Blowouts (The Porter and Stotts Appreciation Thread)

[schweig]

I know this is turning into a Stotts debate but I want to pick on something else about LK. I remember a while back, he was talking about instant replay, and now that I just looked at the Wed game report I see he'd like some more consistency between the amount of contact allowed inside v. on the perimeter.

While I agree with those, especially the double standard for contact (although I would rather see the perimeter come closer to matching the paint again and not the other way around), it's funny to me that Mr. First Year Coach is talking about fixing the league before he fixes his team.

Maybe he's just meant to serve the whole game and not only the Bucks. I expect some bright new ideas over the next few months about how to keep close games from becoming foulfests. Shave ten minutes off the average and maybe they can look at your replay plan a little more closely.

Also note that there are no 40-pt losses on there until this year (2).

Pathetic.

[Buck You]

Loosing by 40 in the NBA is inexcusable. That's a total lack of effort and if LK isn't making them run around the Bradley Center 10 times I seriously question his intelligence.

[Max Green]

We never lost by 40 with Terry Porter as our coach. Matter of fact he had one of the worst Bucks rosters in the last 10 years (04/05) and we never got beat that bad, nor did our team ever lack effort. We weren't very good, but atleast we played hard every game.

Scariest thing...our season isn't over.

I can one up ya. Larry K's contract has a few more years left on it.

[paulpressey25]

I believe Larry K. only has one more year on his contract. And it isn't at big dollars.....

this is my point why Porter was a good coach and that we should of kept him here ...I really feel if he was still coach we will be a top 5 team in the east.

I thought LK got a 4 year contract. I could be wrong, however; but reasonably sure it was for more than 2 (not counting the replacement time).

[worthlessBucks]

I thought it was 3 with the issue being if the remainder of last year counted as a year. I'm not sure on that.

[WEFFPIM]

I know the contract was 4 total years, not sure if the end of last season counted as 1 of them

[Kablooie]

People forget that Stotts one "big" year the team had a heck of a lot more talent on it (Kukoc, Joe Smith, TJ, Magloire) and still only got to 40-wins.

Man, what team wouldn't be able to perform with an all star cast like that?

It's hard to decide who out of those guys was the best. Was it the 50 year old, one of the NBA's biggest disappointments, the little guy that was rusty coming back from an injury where he was almost crippled for over an entire season, or the guy whose second double double stat was almost turnovers?

With talent evaluation like that I don't think Mo and Redd fans have too much to worry about when you criticize them.
