Don't sleep on winners/Marshall racks with a quick tailor, the suits will limit the next generation of coaches thinking they can never get their because their parents/fam don't have the money to buy suits... A polo and a clipboard is accessible for everyone from any walk of life

Let's the coaches who want to wear a suit make that choice

SGA is all classy. At the end of the game for the interview he had all his team's players around him and is composed. He looks like a great leader. He'll be OKC for life you guys can forget about stealing him in free agency. Doncic is..."oh my gosh, incedental contact and I'm not in peak shape, so I'm gonna flail my arms like a whiny little ****!

I'm so thankful I don't have to wear suits. Especially in summer. I would be soaked with sweat. hahah

Haslim makes a good point

Udonis spitting truth. I wonder if he'll ever appear on ESPN again, I didn't think criticism of Lebron was allowed on there.

1000%. Reddick will end up like Steve Nash, a scapegoat. This is not veteran championship team with strong leaders in the locker room. I’m a Lakers fan and hiring Lebron’s boy is idiotic.

So much dirty laundry being aired right now in Cleveland.

Nothing will top the "Masai to the Wizards" rumour as our guys were literally hoisting the LOB.

JJ would be nuts to take that Lakers job, unless he just wants the money.

Their best player is 39 years old, their 2nd best player is in his 30s with injury issues, they have no top young talent and few draft picks. It just a treadmill job with very little potential.

Yes, the Lakers are a draw, but nobody great hits free agency anymore. You need to trade for stars now and they'd get outbid by almost everyone.

He will be get no credit if they win, all the blame if they lose. There will be better opportunities to win if he waits.

Yeah the leak of rumors about Jarret Allen not taking a pain shot to try to play, was a low blow. A bad look.

It’s happened to every team that didn’t reach its expectations in the playoffs.

Ruthless business lol.

A job is a job. These head coaching opportunities don’t always come around. I agree it’s going to be a mess but it’s good to have on the resume even when it doesn’t work out.

Plus JJ loves the spotlight.

Does it shine brighter than LA?

Just checked the boxscore. She seems to be really having an adjustment period so far. Really rough first two games.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I'd still watch if she was on TV.

I never thought much about the WNBA before so it just dawned on me this year that unlike the guys, the college women go right to pro training camp and games just a couple of months after the NCAA tournament

Suits making a come back next season. Way better


Costumes - Nick Nurse wearing a chicken outfit yelling out plays to the team would be f’n hilarious :lol:

Honestly, who gives a **** what they wear. Just get the job done.

Suits - What have we gone back to the 1930’s and this is Mad Men.


Mad Men was set in the 1960's.
