BTW....that play LBJ had last night was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. Think it may have been kind of an accident but man that was sweet.
Yes BR, he did not mean to go through Thompson’s legs lol. He admitted it already.

Posted that before I heard his interview on my drive home. Didn't think he could intentionally do it but for his mystique he should've lied. lol
That dunk by Nance was ridiculous. Also ridiculous, 73 points for Denver.
Does their defense just magically approve in the playoffs?

Some, but not enough to win it all
Shoot 52% and lose by 9 to the Chicken Nuggets
Defense sucked all season. Traded half the team, defense still sucks. Sounds like a huge coaching issue to me.
Larry Nance Jr 18/10 at the half
Nice
I think we will see:
With Osman, Hood, Clarkson and Korver getting the rotation minutes. Tristan maybe depending on matchup. I think we see LeBron at the 4 to close games. Nance likely the 5, unless Love is hot

Bleh on Smith
Jesus lol Blake Griffin bringing the ball up every possession. Ridiculous how bad the guard play is for Detroit

I'm over JR Smith.

Same with TT. If the trade deadline wasn't over, I'd say ship him off for a Season 3 box set of "Keeping up with the Kardashians." It's astounding how bad they are when he's in the lineup and how good they are when he's not.

Also shows how terrible of a coach Lue is. If this doesn’t convince him that TT needs his minutes heavily reduced than I don’t know what will.

Lue seems a lot like Tito Francona to me. Loyal to the end with his veterans. If Lue can't see that Nance brings a whole new level of energy, which seems to rub off on the whole team (especially Lebron), he doesn't deserve to coach.
TT was either playing injured or was very disinterested. Either way, he shouldn't be playing under those circumstances.

I would never compare Lue to Tito. That's way too big of a compliment. All Lue needs to do is look back at that winning streak they had earlier in the season. TT was not a part of that streak. Now look at what happens when he doesn't play. Time to give up on TT Lue. He is done.

The fact that they are both loyal to veterans is where the similarities end. Lue may have rode the coattails of Lebron & Kyrie to a ring but he's in way over his head as a HC.
Lue to Francona?
I’d go more towards Dusty Baker

This. Francona is a great manager and shouldn’t be in the same ballpark as Dusty or Lue.
K-Love and mental health....

You guys crack me up. I make mention that both Lue & Francona are loyal to their veterans and suddenly I'm comparing them as equal coaching peers? Not even close. Francona is a proven professional. Lue is an assistant who "lucked" into Lebron James. They're loyal to their vets. That's where the comparison ends.

I knew what you were saying, but I can't stand by and let somebody mention Lue and Francona in the same breath lol.

Yeah, I get it. Without LBJ, Lue's probably not a HC in the league.
18-3 without Thompson playing.
