Phil was able to spend his coaching career playing the good cop. Just one of Tex Winter's many gifts to him. Tex embraced the bad cop role.

Roland Lazenby

Tex always said folks around the NBA disliked Phil because of his tendency to rub it in. He called his book 11 rings to rub it in once more

Tim Kawakami

Asked what part of his game needs improvement, Curry said his tee shots are wild. Putting remains a strength. We were kidding/sort of.

Tim Kawakami

How committed to GSWs is Steph Curry? When I asked if he has an opt-out, he happily said nope & added: "But we can do an extension after 3."

Got an invite to visit Indy speedway Saturday afternoon. If I can't take the sound effect at the Pacers game that sounds like too much.

Frank Isola

In NHL, it's called sticking up for a teammate.

Scott Agness

NBA instituted a new concussion policy in 2011. Time missed depends on the player. Hill could miss a few wks…or no time, like Kobe recently.

Frank Isola

When there is a fight in NBA, which is rare, we get sociologists talking about gangsta rap & education system.

Royce Young

Perk in the regular season averaged 25.1 minutes per game. Only 1.6 of those came without Westbrook on the floor with him.

Royce Young

Relevant factor to consider in Perk's postseason: He was a +10.1/100 possessions in the regular season with Russell Westbrook on the floor.

Michael Grange

As per @Doug Smith I can confirm MLSE has engaged search firm for GM hunt and has until Monday to pick up option on Colangelo's option

Frank Isola

If this were the NHL, there could be a retroactive suspension. Of course, fighting is also allowed in the NHL.
