Didn't know if this should go here or in the regular NBA thread. But I figured since this one's been more active lately I'd put it here. And I'm sure most people already heard about it but my question is: Anyone think they can bury the hatchet and he'll be back coaching them? I'm leaning towards a "no". Even if they could let bygone be bygones I don't think Phil would come to the Lakers because IMO they're not close enough to a championship team again. Remember Phil picks teams that are close and just need slight tweaking. The Lakers don't have the players, IMO. Of course, some people love Lamar Odom but he hasn't proven that he's a superstar to me. Anyway, that's what I think. Anyone else care to share their thoughts?

i'm leaning towards yes, he'll come back, that is if they get rid of those those crap players:

Grant

Butler

Divac

Odom

Atkins (maybe..)

they do nothing for the team, Walton's kid sucks too, how'd he get on the team?

and one thing. THEY NEED A CENTER!

get rid of those guys, find a center, and Phil will be back.

Pistons game starts a 4:30 PST today.. ESPN/TNT

His other choices are teams like new york or cleveland those teams dont have much of a chance of winning a championship right now either. That and phill wants 10mill a season the only person who would pay him that is jerry buss since the money would be going straight to his daughter anyways. I see phil as a laker next year, I just hope they fire mitch.

I don't think he necessarily will come back at all, yet. He may wait to see what James does after his current contract expires. Personally, even though I'm a Nets fan, I'd LOVE to see him go to Chicago (which is possible I think considering that clause in his Nike contract) and Phil returning there. Of course, with the cap it might be impossible for them to keep that Bulls team together for too long. Once those rookie contracts expire lots of guys may be looking for their paydays. I have no idea what their cap situation is like but I'm sure James himself will get top $. But if everyone's already making the comparison why not go all the way and get him there.

LOL

no i don't because DirecTV doesn't let you order single channels you have to get it in packages. if i get one NBA channel i have to get them all and there is no way in hell my uncle is going to pay $100+ or whatever it costs.

EDIT:

first-round games to cable and satellite distributors including Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, Cablevision, Bright House Networks and DISH Network.

DirecTV not listed.

I second that, I think it will be Pistons vs. the Suns. I think that San Antonio has this skill to make it to the finals far and away, but with their injury problems Tim Duncan and the mighty Spurs arent looking their normal self.

Pistons all the way

It was on Fox Sports Net Detroit. FSN has 2 of 7 games (if rounds go that long) until the finals.

You guys are all in denial. Knowing damn well, there isn't a squad out there that can win 4 out of 7 games against my Heat.

Heat had a very hard time beating the Suns and the suns vs. heat record is close. With Manu Ginobli being injured (that's what i heard at least) it'll even put them at a worse position.

also, to the op, the suns are 1-0 right now against grizz.

anyone watching the Spurs game? :omg: half time and up by 30!

585840107[/snapback]

Yeah I guess the Spurs got ****ed after game 1. Didn't see the game because I had school until late tonight. Looking at the box score it looks like Parker woke up. Plus the Spurs HIT their shots.

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By dirtyvu · Posted

      I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
