Thank you.
That was mostly tongue in cheek. AJ is overrated as a coach. He had the horses to defend Wade, but spent the entire Finals ing about the officiating.
It's great that AJ hit a jumper a couple years back to win us our first ring, but people need to get over him.
Thank you.
Avery was outcoached in last years playoffs.
He can't be blamed for the Mavs failures, but he has a part in it. Mavs were playing out of their minds in 06 but now are exposed, as is Avery.
His team had a bad match up and Dirk was hobbled.
So tell me how thats his fault again?
He can't go out and make Josh Howard not choke, nor heal Nowitzki's foot.
So he couldn't draw up ANY plays to score against Nellie's zone?
Why'd he change his lineup in the first game?
Just saying that he deserves some of the blame for the Mavs failures. Who knows, maybe a change of scenery will do him good, after all he always tried to model the Mavs after the Spurs.
He changed it trying to matchup to Golden State.
It was a bad move, only in that he didn't have Brandon bass yet.
had they had Bass last year they win that series.
You'd think AJ would have learned what not to do from Pop the previous year: You don't make adjustments for lesser teams, you make them adjust to you.
By the way, time for AJ to adjust to the Hornets.
No.
I would love to hire Avery...we need a good piss boy to scrub the urinals in the SBC center.
No. He'd eventually be a team cancer just like he became during his waning years with the Spurs.
Besides, Cuban is not going to fire him anyway. AJ has too many years left on his current contract. Cuban isn't about to pay a coach a salary to sit on the sidelines or worse yet, go to a rival team.
When was this that Avery was a team cancer?
Avery as assistant coach wouldnt be so bad. He could probably give Parker a few pointers as a former veteran Spurs PG
I think we should welcome Avery back as a much-loved son who ran with the wrong crowd (mavericks), made some mistakes, and now wants to come home and be a humble servant.
He could learn how to coach under Pop and as an assistant he could provide something that the Spurs could use hopefully.
If he can't help out with the coaching, he could carry some bags or something.
AJ.
Pop wont bring him in.
Who knows after that...
AJ has to have "confidence"...haha
no and no... what the did larry brown ever do for us? all he did was make me a pissed off little kid watching the spurs back in the day. both him and avery.
Why AJ?.. he is one of my heroes!.. how dare you use his name in vain!!! ..I hope you die of cancer after being ran over by a bull dozer driven by a monkey with a boner, beaten up by downy midgets and pooed on by barbra streisand after getting licked by a cute and fuzzy little kitten!
He could be a mascot as earlier stated, in some kind of koala bear outfit with the whole midget dominance slash weird voice complex.
This topic fails
replacing pop would be equivilant to etting a whiny suns fan be president
Im assuming the idea here is to hire Avery as Pop's assistant, and not replacing Pop with him.
I dont know. Avery as an assistant would probably work out ok. Pop knows what he wants and when he wants it, and any little Averyisms that plague Dallas probably wouldn't pop up with Pop in charge. But I doubt Avery would take an assistant's position 2 years removed from a coach of the year award.
No to Avery Johnson on the Spurs but...
New Pe ion for the rest of the SW Division
Please Mark Cuban. Do NOT Fire Avery Johnson!
