By noreply@blogger.com (Greg Eno) When the number of NBA coaches who've been canned before Christmas starts to approach the number of teams Larry Brown has helmed, then you know something freakish is going on. 1. Eddie Jordan, Washington Wizards 2. Maurice Cheeks, Philadelphia 76ers 3. Sam Mitchell, Toronto Raptors 4. PJ Carlesimo, Oklahoma City Thunder 5. Randy Wittman, Minnesota T-Wolves 6. Theus, Sacramento So who'll be the next NBA coach to be unemployed? It's assumed that there'll be a moratorium until after the holidays, giving us some time to mull it over. My guess?

By noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman) Barkley made a candid admission that he has mentioned a few times on TNT: "One of the big regrets of my career is that I did not become a better defender." Of course, he then (half jokingly) took a shot at his first team, the Philadelphia 76ers: "I blame that on all the dead weight I had to carry with the 76ers." Barkley suggested that he could not play defense with the Sixers because he had to do all of the scoring and rebounding.
