike the NFL draft, you can almost IMMEDIATELY see whether or not someone is going to be a huge success in the NBA or not.

    Nuggets and George Karl part ways? How often does that happen to the current Coach of the Year?

    I like George Karl, but while Denver was incredible damn near every year in the regular season, they sucked ass in the post season. As the story says:

    It was the eighth time in Karl's nine playoff appearances with Denver that the Nuggets had been ousted in the first round.
    You just can't have a playoff record like that and expect to be kept around for very long. Better coaches have been fired for much less in recent years. I hate to see him go, but Denver was clearly never going to do anything in the playoffs under Karl.

    Rodman:
    "It's really not a comparison. If LeBron was playing in the late '80s and early '90s, he would be just an average player

    And Rodman is absolutely correct.

    Dunnp if I agree with him on that one. Not sure he would be as dominant as he has shown flashes of, but can't say he would just be "average"

    He wouldn't even be top 10. Only thing he has going for him is his ballhandling skills for a forward. Funny thing is, there were about 5 exactly like him in the 80s and 90s, the best of which was Larry Bird (not nearly as athletic as James, but FAR better shooter, post player, rebounder, and passer).

    Those 3 pointers will just kill you. 16 of them will bury you and put flowers on your grave. I was switching between this and US Soccer and every time I would flip back to the Spurs game, boom, 3 pointer.

    Just amazing how in the finals a team gets bitchslapped, then comes back with a harder bitchslap the very next game. Baby Bron Bron, 3rd straight game under 20 points.

    We better win Sunday. Which is annoying that they have to wait 3 days to get to the next game with no travel involved. Plus the DVR is on the fritz so I have to flip between the game and The Killing/Mad Men.

    I've been saying that the entire playoffs. The scheduling of this year's playoffs have been stupid as hell. Sure, I understand they'd rather play on Sunday night than Saturday night, better ratings that way, but it's still stupid. Multiple times this postseason, teams have had to wait three or four days just because the NBA wanted a certain team or matchup to be played on a certain night. Stupid as hell and completely fuckers the momentum the teams build up throughout the series.
