Had to look up what TPA is, https://nbamath.com/tpa-model/.  

It bothers me that Hunter is always so low on advanced stats like this.  If you point it out, someone who "knows" why it doesn't matter corrects/rebukes you.

On Raptor and WAR Young and Murray are the best, followed by Collins and Capela, then Aaron Holiday. Hunter, JJ and OO are pretty even and Justin Holiday is the worst by far.

I understand that the sample is small but Griffin and Tyrese Martin stats are really good.

Y'all want him as the Hawks next great assistant? 

 

I wonder if Lloyd will get a run.

No (he didn't install an offense in Brooklyn either) and Jacque Vaughn gets the interim position.

[macdaddy]

Wow.  What a disastrous tenure for Nash.

[JeffS17]

lol Nash gotta be relieved to be honest.  That Nets "super team" has been a dumpster fire from day 1.  Nash should really take a gig with a rebuilding team.  I have no idea if he would or will be a good coach, but that Nets environment could not be a good first gig for anyone.

Looks like they are going with Ime Udoka.

That's kind of weird with all the stuff going on with him in Boston.

Any dudes with wives on staff in BKN just resigned.  Any ladies on staff should probably resign.  What was the guy's actual "punishment"?

Tell me you DGAF about the ladies without tellin' us you DGAF.  Smh 

Or, what he really did wasn't actually that big a deal and BOS panicked.

It's gotta be one or the other, no in-between.

Either way, the PR hit between this and the non-discipline after Kyrie's latest 'thing' will be massive if they don't win immediately. 

Like gi-normous.  Count me among those hoping it blows up in their faces.  Always root for chaos.

Antonio Daniels actually made a similar point, which I agree with as well.  He may not be a good coach but he had an impossible situation in BKN.  It's possible, in a more stable situation, he could show what he's actually got.

He had no chance from the minute those two said they didn't need a coach.

[macdaddy]

I don't know what Nash/KD/Kyrie been doing in BKN for the last year plus, but it ain't basketball. 

[kg01]

Officially putting out an a.p.b. on Kawhi Leonard.  Is he still a basketball player or nah?

Unless I missed something, which is entirely possible, I thought the Ime situation was he had an inappropriate yet CONSENSUAL relationship within the organization. Meaning it violated their conduct policy but was not anything inherently malicious or illegal.

i.e What 2 adults choose to do is their business, but once it’s public and causes a distraction in the workplace, we can hold you accountable. 

The Celtics used the specific term “consensual” meaning there was nothing coerced or predatory about it. The unnamed persons involved made the decision to be involved with him too.

That being said, Ime’s presence within the Celtics organization may now be a distraction or disruptive to normal operations, but that doesn’t mean he will be the same distraction elsewhere.

I think the Nets should hire Ime, sign Josh Primo and have Joe Tsai and Kyrie do a Hawaiian themed dance for us at halftime. 
 

What a garbage 🗑 franchise the Nets. Wow, so freakin weak.

There were reports he harassed the employee after the consensual part supposedly ended.  So the discipline was more for that than the initial, consensual act.  All based on "reports" so tifwiw.

Nah, and Phoenix has the best record of all the contenders out west.  Highest point differential in the league.  Beat the Warriors 134-105.
