Conversely, getting rid of our manager has made mine...
I liked the idea of Lloyd, but the team is very young, and needed an experienced manager.
Now that the vacancy is open, and Popovich recently gave Becky Hammon a conspicous turn in the Spurs hotseat, there's been rumours linking to the two. Would be very cool actually. Might be a first in any mainstream team sport.
Depends on how good she'd be, which is something I wouldn't know about.
Lets be honest though, she'd receive much more grief than Lloyd at any hint of a bad result, or player gripe.

With LBJ going down, we might well have upset the western playoff race too
It was a scruffy game though. Both teams missed a ton of shots. But if Hunter's back for the Clippers game, and we keep defending this well, we could go 9 and 0...

Oz Bball has been in pretty good shape the last few years, owner of the national league has done some good stuff and national team has been strong, plus nba talent is high.
But man, bunch of stuff has just dropped today/this week that's massively damaging.
1. BA CEO quitting after 18 months. Sounds like an internal review on racism and possibly some other stuff might get ugly. (last few ceos have gone quick apparently.)
2. Mitch Creek has been charged with assault of a woman. (had a cup o coffee with the nets before settling with new team in Melbourne)
3. The NBL's "integrity partner" who looks after their live data, appears to be lax/in bed with os gambling sites. Dodgy look all round.
Despite his flaws, especially around minutes for guys he relies on, tibs is basically guaranteed competence. Remember that even with T wolves, he dragged them to a play off spot. (Jimmy and kat beef and folks buying in didn't last, obviously.)
You get that guy with a few of his vets (he has rose and Gibson) around some competent folks and an all star, and yeah, you can make play-offs.
