I hadn't seen these yet, but NBATV did some Open Court episodes with Gentry, Karl, Blatt, Carlisle, Lionel Hollins, and McHale


Those are awesome. I could listen to basketball coaches all day.

Open Court is one of the few shows on NBATV I will watch. Even the ones just with the players are great because they always have interesting stories

Adam Silver said no decision yet, but NBA leaning toward not guaranteeing a playoff spot at all for a division winner.

@ZachLowe_NBA how about guaranteeing a spot for every team in the Southwest division?

If you do that, why not just go 16 team tourney and ditch playoffs by conference? If divisions don't mean anything neither should conferences.

Daryl Morey is the most badass motherfricker in the world. Looking forward to another finish outside the Top 5 for Executive of the Year for my favorite GM.

Given his versatility and how well he plays under Coach Bud, I can't see an instance as to why we wouldn't.

Regular season scheduling would be a nightmare and maybe even impossible.

Kroenke told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday in a phone interview that the Nuggets had been privately trying to help Lawson with his issues for “the past couple of years” and that there had been problems for a long time.

Kroenke said he had repeated conversations with Lawson about his “life struggles,” adding that Lawson often said he would attempt to fix his issues but he could “never fully shake them.”

“He always had an affinity for burning the candle at both ends,” Kroenke said. “We want to give our players freedom to be young guys as well. We’re not going to be drill sergeants. But we want our guys to be able to handle their personal lives on their own.

“Ty … there were times when he was better than others. But the problems have been there for several years, going back to when we were having a lot of on-court success. I don’t want to go back too far. There were just a lot of times where you were at practice and you just know. You could smell it. You know there is probably deeper issues than he would probably let on.”

Kroenke reached a breaking point with Lawson when the guard skipped the Nuggets’ first practice after the NBA All-Star break in February after spending time in Las Vegas. Kroenke said he hadn’t talked to Lawson much since then, but continued to support him. Most of Lawson’s front office communication since the All-Star Break had been with Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly. “I love Ty and will always love Ty, but once I saw him going down this dark path, we knew that we probably were going to end up in a situation where we were dumping him,” Kroenke said. “It creates a weird dynamic.”

Hope the rehab helps him.

Jimmer is the last piece the Spurs needed to make another championship run. All they were missing was a white guy to come off the bench and hit 3's

Honestly, I'd be surprised if he makes the team though. We need a veteran back-up SF
