Mozgov has been huge. But, Lebron has really upped his game. He is in a class by himself compared to the current NBA rosters. He has added a nice turn around and started playing more gritty, which is great to see in blue collar Cleveland. He might not be a Jordan, but he brings emotions to the game.

Glad to see Cleveland and GS in the finals. Something new, even though the Spurs didn't make it in.

51 wins two seasons after 23 wins? He never got a chance. You don't fire 51 wins. If that were the standard everyone lived to, 99% of us would be fired.

It's not unheard of for a good coach of a good team to be fired, if management does not think that the coach is a championship-caliber coach. One example sticks out in my head: In March 2000, the New Jersey Devils, who were then in first place in the Eastern Conference, fired Robbie Ftorek and hired Larry Robinson as their head coach. The result? Three months later, the Devils won the Stanley Cup.

Bulls fire coach Thibs, as expected (front office fueding with him). I think it’s a mistake.

I saw that. Yes, big mistake. Stupid.

Speaking of stupid: Ray McDonald. Or is it something more?

It’s still a head scratcher that those teams never won, or even made it to the NBA Finals. What talent.

Makes sense. While it has happened you don’t really see basketball players constantly being accused of things like this, as you would if it was just a Black thug thing. It could be a brain damage thing.

Your argument would make perfect sense, if Kerr didn’t get the Warriors to the finals. But, since Kerr got them to the finals it can be argued successfully that you are wrong and that it was right to let Jackson go. Nothing does more damage to the poor folks in this country than liberal social policies, but try to stop the ‘spending and giveaways’ and it’s argued successfully that you are ‘mean’ and like poor people. Life sucks sometimes, my friend. Heck, as long as were on the topic, I would have never got rid of Hue Jackson.

I vote brain damage. Football players’ brains must look like badly scrambled eggs after a few years, especially the linemen.

so we have a bunch of thugs, owned and managed by faggots, playing a game that no civilized person cares about.

Your ignorance is breathtaking if you think this is what the Golden State Warriors represent. Do some research before you spout nonsense moronically....
