    i also named billups and cited the ft%, thanks darvin. he probably doesn't get there, but you can squint and see it.

    like that he focuses primarily on defense for both, though. send that message early and often. so glad russ is gone, so that it's not undermined by several veterans at every practice...

    We finally got him... took like 10 years. I remember someone pining for him back in 2012 or some such...

    Vando doesn’t look smaller than Hayes in this clip- he’s a long dude.

    Good listen. Part 2 should be out Thursday.

    Biggest takeaway from this one: He really didn't like Kerr saying they flopped in that series.

    HA!! You expect him or Vogel last year after the season and being fired as the fall guy for that miserable trade to bring up anything on the negative side? No of course not. They'll always only talk about the positive, and sure .... he had his moments. Unless we had Doc Rivers for a coach. The proof is out there how his game and the "Russ being Russ" experience is valued by the league, as we told you would happen. Not one team even ponied up a TPMLE offer for that "experience".

    Because the players and so on see the person first, the player 2nd. I imagine he's a great teammate. Super positive, not jealous ever, always smiling and having a good attitude. Things you appreciate in a person, specially in such a competitive environment where most of the people are using you or trying to take advantage or get more than you.

    Now fans only see the end product and the reality is that he sucks, he's not aware of his limitations and it's very hard to win relevant games with him, if not impossible

    Classy coach, and always seems to be focused on the positives

    when you can turn the Westbrook disaster into a shout out, you’re in a good place.

    Dude has a ton of genuine positive energy, and has to be feeling real damn good about what he accomplished last year considering the total arc of the season and roster.

    Despite all my moaning and groaning about his lineups I feel really good about what he did and glad he is our coach. Completely agree with you and Sirron.
