Does Tom Brady count too?
I don't think he does. He's no longer dominant, probably not even top 5 QBs in the NFL now
Yeah you're probably right, if it's all about how good he is right now. But he was the best still at 39.

You have got to give plenty of credit to Erik Spoelstra and way he has gotten the misfits from Miami to the final. This hopefully will be a good series.
Riley and Jimmy B too
And Bam and Iggy.
Bam dominated game 6 and showed some ticket after a stink game 5. He was defending, rebounding, bringing the ball down, scoring, setting up team mates.
Iggy’s IQ came to the fore in this series. You can see the little stuff he does on both ends that were a feature of the Warriors success.

Doc Rivers gone as Clippers coach.
Didn't think they would do it but it's the right move.
Mark Jackson...
-
@ACT-Crusader Stephen A is that you?

It is a plumb job, they will need to pick wisely

They have a veteran team, so a development coach is not going to fit. Can't think who is out there right now. D'Antoni is not everyone's cup of tea but you can't dispute his record, he's proficient with guard based teams and off contract.... If I was him and LA called I'm jump ship in a heartbeat

He'll be on his high horse about sacking a black coach.

D'Antoni has a worse playoff record than Doc Rivers! Clippers should steer well clear of him.
Just because it's a veteran team doesn't automatically mean they need a veteran coach. The Raptors were a veteran team and Nick Nurse worked out terrifically well.

Point nicely made. Just like player drafting, coach selection is a bit of a lottery

They will leave it too long and end up with tyronn lue.
Both the Van Gundy's have been saying they want to coach again. Not the worst options.
Looking forward to a Steve Ballmer hyped up introduction regardless of who they go with.

I would hope that Rivers is on the radar for OKC but D'Antoni can fuck right off.
As for the Clippers, I think Sam Cassell would be a great choice. I understand there are other more experienced coaches but he's been an assistant for what seems like an age. Time to step up.

Been listening to Whistle Blower. Cool deeper look into the match fixing saga with Tim Donegue

Doc to the Rockets to join his son?

@Bovidae I don't know the dynamic enough. Does Austin what to be back under the shadow of his dad?
I don't know either, just that there is a vacancy at the Rockets. It looks like Austin is a free agent too.

I love the talk of an Embiid for Harden straight up trade
Darryl Morey would be just the GM to do something huge like that. Can't see it unless he plans to ditch all his analytics and play with a real centre

It would be a huge admission of defeat from Morey though, he went balls deep on the small ball Harden experiment.
But I like it for both teams. An angry Embiid with an angry Westbrook would be fun to see. And Philly could be great with another shooter to help Simmons.
But mostly I just think it hasn't worked in either Houston or Philly so far, so why the heck not?
