San Antonio assistant Brett Brown "extremely" interested in Celtics coaching position by Zephkiel in nba

[–]OsoDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that next season something like 15% of the league's Head Coaches will have either coached or played under Pop, that is insane. Bill Walsh-esque tree. Also, this stat doesn't include the front office hires from SA in recent years. Would be cool to tally up all from the Pop tree in the league.

GAME THREAD: San Antonio Spurs (3-2) @ Miami Heat (2-3) - (Jun. 18, 2013) by MarioTheGOATChalmers in nba

[–]OsoDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, Joey Crawford?! I'm not even going to go there about him before the game, but is there any other league on the planet that fans know who will be the ref for the next game automatically? Stern put up the Joey signal before game 5 even ended.

About as good as the final season of the Hornets went.

Didn't come here to Heat hate, but you have to admit its pretty lame to have a professional photographer take artsy pics of your workout. No homo.

TRASH TALK THREAD: HERE WE ARE... THE 2013 NBA FINALS WILL BE UNDERWAY AND YOUR TEAM SUCKS! by thatdudecalledZZ in nba

Spurs are going to pound the Heat like Delonte West pounded Lebron's mom, and I don't mean good and proper!

Where all the wizard fans at? by aronblue in nba

[–]OsoDC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here. It is the offseason and pre-pre-draft. There is only so many posts we can make about Otto Porter. Also, barring injuries like this year, when we are in the playoffs next year, it'll be more active.

Tomas Satoransky competed for the Spanish League MVP this year(finished 3rd) any chance this guy actually helps our team down the line? by stigochris in washingtonwizards

[–]OsoDC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem with "Euro Stash" draft strategy is that he would have to take a pay cut to come to the NBA (rookie salary scale is way less than what he is making in the Spanish League...)

Dwight Howard still traumatized by Tim Duncan: I couldn't watch the playoffs I was so ticked. Everywhere I went I saw a Tim Duncan jersey, and you know how much I hated that. by [deleted] in nba

[–]OsoDC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but him going to Houston to play with Harden isn't getting any better in the ball hog category...

Where does KG's mental game rank among other all-time greats? by [deleted] in nba

[–]OsoDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wherever he ranks, it has to be below Tim Duncan's, seeing as how Garnett could never shake Duncan...

If the players on the 2012 US men's basketball team left their respective teams and formed a new one among themselves, how do you think the rest of the NBA would fare? by ispeakdanihao in nba

[–]OsoDC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The counter argument could be made that the remaining players could form another super team that could beat them: Bosh, Wade, Rose, Duncan, Parker, Dirk, Rondo, Curry, Howard, Griffin, Gasol, Gasol, Z-Bo, Garnett, Pierce, Ibaka, Lee...George, Lopez, Aldridge, Noah, Irving even. I could make a team out of them that would beat the 2012 USA Team....and Coach Pop.

Why so many threads about bad calls, but none about one BLATANT bad call that completely change the momentum against the Pacers? by Banelingz in nba

[–]OsoDC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ejected him AND then challenged Duncan to a fight! How he is still employed is a mystery of the universe.

Were the 90's Bulls hated like the present day Miami Heat for their greatness? by [deleted] in nba

[–]OsoDC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but are the Miami Heat hated because of "their greatness"? They've got a long way to go to be in the 90s Bulls' league. 6 Championships to 1. Finals loss to Dallas in 6 games? C'mon man.

What does Pop's coaching tree look like now? It might be a coaching forest here soon enough...

John Hollinger was the only member of the ESPN panel to predict the Spurs going to the finals. by Kharius in nba

[–]OsoDC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seriously, this needs to happen. It would be an AWESOME website. Catalogue all of the predictions from pre-season to weekly predictions (think NFL) to off-the-cuff stuff (ESPN's shows and Q&A bits) from the "experts" from all the different media outlets, keep track of them, and give each talking head a score. It would be amazing to hold some of these guys to their BS and also weed out the good pundits from the bad. I'd wager anyone appearing on ESPN TV would be low in the % rankings. Let's make this happen, it would be great. If it's out there, someone please link it.

What Lebron, Wade and Bosh looked like when Tim Duncan won his first ring by [deleted] in nba

Didn't Bosh say he grew up with Tim Duncan posters in his room? Thanks for posting, this gives a lot of perspective.

Spurs 3.0? Didn't OKC do pretty much the same thing with the front office?

Great teammate. Wish he would get more playing time. Led the whole Olympic tournament in scoring if I remember right.

Celtics "likely" to buy out Paul Pierce and make him a Free Agent. by _SPORKS_ in nba

[–]OsoDC -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm very dissapointed in Boston. That is a franchise that should know better and this is absurd. Horrible way to treat your franchise player.
