2016 NBA Season Notes/Info

Begley reports that head coach Jeff Hornacek unleashed an expletive-laden rant at his team at halftime of New York’s embarrassing loss to the “rival” Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn made 14 threes in the first half, so Hornacek’s frustration wasn’t surprising.

The remarkable detail was Anthony’s response. The usually mild-mannered star reportedly responded with “anger and expletives of his own.”

Then you add the Kurt Rambis factor into the mix. Yes, that’s right the defensive coordinator got mixed up in things too. Per Begley, Rambis responded by “calling out Anthony’s effort on defense.”

Rambis may have been trying to assert his authority as the defensive coordinator. New York finished the season 25th in defensive rating. Nice job Kurt.

Anthony’s issues stemmed from a larger problem having to do with the entire organization.

Via Begley:
Anthony’s R-rated rant essentially questioned the direction of the entire organization, according to sources.

The 32-year-old has implied that he isn’t interested in returning if the team isn’t going to win next season, and all signs point to a rebuild. It’s what makes the most sense.

Boy, what a mess.

Actually those players weren't even 2nd BPA, or 3rd.. If they really had picked the BPA, surely things would be a lot different.. and thats the point..

There's an issue with looking at these players on a case-by-case basis too.. if u do that the stupidity of the draft picks, and their incongruence, isn't properly illustrated..

There's chronology and as always $$$ involved too (read as $$$ and cap concerns)...

I had Victor Oladipo 2nd on my board btw. I have no qualms with that pick. The issue is now they have a shotty 3pt shooter in Oladipo, and who do they go out of their way to target in the next draft?!??!?! WHY 2-non shooters of course, in the lottery too.. which further exacerbates the issues of Vic, as opposed to finding complimentary players they gambled on players being able to improve their 3pt shot and look how it turned out, pissed off fans, coaches, dudes fired and stepping down.. This is the eastern conference too, in the west it'd have looked even worse..

It's the same thing as the rumor of them shopping Vucevic.. They built a team that's not complimentary around him, and then want to run him out of town because of it, when he's clearly far-and-away their best player (and on a crazy cheap deal)

That's why I'd have easily done a better job, Hennigan's plan was to squeeze blood out of a stone..

What exactly was I wrong about? I said he's gimmicky and his shot is broken, both of which still ring true.

Aaron Gordon isn't even nearly as good as Derrick Favors, thats the funny part, much ado about not a goddamn thing.. He was certainly built up here to be greater, no doubt.

Lets not forget that I was the first person on this site to ever mention Aaron Gordon, or post footage of him. I don't hate the kid or root for him to fail. He's far from some panacea tho, in a lot of ways he's a microcosm of the struggling orlando franchise.
 
Lets not forget when talking about Aaron Gordon back in 2014, I used to often quip "Why not just sign Al Farouq Aminu for pennies"..

So lemme ask again, what exactly was I wrong about? Aminu's considerably bigger than Gordon, he guards 3-5, recently grabbed more boards than Rudy in a victory over the Jazz. He's an elite level rebounder at SF, his shot isn't great but he ended up at 33% this season on decent attempts, he gets hot, also is a consummate teammate..
and the price was a pittance in comparison..
 
Looks like Melo has finally conceded defeat to Phil Jackson... LOL ... he should have known better than to take on the 'Zen Master'.

Carmelo Anthony sounded really 'open' to a trade this time with market size of no concern

Phil Jackson tells the world he'll look to trade Carmelo because "we have not been able to win with him.''

Lol at any team who is willing to take Melo and his contract (and 15% trade kicker iirc)

I thought Boston and Cavs reported wanted him at the deadline but Melo at that time had an ultimatum that he won't go to any cities other than LA or NY.


He's loosening that requirement now though.. LOL..
 
Wow, CJ Miles takes the last shot? That can't have been by design.

If you're a Cavs player or fan this game should be a concern. One point win at home to a team that barely made the playoffs that came down to the last :20.

Cavs can't play D. They aren't winning it all this year.

Paul George was pretty lame in the post-game presser. That's going to make his role players hesitate on big shots now that they know that only PG is allowed to shoot big shots, even though Paul George has never hit a big shot in the last 20 seconds in go-ahead situations.
 
Watching WAS-ATL. Atlanta doesn't look very good. Might be a sweep or a 5 game series at best.
