They’re trying to win now and Garland won’t get it done



Yeah I know this board likes to trash Harden but even at his advanced age he clears Garland.

Former military here, you would be surprised to know where US units are strategically located around the world. Most never get talked about in the news.

You're probably right, but that's not mutually exclusive from reason stated above.

Why is Harden wanting out this time? Clippers have been playing well.



Sounds like it's a mutual parting. Clippers are devoid of draft capital and this current group missed their window to win a championship.

I really don’t understand what it’s like having a job. Always worrying about how much vacation time and PTO you have, bitching about health insurance, needing to ask permission to go somewhere and take your family on vacation. And most people with jobs are always trying to figure out ways to work less and get out of work. Looking forward to retirement and counting the years, and if you have enough in your 401k, etc… It’s just foreign to me. I’ve done my own thing for about 25 years. If I want to go, I just go. But I enjoy what I do and it’s fun, so I don’t really ever retiring,..or worrying about my PTO.



So basically you have no contribution to the conversation.
What kind of question is this? If you have it, it's yours to use as you see fit. Everyone needs to recharge.

Go on the fricking vacation. No one ever said "I wish I'd worked more" on their deathbed. And I'm someone who doesn't use enough of their PTO.

The Jordan era is the most iso heavy basketball of all time lol. That was a symptom of the defensive rules of the time.



Don't know why you're getting downvoted. You're right, the 90s is known for iso-heavy offense with a lack of ball movement. To be fair it wasn't the players' fault. The illegal defense rules incentivized isolation principles. In today's game you can send two or more to the ball so frequent ball movement is a necessity.
I think the biggest issue for any team trying to be the Bulls is getting the rest of the team to buy into the Triangle offense. It's a great team offense but players have to sacrifice personal stats (and money) for the betterment of the entire team. Getting buy in back then was easier because players didn't have the options/mobility that they have today.

They'd still be a great team because of how good they were defensively, but not as dominant in today's game. There's just far more talent in today's NBA. No other team had the sheer talent to match up with them back then.

I expected much worse. Definitely has slimmed down.
gdam, didn't think I'd say this but LK is exceeding expectations with the portal. He is a man possessed.

For “leaking” NIL details about new players? How would Kiffin have access to new Ole Miss player NIL deals?



Maybe if some of his coaches were privy to the deals before they exited the playoffs. But that's OM's fault, they wanted LK's coaches around in their henhouse.
Eh, the game passes everyone by at some point. Succeeding in CFB today takes a different skillset than it did 10 years ago. Most coaches who were thriving in CFB back then has either retired or they've regressed significantly.

I’d like to see our average be higher, but I’d imagine the special team additions are weighing it down.



Ratings are arbitrary. If LK is getting most of the guys he wants then that's all that matters.

Could LK have done any better.... Geez this is great. He's killing it in the portal



I don't think so. Even the skeptics have to be impressed.
I'm not putting that on any new coach that has to rebuild the o-line. If it happens, fantastic.

Imagine all the people that were worried about us getting a QB



Don't know about worried but it was a little chaotic when the Demond Williams stuff started. LK closed strong though.

You may be right, but he will judged by what the Athletic Department looks like 3 years after his hiring, not 3 months after.



If we'd ended up with Dan Mullen as HC I don't think people would be waiting 3 years to judge him.

Michael Jordan?



MJ was the owner. And he's widely considered one of the worst owners in NBA history.

I know that's the common theme/joke. And I don't eat Popeye's often. But in all honesty I can't even remember the last time I had to pull up or even wait a few minutes before getting my food there. Not sure if they shifted their corporate focus on better service or whatever, but I've been in and out almost every time for years now.



Additionally I've never had these issues at the Popeyes in SD. Must be location-specific.

He got dog piss lucky it worked out this way cause according to Philly he was gonna sign weeks ago. But you dumbasses keep believing he knows anything..


By the way still not signed yet. So more misinformation according to his post


In his defense this is real life not a script. Stuff changes, other schools get involved. Family members get in player's ears. If LK himself had given reports on exactly what was going to happen he would've been wrong too.
