At some points tweeted inside information, and tweeted disparagingly about Sixers players.
It doesn't matter because their cap holds put them over. They will have to likely trade fur him.
How about firing the coach? For better or worse, that's what locked in teams do quite often, and in this case, it seems to make a bunch of sense. Is Thibs owed a bunch of money that MIN is too cheap to pay? That's the only reason I could see that they'd keep him around.
Not just inside information but medical information on players. HIPAA violations potentially.
That's defnitely what I would do. Granted, you run the risk of him getting hot by giving him open looks which would make GS unstoppable again. But him not getting hot appears to be likely.
I know everyone's favorite comment, but this really depends on how they call the series.
Consiering the owner has a long track record of giving coaches far more chances than they deserve (other than Casey), I don't see him cutting bait on Thibs anytime soon.He's still owed $24M of a 5yr/$40M contract and just lead them to the playoffs for the first time in 95 years.I don't think firing him makes enough sense to overcome that.
I think he overplays his players to an almost comical degree and has made some questionable decisions as GM but I doubt the owner is willing to call it all a failure and start over again, especially as it sends the wrong message to Butler and Townes who they need to re-sign soon. Actually, who knows, maybe Townes would welcome such a move given the recent reports of turmoil in the organization.
That Wiggins contract is ridiculous and, what's worse, they seemed to know it as soon as they offered it to him. You've convinced me, Thibs should be fired
I think if you were ever going to bet on the Cavs on the road tonight is the night. The Warriors have been lack luster in their last 4ish games, the Cavs are going to slow the game down and ISO everything, and Iggy is out.
Let's see...potentially running the superstar you're going to build the team around for the next 12 years and probably end up paying $300 million over the course of his career to "save" $24 million dollars or firing the guy. Seems like an easy choice. The $24 million is a sunk cost, Towns health isn't.He's still owed $24M of a 5yr/$40M contract and just lead them to the playoffs for the first time in 95 years.I don't think firing him makes enough sense to overcome that.

LeBron's worst games this postseason have been game 1 iirc so there's that.
I am not buying the game 1 jinx. 2 of the games were blow out losses and LeBron has shown us a few times that he will conserve some energy during blow outs, the game 1 against the Raptors he had a poor shooting night, but was good every where else, including only 1 turnover.
I've never understood this sentiment. LeBron went for 35/13/8 in 2015 when Iggy won the FMVP.
Going by my betting prowess everyone should probably bet everything on the Warriors tonight.
The numbers say that, but I remember watching those finals in 2015 and Iggy did slow him down. I am on my phone so hard to look up the stats, but I think he shot like 35 percent for the series and had almost as many turnovers as assists.
The A/TO ratio wasn't quite that bad, but otherwise you're remembering correctly. That was the one where they lost Irving in Game 1 after losing Love earlier in the playoffs so LeBron's usage rate was around 157%.
it's getting messier by the day, 6'ers need to jump in before this week is out. they have connected the accounts to some commentors who have given way too much information as well:
the NBA Gods are evil... why could this not be Danny Ainge and the Celtics!!!!!!!!!
The idea that his wife ran the accounts sounds plausible. Unfortunately for him I don’t think that helps his case for continued employment at all.
Whether it's his wife, son or dad, he should and probably did know about it. If he didn't, then he's an idiot and needs to go. No one will believe he knew nothing anyway.
def shouldn't. when he finds out and all 3 accounts turn private in an hour or so, it certainly would seem to indicate that he had a a part to play
Yes, his usage rate was through the roof, but didn't shoot for his season average a single game in the series. He shot 48.8% form the floor that season, but never hit that in a single game (shot under 40% in four games). He shot 35.4% from three that season, yet only hit that once in a finals game.
Yup, I think we're all on the same page. LeBron's per game point/assist/rebound totals didn't really do justice to Iguodala's value in that series.Bull Dozier said:
