I think Minny had a dam good draft.And I fuck with Mark Jack and think he’ll be a hell of a coach.I wouldnt say Doc Rivers was known as a clown he did win coach of the year in Orlando.I think the Sixers should’ve got Mark instead of Mike Jordan cousin from the slavery days.

I’m not bold enough to predict how Jax will do but I think he is doing himself a disservice by not accepting an assitant position first. A little experience can only help.

Also, what can he teach about defense?

Absolute mess of the draft?? What are you smoking? Dumping Randy Foye & Mike Miller for the rights to Rubio (either signed or traded) is a steal. Jonny Flynn will be a solid player and possible all star in his career. Wayne Ellington is a shooter that will compliment Flynn (or Rubio) for years to come. Just about everything I have read from NBA execs say the Wolves had a smart draft – especially for a team in a rebuilding year who have admitted they don’t anticipate an above .500 season.

I expect a little more then random, poorly thought out comments like that from Dime.. come on, lets put some effort into our articles.

his commentating sucks
i’m one to give chances to people though.avery johnson wasn’t all that to begin with.annoying voice,rabid temperament,bla blah.
by the time he got canned he’d earned my respect.with that being sed i don’t think doc rivers is all that,and rick aldeman is a maestro.but then again,that’s just my opinion.

lakers in 2010.

Hey hey hey don’t knock Eddie Jordan. He was doing a good job with the wiz until half the squad got hurt, he just took the fall.

I love it when people suggest new coaches. Yea, cause that works all the time (Terry Porter, Michael Curry).

Meanwhile, Eddie Jordan gets attacked even though his entire team was wracked with injuries, and Flip Saunders gets attacked after going to Conference Finals countless times. Yea, those two are bums.

All of you who think you will miss him in the booth. Don’t worry he’ll be back sooner than later

I’ll try to be even-handed about this. Mark Jackson was a player that had to get by on his smarts, since he had very limited athletic talent, and he did pretty well. I suspect he knows a great deal about the game.

However….

His announcing was just pure shtick, like a slower, lower energy Stephen A. Smith with the oh-no-you-di’n't cadence. Yuck. JVG has character and convictions that come out over the course of a game. Jackson was spewing pure b.s. at all times.

I think players will get mighty weary of his know-it-all demeanor. He constantly points out little things players should be doing better, as if his career, which ended with LOSSES every single season, was an error-free glide to superstardom. He’s a nag who imagines players in his era were perfectly prepared for every play. It’s not true, of course, and these players will tune out within 30 games.

“Mama there goes that man!”

Definitely the stupidest and most predictable line he ever used. Used it almost every game like it was new and flashy. Really it just sounded retarded and premeditated.

@Kobeef

You telling me Rubio is never going to play in the NBA? Please…

Minnie owns Rubio’s rights for as long as necessary, and with all the hype surrounding him, they’ll get value far superior to anything they could have had with this pick.

I stand by the man. But I sure hope Walsh manages to land us Rubio (and Lebron…)
