Do not, under any circumstances, be talked into seeing Last Christmas.

I know there are plenty of LeBron haters out there, but I always wonder what his career would have looked like if he had a great coach early. Look at most of the top guys of all time and who they had:

• MJ = Phil
• Magic/Kareem = Riley
• Russell - Red
• Kobe/Shaq = Phil
• TD = Pop
• Bird = had a few, but had Red on the staff as an exec

Aside from Spo, and that was late, Lebron never had anyone with gravitas.

@mariner4life did you ever watch the conversation between Pop, Manu, Parker and Duncan sitting at halfcourt? Such good insight into their dynamic and relationship.

@chchfanatic Anyone but! He's a disaster mate. Has such a shocker with the Tahs, not just performance-wise, but internal management. Poor pre-season prep, awful player retention and succession, fcked the team around with his plans (demanded extension only to walk out on them once the assistants had made other plans). He is by all accounts a nice guy, but he is not a HC

I have zero idea of the viable alternatives for the Saders, but you really don't want him

I really dislike Simmons. The Melbourne affair, the Boomers stuff. Seems like a tit to me

@chchfanatic is that 2nd prediction serious or sarcasm?

@mariner4life for all his brilliance as a coach, Pop has to take a lot of responsibility for this. It is pretty arrogant to refuse to move with the times. I hate the modern NBA's obsession with 3's more than anyone, but you can't ignore it.

@mariner4life I'm not proud of it

What has changed is, on the odd occasion i do go out, i don't stay out late. I am basically Cinderella.

Absolutely. There is nothing good (long term) that can happen to a married guy with kids after 9.30pm

Though I'm actually just a boring cnt too these days. I've actually found myself leaving perfectly good functions early, to come home, crack open a bottle of red on my own, and log on to "talk" to you bastards!!!

Watched S1E1 of Mr Robot last night. Enjoyed it. Anyone watched it?
