Minny is going to be really freaking good in short order, I fear.

So looks like los espurs are about to lose Scott Layden to the T-wolves. Couple of holes in the front office now...any good candidates? I kinda wonder about Monty Williams. r/nba seems to think he'll not return to OKC out of grief/etc. so maybe Pop could bring him home and show him some front office ropes.
I'm free.

Step #1: Never trade for or sign James Harden or Dwight Howard.

There's a couple of jobs open at SSE that I feel qualified for. It's almost intimidating to apply there because (in my head anyway) I imagine people are figuratively killing each other to work there.

Unless you're currently unemployed you'd probably be taking a paycut to work at SSE. It's worth it to some people.

This is pretty much true of any sporting job other than coach or player.

Truth. I seem to be doing awesome at the "we don't pay shht because people would kill to work for us" careers. On the good side, one of my more recent interviews with a sports/media conglomerate went well and I am hopeful.

They are going to be damn good soon. They've got all the pieces and they are all very young.

Think this could be the gateway job to become the coyote?

I got an internship there as my last semester before graduating. They then hired me on and I worked there for a bit. Great people and I still have friends there. The experiences are unreal(I was there for the 03 championship, got to carry the trophy and ride in the riverboat parade and the night of the championship drank champagne in the offices below with the Admiral) but the money is awful. Come playoff time though we would go to lunch with our spurs gear on and never pay. It was a time of my life I'll never forget.

They are probably as bored as we are with this series.

Does anyone hate Hubie brown as much as me? What a senile old cook.

He drives me effing insane. I cannot stand his "Now, listen, I'm going to lecture you on the most obvious thing that just happened that would be apparent to anybody that had never watched a second of basketball" schtick.

IIRC they get the first round each year. Looks like the first 3 games because ABC has the exclusive broadcast Sunday.

I love Hubie

I'm OK with Hubie. It's not exactly educational, but he keeps the flow going without being Reggie Miller and occasionally you get a cool old story out of the deal.

It's just worn on me over time. He constantly also says "Look up! Look up!" when teams rebound the ball and there is nobody down the floor to look to. He does seem a little senile.

"that we have in this league"

and

"the painted area"

are what get me.

I'll talk about it here since the Rockets thread is a ban happy zone.

The Rockets do more stupid **** on the floor. Steph is out, they're playing pretty good, then they keep trying to throw the ball ahead on fast breaks to Montejunas and Howard in traffic. Just dumb, little dribbler things like not finding a guard.

They are definitely one of the dumbest teams I've ever seen play in any professional sport.

And the dubs are pulling away even without steph. 8 3s so far in the third quarter!

Basketball IQ is not their strong suit for sure and I don't think they have the coach in place to correct the mistakes.

Curry is out and the Warriors go off for 33 pts in the qtr with 2 1/2 minutes left to play.

Michael Beasley would be a hell of a 21 player. 1 vs everyone else, float around and try and get cheap rebounds and steals. He'd be tough to beat.

Golden State has scored 97 points in 3 quarters without the best scorer in basketball. Defensive clinic being put on.

dude, it was all the refs protecting GSW by forcing the Rockets to leave Klay wide the **** open. Get it straight [/clutchfans thread on TA basketball other]

They're worse than the high schoolers on the Spurs sites.

Curry is going to have an MRI on his knee. You don't like to see anyone get hurt but obviously if he isn't 100% it changes everything.
