  1. Exactly. If you wanna do anything other than go to practice/games you're have to take the shot.
  2. Such a hater.
  3. Just never thought of him as a part of a supporting cast. Unless of course you count injuring Kawhi as a contribution. EDIT: Wow, guess I forgot he started all of their playoff games that yr. He still only played 14 mins/gm though.
  4. Zaza??
  5. Nah, all of the guys below him aren't better yet. Kawhi and AD have their own level which I'd imagine is based on their injury histories. You might be able to put either/both over him but that would be it. The others could prove to be higher next yr but haven't yet IMO.
  6. To the victor goes the spoils. Giannis just had a MONSTER Finals. He's earned the right to be called the man for a bit. Now he has to hold on to it. His combination of offense and defense isn't matched by anyone right now. KD is obviously better offensively but not really close defensively.
  7. I've always been big on him. Still mad the Pistons gave up on him so easily
  8. Whoa, is he looking to get the role as the Kraken??
  9. I didn't put anything in your mouth. You said he was successful. That was never the argument. I said he wasn't good to which you've consistently ran down a list of his success so why would I think that you dont equate being a good coach to wins and losses? I dont care too much about reg season wins. My argument was and still is that he is not really a good playoff coach. Reg season wins are nice obviously but in the playoffs where you play the same team up to 7 straight times adjustments to what you encounter are crucial. His ability to make them has consistently been poor and has cost them playoff games and series wins. He was outcoached by Nick Nurse and Spo the last two yrs in the playoffs.
  10. Successful was not the point anyone who has had issue with him has made. I most certainly did not. Success does not make you a good coach. I'm not sure why it seems that you want to conflate the two. If you believe that just because a coach wins a lot of games then he must be good then we just fundamentally disagree and dont really need to discuss it anymore. I mean by your measure you must think Bud is the best coach in the league since he's had the best record over the last 3 yrs. Right?
  11. They do have their own sports network too. I have no idea what they actually cover no it though. I think they have NHL and NASCAR features.
  12. Cause it goes against the stupid ass point he is trying to make. And the average person learned all those things about those other guys AFTER they won. Him actually being Nigerian makes his take even more ridiculous which is quite the feat.
  13. He's an asshat.
  14. What part of "He just won a title, he will be back. He deserves that." did you miss?
  15. It was pretty widely known that if they didnt get over the hump this yr he was gone. He had some pretty terrible performances throughout these playoffs. Not sure what exactly you are expecting. He can win a title and still not be a great coach.
  16. You mean covering the Olympic main desk? Or the Sunday Night Football desk?
  17. Yep read the same thing.
  18. Man Jrue was so disruptive. PHX started trying to treat him like a shutdown corner and just going the opposite way of him. Basketball court is only so big and you cant only play on one side though.
  19. No. Nash is brutal IMO but at least he has an excuse. It was his first yr and their roster was in turmoil all yr. The Nets being one of the favorites will have absolutely NOTHING to do with Nash.
  20. Exactly, they won so kudos to them. They still went on way too many extended scoring lulls that they really seemed to have no way out of other than "hitting their shots". They really didnt have a go to set to get them back in rhythm. He did make a couple adjustments. Going to the big lineup with Freak, Lopez and Portis a few times in the last 3 games and either he finally convinced Giannis to give up the ball more and get it back or Giannis realized how many easy buckets he got from doing so.
  21. You still on this? He won so he will clearly be back. He deserves that. I still don't think he is a great coach. Completing this run isn't changing that.
  22. Mad Max working jabs at Utah into each and every tweet is the kinda petty I love.
