THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[jpzx]

On what the Timberwolves team plane is like:

“You walk on, the vets are on the right playing cards and stuff. Me and Andrew [Wiggins] usually sleep … I hop on a plane, I either watch a movie or sleep. The coaches are a little bit more toward the back, they’re talking and doing their scouting reports and stuff.”

On what Nikola Pekovic does on the team plane:

ZL: Big ol’ movie guy. He watched like the whole series, the 1-2-3 of The Godfather.”
Grantland: “Is that the first time he had seen it?”
ZL: “No. He watches them all the time. Big movie guy.”


On Kevin Garnett’s whereabouts on the team plane:

“He sits one row behind the players section or like, right all the way in the back … [he usually] listens to music or just mess with everybody … either [he over-ear headphones on] or they’re off and he’s just talking to everybody. He comes up to me and talks with me every once in a while.”


On Kevin Garnett, the person:

“Coolest dude in the world, really cool. You know, at first, I thought he was going to be intense all the time, but he’s a real down-to-earth guy man. He helps. He’s one of the biggest mentors on the team. He’s just a really cool dude, but he’ll turn it on on you in a minute.”


Has Garnett yelled at anyone yet?

“I haven’t seen him yell at anybody.”


On if Garnett could be a good coach:

“I think so. I think he could be a good owner too. I don’t think he… he was telling me he didn’t want to coach either, but I could definitely see him being an owner.”

Garnett had nothing to yell at, he already knew the Wolves were tanking the season away

senile asterisk George can't even remember what he said and didn't say


don't forget to take the donepezil grandpa, @CP1708
 and @lawdog1
know what I'm talking about

I honestly have no idea what that is. Is that like metamucil?

KG is basically already retired. Him playing for Minny now is basically symbolic and part of paving the way to him becoming an owner.

Interesting colorway on the first KDVIII release

I might have a touch of dementia, but CP is clearly good on that score. Today recalled like 10 posts he'd dropped on George Karl over the years. That boy is still sharp.

Pics please. Too lazy to Google.

 

[lawdog1]

Going in on GK though, I'm praying for you.

Why? Because he's a cancer survivor? That should not make one immune from deserved slander. Kudos from him for getting through that, but it doesn't mean he can't act like a **** afterward. Hell, my wife is a cancer survivor (and heart transplant recipient), but I still call her out when she does dumb **** and she has no problem with it.

 

[mister friendly]

In George Karl defense of his resume ,He's been to the playoffs in 21 seasons, he's lost with the home court 5 times with 1994 and 1995 being the worst ones

CP is good writer but hes always going to leave out things

 

[flyerthandelta]

Mannnnn if the Knicks draft Porcugenes the lulz this will get

surprised Under Armour didn't sneak a #IWill in there 

 

[CP1708]

Oh, is that all? I didn't know that losing ONLY 5 times, in round 1, as a 1 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed, and 4 seed, is cause for some sort of praise. I do apologize for leaving that little fact out.

Like I said, he spreads his suck around.

He's pushed out GP, Ray, Melo, Iggy, and now potentially Cousins, so he can play "his way". Uh, coach, you goin on 25 years of coaching, without getting passed round 1 but 2-3 times, maybe, Iono, SWITCH YOUR STUPID *** TACTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!


[T-Boz] That's actual and factual... [T-Boz]

That's the problem I have with Larry Brown. The common denominator amongst all these bad relationships needs to be held accountable

You really need to turn your rep button on fam.

@mr_jasonjones Also, I've had more sources confirm the Yahoo report that Karl had contacted teams and players on Kings to get DMC dealt. Oh the fun.
