New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Nuggets 6.5 underdogs tonight.

It just dawned on me, the teams I have rooted for have lost a total of 5 comeback games the last week. The Boston-Doc connection?

another good read. Clippers need to make decisions about next year whileStephenA says thatBallmer should give them all one more year and if same outcome he should clean house. Stephen also says PG13 could be the second coming of Dwight Howard

What Were the Los Angeles Clippers?

My arm chair observation is that there isn't much strategy employed by the coaching staff of the Clippers since they had a title coach Tyrone beside Doc. Contrast that to Nick Nurse's Box and 1 zone and Spo's simple zone and it would look like the Clippers were just chasing the ball and often times too late. Doc's method is 13 years outdated, sad to say.

I always like to read some comments on the official Celtics fan page on FB. One fan started to blast coach Stevens by saying he is good only for the regular season, and that Ainge should bring back........DOC.

I think that Steve Ballmer would be open to a deal for Doc !

There have been dozens (hundreds?) of post mortems written about the Clippers.. Seems my Google News page is filled with them!!!

For some reason I have no desire to read them.

The irony is Doc wanted out from Boston and Danny 'traded' him for some picks. Now there's lots of criticism on Brad's inability to solve the Heat's zone, some deal might actually open up, as ridiculous as it might sound.

Danny should stick with Brad.

In pandemic league, writers and sports analysts have nothing much to do but sensationalize things. You tube has tons of these too.

And now there is news of locker room friction between Smart and Jaylen after the game 2 loss. Emotions are high at this point but one analyst did say it was the zone the killed Boston in he second half.

My headphones have gotten a good work out over the past couple of days. Shutting out the bad news. The reality was bad enough. Don't want to rehash it a hundred times.

I hate to be redundant but Doc needs to be replaced.

I agree.

I actually think it is a tirade like this that gets a team motivated
