They must love that "little birdy" stuff there. They kept doing that when they were claiming that Flip was going to take the U of Minny job.
The Target center is like my second home. Let me know when you want to go.Quote:

In poking around a bit, I see that a lot of (non-media) people think that he's really headed to coach the Twolves.
links?
Just read the comments after any of the Freep, DetNews, etc. articles.
I'm not talking about legit media, I'm talking about Joe Schmoes.

Watching his presser right now. Says he doesn't have another job. Says he made a mistake even starting the season. Says "a lot of changes going on in the men's league ... Mr. Davidson dying ...."
First question was "can the league survive without you?"
Says he interviewed with Zeke during a prior season and it was a huge distraction to the team so he wouldn't pursue another NBA job as the coach of the Shock again.

Lambeer resigns as Shock head coach
and according to Minnesota paper:

You heard it first from metrOman.
Lol, Mahorn is wearing pink (and shorts!) and looks like he ate Laimbeer.
The Shock now have a GM/assistant manager. Eat your heart out John Hammond.
Will Mahorn still be the color guy for the Piston's radio broadcast?
I'm not buying it. I think Laimbeer is still coaching the Shock 15 years from now.

Laimbeer vs AI. That would have been funny.
It would have been the shortest coaching tenure EVER.Quote:

He either wimps out then and there or plays like a man for the entire season and playoffs.
And I pray this means Curry is about to be shown the door. Bill's resume is pretty impressive. (Yes, I understand the differences between women's and men's basketball)
I'm not sure if Bill is a good NBA coach, but I have faith he could be. I'm sold on Curry being a dumbass on the bench. We're not a championship caliber team, so I'm willing to take a chance on Bill.
NGH
NGH = WTF
What is it with you GD? Typing all this crazy shit?
