Another guy who had a good career but always left with shouldn't he have been better?
I remember watching some smaller guys try to defend him like JR Smith and he shrugged them off like he was like Lebron

 

Koloko has been cleared!

Woot woot woot!! Now can he score too and shoot 3s like Huff?

 

Good luck to the young man, that's a scary medical condition to be dealing with, for us normal folks. It could have ended his career, like with Chris Bosh. Praying for him to stay healthy.

Joe Mazzulla: NBA Should Have a Powerplay and Bring Back Fighting
Author Kyle Fabrizio
October 29th 12:46 PM



On Tuesday’s edition of Zolak and Bertrand, Joe Mazzulla who’s the Head Coach of the Boston C Bags, joined the show. While hypothesizing some changes that the NBA should make, Mazzulla floated around the idea of the NBA instituting a powerplay, and also bringing back fighting.

“I Wish You Could Bring Back Fighting...”
Bertrand: All right, let’s pretend we’re in an alternate universe for a second. Years from now in the NBA, we’ve been kicking around some proposed rule changes in the league.

Joe Mazzulla: I love this.

Bertrand: Credit to Nick Wright, who has talked a lot about this on his show, and we played a clip from him earlier. How would the game change if the corner three was taken away and the arc went to the sidelines? I don’t know. Let’s call it seven, eight feet from the baseline. What happens if the corner three disappears?

Joe Mazzulla: First of all, is let’s entertain more important rules that would make the game better.

Bertrand: We could do that too. What do you got? You have some proposals.

Zolak: Come on.

Joe Mazzulla: Hey, I mean, basketball is one of the only sports that doesn’t have a power play. I think soccer just put in the ‘blue card’ where a Guy has to go off and it’s a 10 on 9. Like we should have a power play. Because let’s say you have a technical or let’s say you get a take foul, and you get the one shot, but you’re not really you’re not really rewarded for that because if you miss it, you don’t get the reward for that take foul. So there should be like a power play where on a take foul or on a technical, you have to play five on four for five seconds or three passes.
Bertrand: Or what about for an entire possession? What if for the entire possession, it’s five on four.

Joe Mazzulla: I mean, that might be a little extreme, but I think we should institute power plays where instead of taking the ball out on the side, the guy goes to the other side of halfcourt and he can’t leave it until like three seconds.

 

word. just like bronny, this is very serious stuff. i hope these guys can just live and do what they love.

oh give me a f***ing break.

and whatever, we can't prove their internal policy if it's not written, but embiid was most certainly just stating the truth about their unspoken policies.

i don't care. just don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

just don't schedule those teams for national tv games--and attach a bigger bonus for being scheduled to national tv games. i promise if there was a policy that if your two highest paid players don't play 65 games the previous season limited your eligibility for high dollar issues, the internal policies would change overnight.

this guy is certifiably nuts and incredibly lucky his management built the perfect team for this era and nobody got hurt.

that said, i saw someone else (another crazy person, tbf) assert this a while back in terms of a solution to the slowdown from FTAs/the foul out issue. and it's not totally crazy. but the game would change fundamentally.

i've pushed the changes on the corner three for years, but my solution is expand the court size instead just just cutting off the arc. that's less revolutionary than the power play, though.

and let me reiterate: the power play exists in games with goalies, which according to my dad are b******* sports.

 

You mean a coach who religiously watches The Town (a phenomenal movie) wants to see more fighting in that's game.

 

Poor kid is cursed.

 

Westbrook scored 22 points and 2 for 2 on 3 's
Do it, Mitch
P.S.Nuggets will play back to back OT

 

a broken clock is still right twice a day

 

He's either going to Main C Bags G- League or Real Madrid in Euro league
