Did Bob Hill, the previous coach, dirt as well: made him go through the wretched season to ensure the best chances in the “lottery” then ashcanned him and replaced him with himself as soon as they knew they got Robinson.

Wemby is certainly something to behold.

If not the Celticsโ€ฆthe Spurs seem fun to watch. I am glad to see Luke Kornet barking on the court.

As a Celtics fan, it is compulsory to say, โ€œF the knicks.โ€

(Although I like KAT and Brunson. They seem like decent enough guys.)

Holgrum sold out too! Helped out zero!
Was a thin, scared, sucking his thumb in the corner pansy last night.
Totally over rated player.
SAS came to play and kicked OKC to the curb on their own court.

Thunder had two important players out with injuries.

That said, Spurs will beat the Knickโ€™s in 4 or 5.

Nahhh...I don’t think injuries had much to do with it. Spurs are better and wanted it more. Popabitch is gone, I can tolerate Spurs again. (Even though they cheated, along with ref Tommy Nunez, the Suns out of a title in 2007.

Wemby a generational talent.

Holgrum needs to beef up.
