god mark jackson is such a tool

just think abt how hes being forced to announce the team he got fired from for being a dick roll to a title lol

lol i forgot abt that, hope he works their championship clinching game

Feel like this is espn's way of trying to torment him, like yeah we'll give your old job back btw u r gonna call the games of your old team while they show how bad you were cool?

gotta be even worse bc it's not even like he was a truly garbage coach - he did lay the foundation for their current goodness to some extent - but a garbage human and...he doesn't get it at all bc he's a jesus freak and those ppl are not known for self-awareness

"you don't suck at your job per se...we just hate yr fucking guts and u might be a sociopath"

nah, hes gotta be a little bit garbage as a coach for a rookie head coach to take over after you and turn em from a 6 seed to a 1 seed likely title winner.

yeah he was at least kind of a garbage coach, at least on the offensive end

but he def wldve kept his job if he cld get along with his coworkers

i bet he could get another coaching job this offseason if he wanted it

yeah someone will def give him another shot

i will let him coach my debate team, i got a lot on my plate, i just need someone else to go to meets

lol

Stephen Curry: 13-22 from field, 6-11 from 3-point range

Rest of team: 30-70 from field, 4-18 from 3-point range

mjax was definitely wrong for where the team needed to be, but he got them out of a purgatory period i suppose

but yea, hideous person, tried to play power games w people's heads that he wasnt even intellectual/ruthless enough to pull off, no sympathy for the motherfucker

...i can kinda see the bulls front office being shortsighted enough to hire him tbh

hideous person and god-botherer bigot idk maybe they like that in chicago

with bad antiquated ideas abt nba offense

tried to play power games w people's heads that he wasnt even intellectual/ruthless enough to pull off, no sympathy for the motherfucker

more cersei than littlefinger u r saying

precisely!

mark jackson shd go coach a private christian college team, he'd take them to the tourney all the time

clay i'm legit wowed by that metaphor, it's perfect

xp he'd really make something of the king's college D3 squad

ty i am glad u enjoyed

who is the nba littlefinger tho, bonus points if you dont say phil jackson

help me write my grantland column

tho i will accept phil as an answer if it includes the phrase "which makes derek fisher his robert aryn" and you tell me that everyone calls coach fisher "sweetderek"

it's daryl morey duh

help me write my grantland column

we could legit pitch this and split the freelance fee - although im p sure they did a similar piece some time ago, iirc it was the subject of some mockery on the simmons thread (in the past, before my ilx time)

Phil Jax is more Tywin than Littlefinger

Danny Ainge?

danny ainge is tywin, phil jax is mace tyrell (had some past glories/has wealth, is now ineffectual and vain)

ha i would totally cowrite something like that just for kicks, preferably while drinking

I /do/ have a rinkydink wordpress blog, not sure how seriously I want to take it so have not previously mentioned it on ilx, but yea if you're at all serious, shit why not!

the genesis of most if not all posts is either drinking or extended downtimes at my office so the motivation would fit right in

i liked steph's man in black look tonight

What had Derrick Rose wrought.

harden 28-11-9-4stl

klay driving all game was so good to see but he missed a lot of easy ones. livingston was incredible

yeah livingston saved the game for them

naww how human

bogut getting cooked imo

lol apparently sportswriters are complaining abt stephs cute child this morning! someone put them out of their misery

their inability to experience joy is almost impressive

forget joy try just not being extremely irritable and judgemental abt one inconsequential thing

tho i guess that is their job

bogut getting cooked imo

he had a pretty bad game for his standards but mostly due to dumb fouls. he isn't asked to do too much and he doesnt make sense to play if dwight is out in and he was out most of the game. he did set some good screens to get curry going tho. david lee is cooked tho.

lee lost and confused

and out of shape still
