Imagine if it is Mavericks vs Cavaliers in the finals
Will people finally end up admitting that Kidd and Bickerstaff are not THAT bad at coaching?

I think JBB gets too much undeserved hate. The Cavs have been a playoff caliber team for 3 years now. He can't be that bad.

Just more proof that coaches don't really matter.

Cavs have no chance to make the finals. One win against Boston and people are ready to forget how mightily they struggled against Orlando of all teams.

Milwaukee made a massive leap once Kidd left. That will always weigh heavily in my mind. And Dallas hasn't had any type of unexpected improvement since Kidd arrived.
I didn't realize Bickerstaff was mocked as a bad coach. That rep hits me as undeserved.

sincere question, why do teams pay coaches high 7 figure salaries if they make no difference?

Bickerstaff is decent.
Kidd sucks. That won't change.

If the Cavs make the Finals, it will be in spite of JBB, not because of him.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

I have Minnesota as my favorites to win the whole thing. But there's a lot of basketball left to go predictions mean nothing.

He'd be in the "Doc rivers" bad category, he'll get you to the playoffs, but never will do much there. Theoretically. Not saying he's bad because I dont watch many Cavs games to make that judgement but there's two types of "bad" coaches in a sense.

Bickerstaff is alright, but you cannot sit here and pretend he's an elite coach when the Cavs had to have Mobley and Garland injured to realize their winning formula was Mitchell + Allen.

I ran it on 2K and that's what I got, with the Cavs sweeping. That game loves the Cavs.

If you watched the trainwreck in Brooklyn you definitely wouldn't be saying that.
