Do you get a warning for illegal substitution? Especially after you were already allowed to correct the lineup?

it leaked yesterday afternoon locally, but was unconfirmed. the same report had Billups saying no, btw. the early talk here is that the "Jays" either picked him or approved him and everyone's wondering if that's good or bad, know'm'sayin'?

it is an interesting move. I haven't followed him a ton, but i know he was with the Sixers before going to the Nets. Came in highly thought of from San Antonio, but he came in with the Al Horford deal and was let go when Brett Brown was let go. Only here for a year, and the reports when he came here were glowing, and needless to say when Brett was let go no one was saying anything about Udoka to stay with the org.
Seems like a heck of a dice roll. Maybe the C's think he can connect better with the players and get through to them, but i know when he was with the Sixers the team chemistry was one of the worst it has been in a long time

I feel as though it’s more beneficial to the offense in that scenario though.
If you mean the Clippers got time to plan their heave (when they couldn’t figure out who was supposed to be out there) then I can’t disagree, but Phoenix’s freebie was much more impactful.

Yeah, great point. Especially with goaltending out of the picture, there is really no excuse to let that happen.
I'm not sure that anyone on the Clippers team was aware that goaltending was out of the picture
Eventually Durant will find a way to join the team and everyone will hate them too.

just go ahead and sign him to a 2x max contract
the Ford family can cover the penalty costs

very Suns-y sitch here. they can see what they got for a year and, when Blake's contract goes off the books, have enough for two max contracts in '22-23 (if they find a trade partner for Plumlee's last season) or, instead, get the best value of the first-contract crop (Collins, Markaanen, Jarrett Allen or Richaun Holmes) and seal-the-deal the next year with a 2nd-contract guy like the Suns did with CP3. Bey's your Mikal Bridges (almost literally), you can find out if Stewart is a 4 or 5 and if his ceiling is higher next season, you already know that Jerami Grant was a steal and can 3rd-option a playoff team ('20 Nuggets) and will have a good idea how CadeKill will mesh. that's a pretty good spot - i'd honestly rather be a Pistons fan than a Sixers fan right now, tho that's mostly so i don't have to spend time with other Sixer fans. GL - have fun!
ETA: my lone worry is that Casey is a PG-whisperer - which should be good for CadeKill's development - but wonder if that might keep him from embracing a backcourt of two 6'5+ guys

I think they wanted someone that the players could potentially push around a little bit and someone that could have a better connection with than they did with Stevens. Stevens is great with younger players that want to take to coaching, IMO, the youngsters in BOS had gotten to the point where they were just not going to listen to or respect Brad anymore. Stevens was better suited for the college game than dealing with diva-like personalities in the Association.
Not sure who else would have been a consideration, but brining in a strong willed hard liner coach probably would have made things worse. If Udoka can better relate to the players than Stevens did, that would probably help. However, the big unknown will be if there were issues between Stevens and his players (which there apparently were), will they hold a grudge with him getting kicked upstairs and not love / rebel against his personnel moves heading forward.
If the C's players wanted a coach to just let them play and have the coach only in the periphery, maybe Udoka will turn out to be that guy and a decent hire. I don't think many people know all that much about him, so he will definitely be a work in progress.

Congrats to the Piston fans on the #1 pick. Question though - is Cade the definite pick and do people see him as a lock to be a star (not even superstar)? I watched the kid play like twice so I have very little to go on - in one game he was pretty studly but the other game he was average. My bigger point was in neither game did I feel like I was watching the next NBA stud and curious what Detroit (and other) fans think.

He seems to be the most complete player of the bunch. I don't think any of them are a lock to be a star, so he makes the most sense of what is there.

That's fabulous news for the Clippers. They need someone with a history of choking to offset Paul George.

They have no choice at this point. I mean if your someone who thinks Ben can turn this around sure don't trade him for nothing but we're at the point I think there's no turning back and the team NEEDS TO TRADE HIM THIS OFFSEASON. Yeah you don't want to trade him for nothing but at the same time he needs to be traded.Thunderlips said:

You aren't wrong. I remember 8 or so years ago they were gonna do something about players flopping and giving them Technical fouls and fines for it. Then they realized their prized Possession Lebron AKA LeFlop did it and so did many other stars and I haven't seen one player since T'd up or fined.modogg said:

What makes it worse is these NBA teams giving max contracts to these guys. I'd refuse to give these guys Max or super Max deals. It might have me have me trade these guys or lose out on certain FA's but at least my cap and team won't be hamstrung by their deficiencies and contracts. On top of that when it's someone like Ben Simmons who refuses to get better why would you want that on your team and in your locker room? That just scream "all about me" and selfishness.Judge Smails said:

I'm still on the guy on Facebook yesterday I saw that Anything less then Ben Simmons for Damian Lillard and 2 1st rounders is unacceptable for the sixers.msudaisy26 said:

Not Surprising Chris Broussard will defend Lebron and Ben Simmons to death.modogg said:
And Honestly I'm all for mental health but there's a a lot more to Osaka's situation. This all started after she decided she was representing Japan in the Olympics instead of the US. She then refused to answer any questions on the situation. Now after being fined by the WTA she claims she needs to step away for mental health. I'm not saying she's lying but it's kind of conveniently done right before the Olympics. So you can see why someone people are calling bull
As for Ben he's always been selfish and me first dating back to his younger days. It has nothing to do with mental health for Ben. He's just selfish and stubborn. There were reports at LSU of him refusing extra practice reps from his Uncle a coach there at LSU. Nd then then theres the whole reason he chose LSU over big time Basketball programs because he wanted to be the only star and not share the basketball spotlight. So for Ben and Mental Healthy here I'm gonna call BS especially when another report says he threw a temper-tantrum after Brett Brown called him out Brown's last season with the team.

Allow booth reviews for only certain plays, maybe the refs shouldn't suck as much to begin with and maybe do NBA rule of teams get two challenges if they successful on both get a bonus. If they lose the challenge it's a timeout lost

Hearing Kenny Smith talk about when he/the Houston Rockets were champions their attitude was 'we are the champs. You're going to have to beat us' (paraphrased)
I'm betting that in the back of his mind he was thinking 'Hey Michael (Jordan), keep trying to hit that curveball.'

Thats a hell of a hire and I said the Sixers had their coach right under them as he was a former Assistant under Brett Brown. He was in the running for the Bulls HC job until Billy Donovan suddenly became available

Hey now, the Rockets were there in the '95 Finals waiting for the Bulls, but MJ was back and could only get the Bulls to the 2nd round.

Thad Young won the 2020-2021 NBA Hustle Award. I didn’t know that was a thing.

I love the guy but he has to get Bogdanovic out of there - he's a liability, can't defend and can't shoot.
ETA - you already have Young who is a defensive liability. If Reddish can't go we are screwed because Hill sucks.

was worried that he'd be a big factor, but his knee cannot feel good. best to let him rest and fight another day.

if Giannis goes to the line for 2 and he makes the first one, i'd rather he fire the next one off the front of the rim, fight for the rebound and dunk it on somebody's neck.
probably net zero points either way, but no nuts, no glory.

It was obvious in the Sixers series something wasn't right but I don't think anyone thought he was this hurt. Trae and Collins need to play 40 min a game for us to have a chance.
