Hours before Jerry Sloan resigned, the reasons behind his exit were being pieced together. [Sloan] has battled with All-Star guard Deron Williams all season, multiple sources said, and had lost the trust of the team. Williams and Sloan have had at least three altercations, while many players questioned Sloan's handling of everything from playing time and rotational decisions to his insistence on sticking with his revered offensive system. Sources said there has been a growing feeling within the organization that Williams would leave Utah following the 2011-12 season if Sloan did not step down. One stated the divide as being as simple as "either Jerry goes or D-Will goes."
I wasn't expecting the Spurs to win at all today. 4 games in 5 nights is tough as hell for any team. Spurs played the worst game they have all season but it's cool. We had to drop 1 game soon lol.
at least Spurs are a contender this year... Sixers still have a few more years to go before they can contend. but theyre getting better and beating some teams once in a while they normally wouldnt beat... GO SIXERS! (it's been a while since i said that shit)
Sixers are in a playoff spot right now mayne. They have won 8 of their last games now. They are starting to look good and pick it up at the right time.

The New York Knicks have acquired Carmelo Anthony, league sources told ESPN The Magazine's senior writer Chris Broussard on Monday night.
League sources also told Broussard that none of the teams can officially confirm the deal until Tuesday.
The swap is a three-way deal including Minnesota, a league source told Broussard.
As a part of the deal, Denver will get Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks' 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash while Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman will head to New York, according to the Denver Post.
New York will send Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota as part of the deal, according to the newspaper.
"I'm glad its over," Nuggets coach George Karl said, according to the Denver Post. "I'm glad it's an opportunity to reinvent. I think everybody handled it as classy as you could handle it. There's some sadness to it, there always will be."
Anthony wasn't at the Nuggets' practice on Monday night. Instead, the All-Star forward was in Burbank, Calif., taping a segment on "Conan."
Anthony, who has been the subject of intense speculation as Thursday's trade deadline approaches, stayed behind in Los Angeles following the NBA All-Star Game while his teammates gathered at the Pepsi Center.
Team spokesman Tim Gelt told The Associated Press that Anthony's absence was excused. Late Monday afternoon, Anthony tweeted: "Headed to Burbank to film THE CONAN SHOW."
Anthony has been the subject of trade talks ever since he declined to sign a three-year, $65 million extension with the Nuggets last summer. His biggest pursuers were the Knicks and New Jersey Nets.
It's just getting sad. What was once a great league, has just become a joke the last decade. B market franchises will be non-existant and the NBA will be completely unwatchable.
^i agree with what u said...but with this specific case, carmelo blows he doesnt know how to be part of a team and denver might be better without him. the knicks are prob a better team without scumbag meloj
