How can Lakers management think a podcaster who has never had an assistant or head coaching position at the high school, college or NBA level, is a leading candidate for one of the most storied franchises in hoops history?
And he's openly made a big deal about not taking Asst coaching jobs anywhere choosing instead to coach his son's 6th grade club basketball team?
I grew up hearing lake freighters on the St. Mary's River near the Soo Locks in Michigan, exchanging toots with passing ships. This captivating image depicts a freighter navigating through thick fog at sunrise, evoking tranquility & curiosity. Perfect for nautical enthusiasts or lovers of misty mornings.
Professional win for the #Nuggets, 112-103, with a 23-2 run wrapped around the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarters.
On offense, Joker led the way with 29 points, eight boards and seven assists. Murray added 21 points and 10 assists; six Nuggets finished in double figures.
So, you know you have a good day when both teams you support end up winning their respective games. That's what happened a few minutes ago when my #lakers won by 3 against the #Clippers and my #Rams beat the #Niners. It's a great way to end a day.
🇺🇸 US: "The Los Angeles Lakers have listed superstar LeBron James as questionable against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night due to a non-COVID illness."🤦♂️
rememeber that time Doris Burke actually read names out of a phone book? her voice is so dreamy and soothing. still can't believe she used to be a coach.
i still cannot believe Steven A, Kendrick Perkins and what's his name have careers as sports commentators.
what is it with annoying men failing upwards.
btw: Kendrik Perkins reminds of my Tití's boyfriend. he was like a Puerto Rican fun-sized Barry White. i can still smell the jerry curl and goldbond powder.
Some quick infrastructure reboot downtime thoughts on the four California #nba teams after they paired up for a couple of really enjoyable early season games last night, starting with the winners:
The #Lakers are in the same place they were at the end of last year: very good, but unless AD suddenly starts playing consistently on the offensive end, one significant player away from the top tier teams. They missed a bunch of their role players last night, but they won't move the playoff needle.🧵
