Tom Thibodeau is the best coach in the NBA, tbh..

[HarlemHeat37]

Every coach has their flaws, Thibs's flaw is overplaying his players during the regular season, but overall, he's the best coach in the NBA, tbh, only Pop is close..

His system is elite, he can plug in players that fit the system, the lack of talent on his team hasn't hindered their success..they have been missing their "franchise player" and still managed to win a series, now up 1-0 on the defending champs..

Unfortunately, Thibodeau has been given a coward for a star player(and a PG, which exacerbates the problem)..

:lol Doc Rivers getting any credit for the Celtics success..

[Latarian Milton]

it's a wake-up call for us imho. my nigga bron will rally the troops and backdoor sweep the FUCK out of chicago tbh

[Clipper Nation]

Did Popovich retire all of a sudden or something? Thibs needs to get on Pop's level first, and stop running his players into the ground in the regular season, tbh....

[HarlemHeat37]

It's too bad Derrick Rose was too much of a coward to recruit Lebron, tbh..

Lebron in Thibodeau's system would be unreal..

[hater]

It'd be hilarious if Bulls win the championship with rose in a suit :lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Running players into the ground is a minor flaw compared to most other coaches, tbh, it's very fixable..

Having a successful system is the key to being a good coach in the NBA, more important than in-game adjustments and rotations IMO..Thibodeau's system does not rely on talent, unlike every other coach in the NBA outside of Pop..

[Clipper Nation]

It'd be hilarious if Bulls win the championship with rose in a suit :lmao

That faggot would come back for the series clinching game to dribble out the clock just so he could take credit :lol

[BatManu20]

Knee-jerk reaction. He's a great coach but not best in the league.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's not based on one game, I've been sayin it for a minute..

Other than Pop, no other coach even compares to Thibs, tbh..

[irishock]

Both Thibs and Pop have gotten backdoor swept the previous 2 years tbh

[Johnny RIngo]

That faggot would come back for the series clinching game to dribble out the clock just so he could take credit :lol

Wouldn't be surprised. He's the worst MVP winner in recent memory(might have to go back a few decades to find someone shittier)

Jackson, Riley, Daly, Brown and everyone else has been swept at some point. As usual, you make another stupid post.

just pointing out tbh :cry

[Latarian Milton]

i guess ANY coach would look like a genius vs. a team being coached by phillibeaner tbh. carlisle was also vaunted as the best coach of the league following their victory in 11' finals

[HarlemHeat37]

Carlisle is a solid coach, too, tbh..

He relies on vets too much, but he has a good system on both ends..

[StrengthAndHonor]

Man, can we trade Vinny back to the Bulls for Thibs? I'd even throw Bledsoe as a filler.

[resistanze]

Disagree Pop is still the best.

Tibbs is probably 2nd best

Doc kept Celts relevant and playing good defense even after tibbs left ...

[Killakobe81]

RC is good too he and tibbs battling for 2nd tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Horrible coaching job from Pop tonight, tbh..still a top 2 coach, but past his prime, tbh..

[Johnny RIngo]

Worst since David Robinson, tbh

Well, the MVP is a regular season award and Robinson was born to play those first 82 games. Everybody knows why he has no Finals MVPs though.

[racm]

Boiled down:::

Pop: 4

Thibs: 0

[Johnny RIngo]

Thibs probably deserves '08 more than Doc

[100%duncan]

Pop is still better imo. And I don't get the hate on Doc tbh, he did all he could do with that shitty washed up roster who was missing their best player tbh.

[Kidd K]

Sorry, but I have to disagree here, especially with the basis of your agrument being "every coach has his flaws", when Thibs has huge, gaping flaws that are more dramatic than almost any other big flaw other coaches have.

Thibs' playbook isn't even a book, it's a pamphlet. Most of the time it seems like the guy has no offensive plans at all. It's like when he calls a timeout for a play, he just says, "I don't know, fuck it. Do whatever you want on offense, but play D the way I'm telling you to".

The Bulls are my 2nd favorite team too, so I'm not shitting on a random guy here. I have seen over 100 Bulls games since Thibs became coach, and I can safely say has next to zero aptitude for offense. He is the defensive version of Mike D'Antoni. Let's also not neglect to mention how he rides his best guys into the ground. . .it's not shocking to me that every single one of his best players end up hurt every year.

MVPs shouldn't let their teams lose by 40 in a close out gamePERIOD

[quentin_compson]

Wouldn't be surprised. He's the worst MVP winner in recent memory(might have to go back a few decades to find someone shittier)

I would say since Iverson. Sure he scored a lot this season, but the Sixers as a whole were successful because they had a very good system around Iverson that allowed him to showcase his strengths and make up for his weaknesses as a player and a leader.

Larry Brown as a top defensive coach (he coached the freaking Bobcats to the best D in the league, tbh).
Dikembe Mutombo was DPOY.
Aaron McKie was Sixth Man of the Year.

His team was stacked. He just got all the shots, and the media loves points (and back then advanced stats weren't in vogue). The East sucked that year, and they needed a 47 win Toronto team to miss a game winning 3 in Game 7 to advance...

Wait, what?!
Without pops great time out plays Spurs lose that game ...
Best active coach imho

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop is the best inbounds play caller in the league, no doubt about that, tbh..

His rotations were terrible last night, though..as was his defensive game plan, tbh..we'll see how he adjusts..

While Thibodeau overplays his guys, Pop coddles his guys too much, tbh..

Either way, they are easily the 2 best coaches in the league..

Coaching tiers in the NBA, tbh..

Elite
Pop
Thibodeau

Good
Rick Carlisle
Rick Adelman
Frank Vogel

Above average coaches, but nothing special
George Karl
Doc Rivers
Erik Spoelstra
Lionel Hollins
Mike Woodson(he's the most overrated in the league, tbh)

Good assistant coaches
Mike Brown
Mike D'Antoni
Larry Drew
Scott Brooks
Terry Stotts
Randy Whittman


Coaches that hurt your team and don't specialize in any facet of the game
Mark Jackson
Duane Casey
Keith Smart
Monty Williams
Kevin McHale
Vinny Del Negro
Ty Corbin

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I don't disagree with where D'antoni is, but he'd make a horrible assistant at this point. He's an egotistical wop.

[mercos]

He's definitely up there, but I wouldn't put him past Pop until he has won at least one ring as a head coach. Its going to be tough these next few years as Miami is likely to be dominant, but Pop had to go through the Lakers in the early 2000s so there is no excuse.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't disagree with where D'antoni is, but he'd make a horrible assistant at this point. He's an egotistical wop.

I agree that none of those coaches on that tier would ever accept assistant jobs at this point, especially considering the NBA stupidly recycles coaches, rarely giving outsiders a chance..

I meant that D'Antoni is a specialist, at least he knows one facet of the game, unlike the coaches on the next tier..

[Latarian Milton]

its funny how people put thibodeau at same tier with pop just because he managed to outwit a nasty monkey who spent his childhood on a tropical island and who has basically no business how to coach a team. Pop is in a class of his own imho
