I'm "Celtics18and19", on the blog front page.
I remember chatting with you a few times while we were both on SS and R. I haven't posted there in a few months, though. Last time I was actively on SS and R was during their Ultimate Draft last summer-fall.
I think the Bass-Davis trade worked out for both teams. Glen Davis played his behind off in the playoffs. I was impressed with his play vs Hibbert.
Oh yeah! I remember now!
The Kobe era has REALLY worn out its welcome on me. The Lakers just get more repulsive every year. Andrew Bynum has become such a space case, Laker fans are warming up to trading him. And then there's Metta Class Clown. Oh, how I've grown to hate this gigantic cockroach. He's violent, he's unstable, and he's also a sore loser, saying the Lakers were the better team after being eliminated. And yet the Laker fanbase continues to cherish him and has no interest in letting him go. So I've lost respect for the Lakers as a whole because of it. And I am not posting another comment on SSR until major changes occur.
Deep breath...
The Magic were foolish to get rid of Stan Van Gundy. He's a great coach, and I hope the Clips grab him and put VDN out to pasture. He knows a lot more about how to motivate his players to play at a high level than Frank Vogel ever could.
The hilarious thing with Kobe is that he is STILL defiant...he won't concede that changes need to be made for LA.
I guess that that is part of what makes him great, though.
I can see SVG coaching in the NBA again. As you stated, he is still a great coach.
How about YOUR CAVS, though? Gotta love Kyrie. He's a special talent. Don't find his kind too often. Plus, if you all mess arounnd and get that 1st pick in the lottery - imagine Kyrie, Anthony Davis, and Andy V?
And how about Uncle Drew?

But would that surprise you? lol
