Am I allowed to settle this?
The Head Assistant for the Miami Heat, CQ is a great friend of mine- when asked about the bubble- and given they lost has every reason to make an excuse says: "This championship deserves more respect, it was the hardest championship won to date." ☑️
My eyes tell me Bronny is way ahead of almost everyone out there in terms of feel for the game. They need to have him run point this summer more- the game moves slow to him
Series ain't over.
Far from it- these guys know what's in front of them and if they can get the job done. I think everyone in that locker-room believes they will get it done

.
The NBA is just so inconsistent with calls and it's gotta be so frustrating and so hard to play in this- Lebron gets called for a touch foul- 2 FTs for Murray- then gets smacked in the head on his drive and no call. It's just sickening
Laker forum- apparently this guy been spot on so far with stuff- I have no clue if this is true but it sure feels like we're right there for Kyrie
⬇️⬇️ this is how NBA negotiations work- he's going to be a Laker soon
LEBRON: "Kobe said, 'I'm running through Pau's f****g chest.' Man, you trippin. That's your teammate. You ain't about to do that."
MELO: "He was like, 'No, he ain't my teammate right now. F**k him. Get up.'"

You should be personally fined and your basketball opinion banned for life if you ever think or thought Tim Duncan was better than Kobe Bean Bryant.
Get out of here with that.
@DRIVEBasketball
We're talking about summer league- if in coaching that team with that first group I'd want him making decisions. That's what I mean by feel- he more often than not makes the right play..puts stress on the defense. Doesn't have to be some dribble master lol
You are worried about Demars ability to shoot the 3… The question is can he cut off the ball and finish at the rim? I would say the answer is yes. And a little extra bonus is his one on one midrange... which is still probably top five in the league
Lebron is the greatest TRANSITION player EVER.
The Lakers went and got defensive minded-athletic-switchable-young pieces in free agency. You want to know why? Because in order to get out on the break, you have to get stops...something they didn't do last year-great start already
Promise you we will get through this baby girl.
We so appreciate all the support and prayers for Cali. She's got a full army behind her and she's showing me what real toughness is.
#MyCalibaby
My girl is here- 4/4/22
Cali Nicole arrived at 9:56 AM and she's an absolute angel.
Mom and baby are doing great :) so much love for my girls

I could go on from our conversation on it (which was awesome) but he made it clear that championship was ridiculously hard to win- sorry none of us were in there and doing it day in and day out so we should probably trust their opinion
Feels so good to be home w baby girl Cali.
Can't even describe how ridiculously tough this little girl is.
She's going to change the world- you can tell already, there's something really special about her and this type of resiliency.
Nothing quite like it- can't describe the feeling when you hand off your baby girl for another surgery. A massive emptiness/pit in your stomach and at the same time a feeling of hopefulness for her results and future.
I just pray God holds her tight again today. My Cali baby ❤️
I don't know who you guys pray to. But I ask that you keep my mother in those prayers tonight. She needs all the support and thoughts she can get.
Tell those you care about and your parents/siblings you love them. Life is precious
Warriors going to have to adjust just like Lakers are- I see too many people assuming Warriors win tonight...that's not how it works. Lakers could very well be up 2-0 after tonight. If you watched closely last game then you'd know why
Update- we're on the road to recovery (again)- to all of you who took a moment and prayed for her yesterday- THANK YOU.
Cali's eyes are as bright as they were before- and she's feeling better after nearly an 8 hour surgery.
Much love, life is precious.
This place, this TEAM, this community. Special people, who have supported my family and my daughter through it all so far. The boys dedicated this season to Cali, and made shooting shirts in support.
Followed it up with the most passionate effort I've ever seen.
#CALISTRONG
My newborn girl has been through 2 and soon to be 3 grueling surgeries on her head and brain. Why do I say this? Bc she's taught me what real courage looks like- what real love looks like. Life is too short to be anything but kind to others- it's our job don't take it lightly.
Coach Banks been my best friend since the 3rd grade...best man in my wedding...I actually learned how to handle myself better as a Head Coach watching him during all of this Friday night. Much respect and what a game.
@Rome_Beast
There's zero positive from the article. What in the world was the point of even putting that together? Those the type of things that ruin any chance they may have (which is little anyway)
My girl. Been through hell and back- but we rock TOGETHER. Dad always has got you, and I'm so damn proud of you...you give me so much inspiration little lady.
My Cali boo.
This is for you today my baby girl. Fight like hell, we got you Cali.
You're tougher than anyone I know, let's get you through this.

@DRIVEBasketball
But we're talking about this particular summer league team. I'd want him to be the decision maker, he makes the extra pass- he's got great tempo, he sees the floor. Why would this be a bad thing? Stop putting him in a box- you don't do that, you do what works best for the team
Cali has gotten the good news of being approved for a second opinion down at Cincinnati Children's ...it's still terrifying in general (ptsd for sure) so as we head down there today-
Any and all good vibes/thoughts/prayers are always appreciated for our girl. She deserves it.
My why- right here ⬇️
I'm a better Father, Husband, Teacher & Bball Coach bc of her.
I'm more compassionate, understanding, driven, & determined bc of her.
My Cali girl- we are going to pour everything we got into one another bc of your impact on our lives- keep going babe.
Im def not worried about the clippers when Lakers are at full strength. This gonna get ugly if we meet in the playoffs. Their defense is super soft and they live and die from 3...have fun winning today Clipps
@UnwrittenRul3s
@Ralph_MasonJr
This dude PG lying all over the place. Is it almost pathological at this point? Haha that may be extreme, well...actually no that's what it sounds and feels like- he's got to stop this nonsense
Handing your child over for another major surgery is not for the weak of heart. However, her scars continue to tell a story of how life tried to break her and failed AGAIN.
We heard the words today from her surgeons "it went better than we could of even hoped for"
Cali is the
A little time to reflect. Extremely dissapointing end to a heck of a season. However, I will never forget the opportunity to Coach this exact group of young men. It was my honor and I couldn't be more proud of what we've established and the foundation we have laid for the future
He's gonna be so good for the Lakers next year lol I can't wait until he does what he's about to do and all you so called experts can pipe down a little
@AnthonyIrwinLA
@RxdicalF
Don't backpedal now. You've trashed Kobe, you've constantly talked about how the Lakers moves are failures, you take shots at the man who is the Lakers (Kobe) and a GM who brought us

