Ball Don’t Lie Hump Day Chat!

I'd be bemused too, if it were my last season as an NBA coach, and nobody seemed to notice.

If my team, the two-time defending champions, just had their home-court advantage wrested away by a team featuring (and depending upon) Corey Brewer for long stretches.

And if Justin Timberlake was over my right shoulder. Totally bemused.
