it would be embarrassing and shows how gimmicky and flukish their whole WCF run was..if Cancer Rondo didn't suit up for the Mavericks in first two games, Carlisle would have coached circles around Mchale and might have upset them..

Harden playing lights out last year hid a lot of the bad tendencies of that team. I never understood how that team even scored buckets last year.

That Rockets team live by the three, and will die by the three. Last season they lived by it, this season they are dying by it too.

Clippers and Doc Rivers choking 3-1 lead to a Harden/Howard core coached by Mcfail is pathetic on a historical level..

Ya, Tom Rivers has had teams blow 3-1 leads more than any coach in league history IIRC, but this one was by far the worst:lol..

He actually doesn't follow and use analytics as much as he should IMO..he makes a lot of personnel decisions that you would expect from an antiquated type of GM IMO..

Once they find a coach in place for McHale they`ll make the playoffs. Still plenty of time for new coach to turnaround this team.

Again, the Rockets are in the same situation as the 2012-13 Lakers. Makes a trade for a point guard, expected to finish w/ the best record in the league, Dwight Coward starts the season injured & new point guard contributes absolutely nothing, fires incompetent head coach who should have never been hired & replaces him w/ Bickerstaff. The difference is that HarDone isn't as good as Kobe thus he won't be able to dig them out of the hole. I hope they hire Pringles:lol but Dwight has beef w/ him.

2012-12 Lakers: Coach: Mike Brown (1-4), Bernie Bickerstaff (4-1), Mike D'Antoni (40-32)

Killakobe81

11-23-2015, 12:29 PM

Let's see 3 of the most advanced metric Organizations:

1. Cubes breaks up a title team to chase, Paul (choker) Howard (scam artist) and Deandre
2. Morey: Great drafting crappy development, coaching and planning
3. Grizz: let's hire Hollinger king of the PER but let's not sign draft any 3 pt shooters ...

Metrics, metrics metrics!

Point is metrics wont save a bad front office.

spursistan

11-23-2015, 01:20 PM

This is where advanced statistics and Moreyball cant do. Measure the heart, effort, desire, personality and ability to get along with teammates. This is where you make a judgement depending in your scouts as to fit. The Spurs do a tremendous job of not putting cancers in the locker room.
tbh...

Even with Pop sticking around, the loss of Duncan/Ginobili combo of leadership and other stabilizing intangibles will be majorly felt for the Spurs in next couple of years..
