Who could replace Brett Brown?

[PhillyPhilly]

Caping for Lue? Man, you need to look beyond the cover of the book.

Again I'll ask you like I've asked the others. Are Phil Jackson and Pat Riley bad coaches because they had star players? Yes or no?

Is Eric Spolestra a bad coach because he lost to Brett Brown?

It's very possible to tell how good or bad a coach is outside of the talent on his roster.

There's just a total irony with you dismissing Brown's success while also pumping up guys who succeeded with talented rosters.

But Browns "success" has only gotten him exposed In the second round of the playoffs. TY Lue won a title and went to more finals, that's the difference. As for Spolestra, he's a good coach who also won with stars but at least now we're seeing his worth as he's got his team fighting for the playoffs every year and has developed some decent players too. I'd certainly take him as well.

Oh, so HE DIDN'T win a title In his "rookie season" like Ty did? I wonder why?

Certainly wasn't the coaching change, I can guarantee that.

LOL face it bro, your point BACKFIRED In your face

I think you win the argument if you put the most emojis in your post.

throwback half court players like embiid/butler? one of the van gundy's.

How good is Brett?

Against the Celts, we say Brett is outcoached and how JJ is our achilles heal against them.

But looking at the numbers.. JJ has the best oncourt NetRtg against the Celts. And for the season, JJ also allows his opponent so shoot below their average when he defends them. And against Celtics players, they shoot 8% below average when Jj challenges their shots.

Its just an example of how Brett has done a good job hiding the weaknesses of our players.

I’m bringing this over from the Magic game thread because considering the amount of time that I read comments about how bad Brown and the Sixers are in the clutch, I had to look twice at this list to make sure I wasn’t reading it upside down. But no, rather then being poor, we are elite.
We rank second for the last 5,2,1 minutes with a difference of 5 pts or less. Where does this alternate narrative come from?
Is it that we only remember losses or games against Boston or the one just recently?
Btw Nuggets are number 1.

Go to the Miami board and see how many posters loath Spoelstra's rotations, lack of playing Derick Jones Jr., etc. etc. Why is Spoelstra fighting for the PO an accomplishment, while Brown getting to the second round in his first(!) competitive year a bad thing?

Saying that it is his "only success" is laughable since it was actually his first year with a competent roster. The grass is always greener on the other side. Brown's ability to have his team competing at all times should not be taken for granted.

are there any stats on how many double digit leads we give up down the stretch to get into these close games? thank goodness we got Jimmy. but i'd just as soon put more games out of reach sooner, even if it means giving up the excitement.

Word is Doc Rivers can get out of his contract after this season. Would he be a good option here?

[BB_Fan]

Steve will not let Doc Rivers walk. Clippers are trying to build a contender by signing Kwahi and other free agents.

Doc is not sold on Harris as max player or else would not have signed of on trade.

Brett brown has his limitation but there no good coaches out there available who are better than Brown.

Wrong, The Clippers offered Harris a four year max last year and Tobias rejected it. Also Doc isn't stupid, he's not gonna put together a better team In LA than the one we have here. Kawhi is the only one they have a shot at right now, and he alone will not be enough.

Nope, it was 4 years 80M, not the max.

What about Stan ?

[ankle420breaker]

My patience with Brett is on the decline, but there's really only a select few guys I can think of as viable replacement options and they're all currently employed.

Looking at what we have and looking at the results on the court... Brett Brown should be on the hot seat. We should be blowing out all of the lesser teams and winning half of the games against the others in the top 4. We aren't.

Our window for a championship starts this year. Winning it this year is unlikely due to Golden State and the fact that Embiid/Simmons aren't at their peaks yet (we hope!). But we should expect a championship either this year or in one of the next 3. If we don't reach the ECF this year, Brett Brown should be worried about his job. If we don't get past the first round, it shouldn't even be a question - he should be fired.

What about Stan ?

i always thought Jeff had the competence w/o his brothers histrionics. plus he's getting high fives for his recent work shepherding our amateur squad through the preliminary round of the Olympics. but if you prefer taking a chance on a great college coach, besides Jay Wright, how about Bill Self? (who Embiid learned a lot from and truly digs.)

My thoughts exactly. There aren’t any great alternatives right now.

[PhillyPhilly]

The question is guys what KIND of coach does this roster need (if hopefully it stays together)?

1. A young, x's and o's type who is an assistant right now? (Jarron Collins)

2. A proven vet who has been In the league before (Jeff Van Gundy)

3. A college coach who could be another Brad Stevens? (Will Wade?)

4. A coach who can develop players?

5. A guy who has won a championship before? (Lue or Rivers)

What are we looking for yall when you consider the roster we have?

We will the first round but will exit in second round if we face Bucks. That match is a nightmare especially if embiid gets in foul trouble.
