sad news

I know Adelman is a HOF but I think he's still underrated among legendary coaches given he doesn't have a ring

guided the #Blazers to 2 #NBAFinals in 3 seasons in the early 90s & helped turn the #Kings franchise around with a great run in the 2000s

Portland Trail Blazers just confirmed a wild Orlando Magic coaching rumor

Everyone scoffed at Jeff Van Gundy being on the list of candidates for the Orlando Magic's coaching job. That another team is interested makes the wild rumor real.
