With a bottom 5 coach too according to some


Bottom 5 is a bit harsh. I've got Joe in a battle for the #16 spot.


Fair. Tough to put him higher than 11th:

Malone
Carlisle
Lue
Jenkins
Spoelstra
Finch
Daigneault
Nurse
Popovich
Hardy

And a bunch of other guys have arguments over him too, such as Kerr, Udoka, Brown, Vogel or Thibs.

There's just no way to determine how good a coach really is because there's just no real basis.

Almost everything is subjective when it comes to coaches.

One thing's for sure, if the Cs end up winning 3 championships and gunning for their 4th in 2030, Joe will be in the top 5.

They track the most useless stats now. What a time to be alive.

I must say, Seeing Miami with their “Heat Culture” Jerseys getting absolutely sparked was a beautiful sight.

I am not yet ready to stop rolling around in my own **** celebrating this dominant victory over these opponents.
Time to watch some highlights again.
I know it's January -- but always great to get a win like this. Roll on, 31to6! Roll the **** on.

Will still wait how we do in the postseason, but Cs shredding Spo's defense (or whatever that was) was very satisfying.

My main takeaway is that the Heat look small going up against the C's. Playing a Hero/Rozier/Jimmy/Small forward/Bam lineup is just going to get them swamped by length of Celtics/Bucks/Sixers.

I just read the game thread on the Heat board looking for salty entertainment but I gotta say they took it like champs. Most posters were just bummed about how bad their team is and how badly Butler and some of their other guys have sucked this year.

As far as the Celtics go they think KP is impossible for them to guard, they don't have good defenders to put on the Jays either, they are sick of Derrick White killing them, and they generally don't see their team beating C's in the playoffs at all.

Pretty cool board honestly compared to some of the others.

much respect to you for checking it out and reporting it here, and to them for taking it as they did.

that said -- last year when MIA had the same record as they do now at the same point in the season, I was counting them out. I won't again as long as Jimmy, Bam, and Spo are there -- even knowing that it took epic shooting luck for them to beat us last year -- and even if I do think (like you) that the additions of KP and Jrue tilt the odds significantly in our favor.

VC to KP for changing the entire complexion of this rivalry.
And to JB, thought his steal and dunk when miami was inching back deflated them and sparked the C's who never looked back.

also loved that shot of riley late in the game with his evil mafia boss smirk like, yeah somebody gonna pay for this embarrassment.

You can run that action like 4-5 times in a row and get something different every single time. Really genius setup. Love our Spain sets.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!
