goes to Russell Turner..Great job working with POB-AB15 and Be Right....Way to go Russell..You're the best in the bizzzz!!..What a track record..I can't believe Turner's never been nominated for the basketball HOF

I wonder how long it will take before people realize this is the same Nellie song and dance... and it never turns out good.

My dislike for Nellie just keeps growing... I literally cannot wait until he's gone and this team gets a coach that knows how to actually use tall players.

It's going to take a 4 game sweep to wake up the other knowledgable posters here..At some point they're going to figure out what's going on here..The travisty of it all...Nelson's screwing us again...Different decade maybe, but the same end results...

Hell it took me 21 years to figure out what Nelson's all about..He's one tricky bastard.

Didn't we already do this thread?

How can you not like that guy? I mean, look what he did Tim Young!

BTW, he was a Montgomery guy...so I guess Monty didn't know anything about bigs either...

PS Is that McCain over his right shoulder?

Look at this one on one teaching of Goose!


BTW, maybe the nickname Goose is bad...since he's been called that he has had an appendectomy and been pretty crappy.

Why would there be a reason to think Monty knew anything about the NBA paint?

I don't know, people think POB was drafted for him and think he would be pretty good with a real coach...I just put 2 and 2 together for you guys.

POB was drafted by Mullin.. giving it to Monty is a Chasserly move.

Why would the W's be entertaining the idea of a new coach and let this lame duck coach get his pick? No sense to it at all... if POB really was Monty's pick, it just goes to prove that the FO really is that effed up and Mullin's a completely horrible GM...

Neither scenario is really far fetched either. Unfortunately.

No one's ever said anything about Monty being a better paint coach then Nellie (though its probably true by default). They've only said that Monty would at least see what he has in the player.

I don't hate Nellie and i don't blame him for not using big men BUT I do blame him for not using ALL the guys he has. What's wrong with getting them some touches and real game experience ? In '75 (now you know I'm old) Al Attles used ALL the guys on his bench and won an NBA Championship with them. Give your bench players a freakin chance !

My impression was that bringing in Nellie was a last-minute thing, that Mullin had every intention of bringing Monty back until he learned that Nellie would actually come back (it was a big surprise, no?). Plus maybe Monty declaring Foyle the starter in July had something to do with it

But I can't imagine that Mullin, knowing that Nellie was coming in, would spend that pick on Patrick... unless of course you want to argue that it was an 8-deep draft, which is possible.

But look at Stanford over the years - how is Patrick not a perfect fit for Monty's system?

Can we just make a daily "hate Nellie" thread? much easier

We're doing 2 a-days for the next month

Yessir... suck it up kids. This is how championship boards are built

Was I the only one who saw Brandan Wright playing in the 4th quarter and overtime of an extremely important Lakers - Warriors game?

The fact that we're only .5 games ahead of the Nuggets for the 8th seed and are facing a ridiculously difficult stretch of games is what's wrong with getting all the guys "some touches and real game experience". This isn't really the time, or the season for that matter, to get guys touches for the hell of it.

Warrior do better with Wright on the floor than Azubuike..There's not 1 decent reason to play Horror Stroy > Wright...

The guy that needs to come off the floor is Harrington. Fortunately, that seems to be the case more and more often.

BTW LF, how do you think Kobe would've done with Brandan Wright covering him rather than Azubuike? Would he have gone 5 for 30 on fgs instead of 10 for 30?
