He’s not a trash coach. He said certain things that can be misinterpreted as disses towards gay people and he’ll never be hired as a coach again :francis: that being said, I don’t want him as the Lakers coach
Warriors stan here. Mark Jackson is bad. Real bad.

He will try to turn Bron and Lonzo into Stockton + Malone, always have 2 true bigs on the floor, use KCP as a post up 2 guard, ignore the entire concept of spacing, and flat out refuse to hire any assistants that know more than he does.

There's a reason GSW went from 2nd round exit to title team in 1 season with very little roster turnover.

35 year old Bron ball dont really work like that in the west though. Mainly cause dude struggles to blow past people these days in the half court. Lonzo should be the first player to touch the ball on every offensive possession cause when he does the lakers are top 5 in pace and offensive efficiency
correct
Nah Pat's practice habits would've had Wade considering retirement before pre-season. Bosh probably dies on the court
also correct

This is a bunch of bullshyt. I've called Lebron out multiple times this season ( A.Davis fiasco, Not being aggressive enough).......As for Doc Rivers, facts are facts. He's a good/very good Coach, but not great.That being said, I would definitely take Doc over Walton. However, Doc's strong personality could clash with Lebron's....Just as it did with CP3 and B.Griffin. Let's keep it 100, the LAC underachieved as a basketball team during the Doc/CP3/Griffin/DJ era.
Doc the GM failed Doc the head coach. He was running the entire operation back then and never put anything around the core

When did Doc Rivers become this great coach?...FOH

Doc has done a good job this season but let's not pretend that he's some elite level HC.
Had kg not blown his knee out in 09 and the refs cheating in game 7 in 2010, ole doc would have a 3 peat

yeah well Steve Baller just locked Doc back up today so we've avoided another debacle :whew:




I think Wade's cosign of Pat is what made Bron comfortable with the idea of playing for him. Bron trusts Wade a lot so probably figured he and Pat would be ok as long as Wade is there too :yeshrug:


Pat would have taken at least 3 years off of lebron’s career.

Couldn’t be Steph Curry having one of the greatest seasons in NBA history and Draymond actually resembling an NBA basketball player huh?

That's why I always respond to the "He never had a Hall of Fame coach! :damn:"

with:

He would have thrown rookie coach Phil Jackson in the bushes once Phil told him he was going to have to play off the ball and his numbers would go down.
Phil would’ve played him at the pippen/Lamar Odom role for sure

It's crazy how people quickly forget.

*Doc has blown 3-1 playoff leads multiple times (correct me if I'm wrong)

*The Clippers got bounced out of the 1st/2nd rd four consecutive years despite having CP3,Griffin and DJ.....Doc took the Clippers no further than V. Del Negro did...Is V.Del negro a great coach?

False Equivalency

DJ was getting like 6 rebounds a game, Blake averaged like 19 and Chris looked like a man on a island before Del Negro got bounced out & Doc got DJ to buy into being a rim runner and allowed Blake to showcase his ball handling/playmaking. Even Reddikk became the pro he is now after years of trying to exercise those Duke bust demons in Orlando (sans the good year with The Bucks)

fukk outta hea! :russ:
