3. Why is he sitting at home?
5. Really? I thought this myth was put down when the Celtics started off terribly for yet another year. Or when Spo pretty much stumped Doc once Bosh came back.
6. Wow!
7. I'm becoming less surprised with each passing number.
9. I like cheerleaders too, but I like mine to be women. We were dead to rights without Bosh, against that frontcourt and still took them down. He is a great interview though.
10. With him, we would have managed to lose in the Finals both of the last two years. Check his resume and rosters.
11. He got us with his zone once. He got everyone with it. What else has he done in his career, and with what rosters?
The ones I skipped I'm fine with. Phil doesn't want to coach road games. That's not really a great choice, though he is a better coach. Thibs I think is arguable, but I can't fault that pick. Karl, like Pop, I already rate higher than Spo.
The ones available are Phil and...that's it. We need a coach that's there more than half the games. Plus, Riley doesn't like him. So, seems like we're in pretty good shape with what we got. PEACE.
3. Seriously need I explain this? Why is Phil Jackson sitting at home? He must be a pretty terrible coach with 11 rings, doesn't he? Again with your ''sitting at home'' excuse. Sloan is a proven quality coach and clearly, you don't seem to be aware that he's in the HOF for 4 years now. He help led the Jazz to six division championships and 10 seasons with greater than 50 wins. He was their coach from what, 1988? That's 24 years before step down. Nobody had a longer tenure with any team, ever. Spo can iron Sloan's socks everyday with his coaching knowledge and resume. Sloan has piled up 1220 wins with a 60% winning percentage... Just because of this I'm hesitant to continue with this topic because clearly your know-how isn't very big if I judge by the way you're questioning Sloan's coaching. But let's move on...
5. Yes Doc is clearly better. It wasn't put down by any knowledgeable basketball head, just by newbies apparently. He's got an old ass team that he needs no manage and some injuries. Give him a break. The Celtics don't take regular season seriously anyway because it's not worth it for them. They've got enough old and banged up core players as it is. When the playoffs start tho, they're always on their top game and they showed it in every year of their Big Three respectively. Watch how Doc's offense always flows much more smoother than Spo's who's LBJ dependant... and in the prime of this new era Celtics, they were playing one of the best (if not the best) defense in NBA history. Something that Spo can't manage with this group of high IQ and great athletic players. You're crazy if you think that Spo proved anything more than Doc.
6. Why is this such a surprise for people? Woodson is a couple of wins behind Miami as it is with his 2nd year coaching this team and a much lesser pool of superstar players. He's also got a lot of old ass veterans and players that are banged up constantly and can't play to their full potential (Amare, Shumpert...) Obviously he's done MUCH better than D'Antoni with the same group last year and this year he's doing even better. Before NY, he's coach a good and always competitive Atlanta. They never had anything more than a couple of fringe all-star players, but they were always in the 1st, 2nd round in the playoffs. Woodson would be doing fine or better with LBJ, Wade, Bosh & this role players. He's a good coach. And it looks like you're (patently) overlooking the fact that Woodson whooped Spo's ass (and so did Doc) just a couple of years ago, as I showed you already, but you're obviously neglecting it to favor your view. As long as you're quick to point out what Spo did the last 2 years with a team full of stars thats ok by you.
7. Yeah Spo would really do much better than Hollins. His sideline words of wisdom would help swing Zach in the right way and make him even a better player than he is currently. He'd certainly destroyed Pop without one of his core players... But in reality, as an eight seed, Spo wouldn't sniff a win in a playoff series, let alone uspet the team with the best record. Spo hasn't done anything with an average cast and a superstar.
9. First I find it interesting that you skipped Karl for some reason but had a nerve to knock Sloan for some instance, but oh well... Yes, but you might want to check the WE part. LeBron and Wade single-handily took the Pacers down, not Spo. Spo didn't even know who to play in that series and was trying players like Pittman for pete's sake. I think I don't have to remind you of the outcome. As Greenhat nauseously exposed you were among the ones calling for Spo's head (which you admitted of being wrong) in that series. So you were obviously acknowledging that Vogel was outcoaching Spo. Now, since LeBron and Wade propelled us to victory that should've been easier than it was, you're favoring Spo. Wow, I'm lost for words. Oh and by the way, the Pacers have a bunch of average to good players and they're playing above their expectations and if I recall still hold the leagues best defense. Spo would be fighting for the 8th seed with that team at best.
10. His resume is that he made the Finals twice with Portland (losing to a great Detroit and even better Chicago team) in his first years. Then he managed good NBA teams like Sacramento (which played great playoff ball, as you should know, in incredibly more talented West at the time), Houston who was a top 5 team in the West but could get anything going because of injuries to core players. Adelman won 800 career gamea, 13th among coaches in NBA history. He proved he could coach multiple teams in multiple situations, something that Spo might never get a chance to if he's fired here.
11. You do realize he's coaching career didn't began with Dallas 2 years ago, do you? Obviously you haven't followed a lot of Carlisle because every team he's been on that has been healthy and decently filled with talent he's preformed remarkably well. Carlisle led the Pistons to consecutive 50–32 records (.610) with Central Division titles and playoff appearances, and was named Coach of the Year in 2002. He then went on to coach the Pacers, led them to the Central Division title and NBA's best regular-season record (61–21; 74.4%). He then lost to a very good Detroit team in the East Finals. Next year he lost to them again as Detroit were the surprised champions of 2004. And I won't explain what he did with Dallas in his tenure, as I hope you at least observed the last two years well enough.
Overall, I don't mean to be offensive in any way but I'm refraining from further debating with you because you clearly lack the right perception and have your own beliefs that are based on incorrect facts and nonchalant observations with weak negligent analyses.
