Never been the biggest fan of Schroeder but one thing is for certain he shoots like he does not give a ****.. And sometimes that's what you need in a tight match up.

28-34 for the pistons free throws to the Knicks 16-19. There’s the difference in the game.

Didn’t think the young Pistons would hold onto the lead. Looked like another possible collapse…. Knicks are in for a long series

I don’t know who I want to win, because I like Jokić and Kawhi. I want RW to do well too, just because he gets so much flack and he’s not even a bad person or role model. I think I’m just going to root for the best team to win.

I have also always loved Kawhi because there's nothing fancy about his game he just rises up with his high release point and pulls jumpers anywhere and every time he needs to.

And when healthy he's a great defender..

Honestly I can't believe he's still playing because I thought he'd never be able to come back and stay.

If your standard is championship and perfection only, then there aren’t many coaches in the history of the game, good enough for you! Idc if they aren’t top level playoff good, running into GSW doesn’t help, they got the second seed. They have no superstar yet, couple really solid players and young up and comers. To get them there in the West, that’s good coaching!

It’s always us on the sidelines, never ever going to get a chance to coach a GL team much less in the NBA, acting like we know what it takes. They must be good at something to even get to that level.

Are there coaches not good enough to get to the promised land in the NBA? Absolutely. Those same coaches coach excellent college teams and a lot of the time they win championships!


Let some people tell it, you would think Red won chips with mediocre players, instead of teams with multiple HOF! He wasn’t out there winning with get it out the mud players!

It's ironic that Brad Stevens couldn't get the Cs to the Finals and Joe and Ime did.


I think a lot of the coaching has to do with fit and timing, not good or bad. A coach can gel with one group and win then look like he’s not good with another. It’s hard to get a group of men to fall in line. These guys have some of the biggest egos in the world, that’s how they get there, managing all of that is a feat.

KM hates George Karl and he still thinks he’s a good coach, just wasn’t right for them.


(Talking NBA)

Agree on all your points.

That's the reason why the coach is not such a big deal for me.

As long as it's a good fit and the player-coach relationship is great then that's all you need.

If it's just based on X's and O's then Brad Stevens should still be coaching this Celtics team.

I hope this series will be a 7-game one. Two heavy weights exchanging blows.

Damn MPJ and Gordon choking hard for the nuggets lol. I still think the nuggets have a better chance against okc than the clips.

Not sure why the Clipps' had the ball in Harden's hand instead of Kawhi's, didn't matter in the end I guess.

Jokic choked. Fist, the lazy pass turnover. Then, he should have called a timeout as soon as he rebounded Braun's miss with 4 seconds remaining. To be fair, anyone else could have called a timeout on his behalf, but he put up a desperation heave with 2 seconds remaining & a timeout left. Incredible.

I'd say he was tired, but he always looks tired, so who knows.

Bad L by the nuggets. I expect the thunder to end the grizzlies series pretty quick.

MPJ caught with his feet in the air on a pass, then faked a shoulder injury after the turnover lol. Gordon missed a wide open dunk. If kawhi plays every game, they might lose this series

Same as last season, I’m hoping every non-Celtics series goes 7 games with multiple OTs.

So disappointed watching Thibs projecting by blaming the refs. He knows the real problem was the new shiny thing for Knick fans had 10pts and 6rebs.
