    There are no "examples". As I said, I can't "prove" it doesn't any more than you can prove it does. Given that they all know the game like the back of their hand and the style of play is mostly genized, it's common sense.

    I never said anything about a "conspiracy theory", you're apparently too naive to know that there's a game within' a game (national media) that goes on.
    And of course, they do not know the game as much as you perceive, and the game has seen drastic changes in playing styles due to rule changes. Former players, top notch ones too, have shown to be inept in the front office and as coaches.

    Yes, because blaming the national media isn't conspiracy theory, because I am sure the national media is getting kick backs and all kinds of advantages by pressuring front offices around the league to dish out millions upon millions, every single year on coaching staffs/. Makes perfect sense.

    TIMMYtoZO, no worries, Miami only need some shots to fall and beat a team they were supposed to beat, and there would be nothing to see, no need for some crazy celebration because the Heat will just shoot some shots and make some shots, then make some shots like they are supposed to.

    Wade and Bosh did too. I can't imagine how angry LeBron was seeing Chalmers and Cole go ice cold from three and not having Miller there to take their completely non productive minutes in the 2014 Finals.
    They also replaced Miller with ing Rashard Lewis.

    I didn't say "former players", I said coaches. Anyone coaching in the league in any capacity is well versed in the x's and o's, terminology, strength, weaknesses and tendencies of personal, etc.

    Your lack of basic reading comprehension is appalling. Again, not how I meant it. As I've alluded to, the national media's job is to acquire information and they do that by establishing relationships with people in various capacities throughout the league.

    The ones who play along, they do things for, like continually pushing a narrative that paints certain coaches as geniuses and oftentimes group think sets in and perception becomes reality.

    That’s absolute bull . Butler is a top 5 player in the league. I ing can’t wait for Miami to win this in 7 with Butler winning Finals MVP. This is gonna be poetic. Your Spurs haven’t been worth a for over a decade now. Enjoy your #1 bust.
    Yeah 10 years is a long time not to win a 'ship.

    So coaches matter.


    And it’s shocking how you’d think coaching is all about X’s and O’s and basic technicalities. It’s a people manager role.

    Sure, he's done so much in the league other than shooting the ball.

    Dame with Miami recreates the Heatles. Riley is planning on adding a star this offseason. A week from tonight, the Heat will be champs then get even stronger in the offseason. Fun times ahead.

    In your opinion.

    That was clearly the portion I've been alluding to. As far the portion you now are, that one is more debatable, but I'm still skeptical because it also can't be quantified, we're not privy to it and I strongly suspect the best player(s)/leader(s) of the team generally plays the biggest role in it.

    TimmytoZo dusting off his account after a decade, only to fade back into obscurity shortly after.

    Shortest bandwagon in ST history

    You should quell the hyperbole. No one here, not even you, believes Lillard/Butler/Bam in Miami mimics Lebron/Wade/Bosh/Allen. Lillard's allure is that he stayed with Portland after others abandoned it. If he leaves Portland he's just another journeyman like Harden who is chasing something. He's not the answer. There are very few players in the league who change a team's trajectory that much. Durant in Miami might make a difference, but not Lillard.

    TtoZo’s peak was 2013. When all Spurs fans had to go through “It still hurts.” and he swore on his life Miami would win in 2013 and it happened in the most “lol Spurs” way possible. I hated him so much back then with his trolling but it’s just hilarious now since the Spurs have no reason to hate Miami now.

    He's probably looking at both. He went to GS after they lost to us.