you better expect people not being happy. You're sinking fast, just embrace it.

win today- please baby Jesus just complete the day.
Very blessed for all that are in my life- coaches, players and families. 🎄🎄
@LakerCentral365
It’s super bizarre and I smell a whole lot of insecurity in this man. Probably from failing in the playoffs the last 2 years and Ingles cooking him. You see the narrative changing from them? “The pressure isn’t on us now..” ya da ya da...it’s so funny but also super strange
We didn't win tonight but
@GreyhoundScores
and Coach Eric Saxton are so classy and awesome for this before the game. He's always been a great mentor and friend to me in the coaching world and he deserves to be recognized for stuff like this. Thank you Coach.
#CALISTRONG
Shout out to my wife- holds it down in our house, takes care of the boys and our little girl who's got a lot going on. Never waivers, always on top of stuff.
Allows me to Coach, teach, be a better Dad.
Fellas, we are nothing without them. Much love Britt.
What a day, and what a battle for Cali. Life is so fragile, it can come and go so fast...so as I sit here in the hospital with my daughter- I just started thinking about the love and support from so many- my family cannot possibly thank you enough- there's more work to be done...
It's so difficult to win games in any sport at any level. To win them all over the course of a regular season? Man, congrats to all the young men, coaches and especially
@bmjohnso1
. Time to focus on the next one, but incredible regular season
@MonarchFootbal1
let's keep it going
Congrats to my brother, Coach Adam Banks and the girls for their district championship!
@LadyRocksHoops
won an absolute slugfest and played some incredible defense. Well done!
This was arguably best basketball of Beans career (I've said this a lot of times on here I know)...he had perfected almost every area of the game offensively and was still dunking on heads.
The best to ever lace them up. Don't try to convince me otherwise, it isn't happening 🐍
The Lakers have LeBron James and Anthony Davis healthy and under contract going into next season, and the overwhelming sentiment I feel from Laker fans is negative/hopeless.
And they’re right to feel that way. That’s how incompetent the people running the team are.
Let me tell you something about being a girl dad....I'll bring the entire house down if it means helping her...There's a love I didn't know possible when it's your little lady.
#mybabyCali
He is next. Probably going to just wait until Spo is done- but this guy right here would give all of you buckets and he also is going to be a GREAT NBA coach.
Miami needs to get this chip! Let's go Heat!
I remember all our talks and him saying "no chance I'll ever coach" 😂
Don't forget- before that 2020 season everyone on here and in the media said the Lakers don't have enough with Lebron and AD
Given good health (which has nothing to do with anything but bad luck for AD and Bron) they can go nuclear again and be right where they were 2 years ago
Why does Kuhse have the ball this much? I'll never understand- I could care less about score it just makes no sense lol they just ran about 40 high PNRs with him initiating. Why? You have Dalton and Bronny just standing there
Big congrats to my guy

@AshlandU_Hoops
. The best is ahead for you- and let's make the most of all that we got left here in THE VILLE!
You know the cool thing about coaching? As I get older and continue to do this longer, I realize caring about winning and losing is selfish. It’s to make me feel good, BUT what really matters is the relationships I get to have and build amongst young men. These last a lifetime...
We are excited to unveil our new gymnasium today. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in making this happen for our kids!

I have A LOT to say that needs to be said in a different time and space, however, something I need to say to
@jcollinsbball
is Thank You. Thank you for what you've done for me- my family- Coffman Basketball- what we did together coaching- our friendship- the list is endless.
Dublin Coffman head basketball coach Jamey Collins has confirmed with me that he has been non-renewed as head coach for the Rocks program
This comes after 21 seasons, 420 wins and a 2 point loss in the district semis last week
Just brutal. And unfair. Jamey deserves better
Received a really cool text last night that reminded me why I love coaching, and why I love this group: to summarize,
"I understand coach. I’m not upset with the time I got I understand I need to do the best with the time I’m given. It’s not about me."
Winners mentality.
Since it is Friday- I just want to take a moment to say thank you to the entire

Coaching is a true fraternity.

I want to point out how incredible of an act this is...thank you Coach Maul and his team for the generosity. We're in this together for sure!

@coffmanhoops
and I CANT WAIT! One week 🏀
Learned a lot already in my short time as a HC....one thing I refuse to fail at is uniting this group of young men and helping them find what all they got. Wins and losses come and go, but we're learning to fight for every possession on both ends, and caring about each other.
Perspective is key:
The result was not what we wanted, obviously. But man, to see my daughter at that game after all she's been through, watching her smile at the game we put so much into. Great reminders about what's important.
We will bounce back quick,
Perspective is key.
Regular Season officially complete- we have had one of the best seasons overall in program history- ALL 3 LEVELS are OCC Champs.
