I hope I go before Wendy. I am not sure how I would do without her now. I can't even imagine how it would be after 4 decades.

I know what you mean. My wife and I have been married almost 45 years, I find the idea of living without her unimaginable. To me, it's much worse than the idea of dying. In fact, the worst part about envisioning my death is knowing that in doing so I would be leaving my wife alone. I feel for Pop's loss.

The separation is worse than death itself no doubt.

Funny how this comes out right after the Amick article on the Clippers going after him...

 

[Phrazbit]

offering what exactly?

Yeah, they've got no draft ammo besides future picks, outside of Lonzo they don't exactly have a lot of capitol besides cap space and the Spurs don't have bad contracts.

I mean... I guess they could offer Ingram and... I don't know what else besides Lonzo who I'd think Pop wants no part of, simply to avoid the drama that comes with him.

But, it's part of the never ending LEBRON IS COMING TO LA nonsense that's talked about every summer.

He doesn't strike me as an I wanna be in la type player. I can honestly see him going east to Philly or the Heat

Embiid is 7-1 with Bamba's standing reach (Embiid 9-5.5, Bamba 9-6), Ayton's strength, and KAT's skills. Yikes.

I thought Bamba had teach of 7’9

Sorry, I conflated wingspan and reach. I corrected them Embiid has a standing reach of 9-5.5 while Bamba has a standing reach of 9-6.

After watching New Orleans befuddle Damian Lillard and the Blazers in three straight, a name that should generate head coaching interest: Pelicans assistant Darren Erman. A terrific defensive mind.

Ouch! The Knicks are more appealing than the Suns?

So much for the theories about him being slipped the Bucks or Pop’s job under the table.

Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) tweeted at 1:54 PM on Sat, Apr 21, 2018:
Former Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale and San Antonio assistant Ettore Messina are scheduled to interview for Charlotte’s head coaching job in the coming days, league sources tell ESPN.

This is a great game... and that was a terrible call in Miami's favor, that block was clean enough to preform surgery with.

Also, JJ Redick has come a long way from being the most loathed player in college basketball.

Was that Embiid's block on Dragic... did they call a foul? Only watched the highlights.

His block on Wade with like 20 seconds left, they called it a foul.

I missed it and they didn't have it up on the highlights. Embiid is so good at blocking shots.
