Doc fires back at JJ Redick
"JJ Redick best numbers of his career was under one coach and you’re looking at him. I'm the one who grabbed him out of Milwaukee and decided to start him. From that point on, his career took off"👀

Doc Rivers reveals he warned Caesar about Brutus:
"I told Julius, buddy, that guy was trouble. Nobody sports that many knives under their toga without plotting a stabbing. I just had a feeling 'et tu, Brute?' would become the ultimate betrayal cry"
Doc Rivers says he warned the Jedi about Emperor Palpatine:
"I told Anakin, ya know, something's off about that guy. Nobody gains that much power in the Galactic Senate that fast without something shady going on. I just had a feeling he was the Sith Lord"

I can't imagine this Jontay Porter story is an isolated incident. Other people the NBA should be looking into:
-Ben Simmons
-James Harden
-Doc Rivers (not that I think he did anything wrong, just a general investigation as to how he keeps getting jobs)

A. In a situation where a player has exceeded 40 minutes of playing time in 10 consecutive games the following penalties are:
1.A 1 game suspension+$50k fine for the coach
2. An automatic one-game “mandatory rest” and the player must miss the next game.
For all those offended by my last tweet:
Its a joke. I make jokes. Check my stuff.
(Also check Perks recent tweets for context. I hate explaining jokes, but whatever.)
(Also obviously I agree that this isn't even a debate. Perk simply knows more ball than Jesus.)

True but this could possibly turn out to be top 3 summers of all time. Everyone knows it's going to require a lot for a chip, and their is restrictions in place. Expect 1 earth shattering transaction that could put every team in panic mode. After all this is the farewell tour.

REPORT:
Per anonymous sources, Kawhi Leonard has expressed an interest in playing for Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks.
"Kawhi's always been a fan of overextending himself," said the source. "This move to the Knicks is just the next logical step in his career."

-Aging Stars (LBJ,KD,Steph) too old to win
-Young Stars (Luka,SGA,Ant) too young for primetime
-Current MVP’s (Jokic,Giannis,Embiid) not good enough to be in the “best ever” conversation
