Sad that the three main culprits are also the top 3 coaches in the league...
Poop, bud, Kerr have all made terrible decisions when they could have made the obvious call...
It's like Pete Carroll going away from an obvious play with three downs left.
Sad..
Bud and Kerr aren't in the top coaches discussion yet. They haven't been doing it long enough to be there. If they are because of their RS record, then Avery Johnson was a top coach. Sorry, you don't go from top coach to unemployed in 1 or 2 years. You're either a top coach or you aren't.
That would be Pop, RC, Thibs and maybe... Doc.. maybe. The jury is out on the others for a few years. Two years ago everyone talked about Spo like he was up there. Where did that go?
At least Pop, Bud and Kerr are actually trying to coach. Meanwhile, McFail gave up five minutes into the game and started hacking, because he had no adjustments ready at all
Also, Philo is a got.
That's what happens when you hand the keys to your benz to a drunk uncle ...
All coaches have been horrible
(bud) wore himself out running back & forth to his Internet reading his press clippings. He was deep into believing them devoutly when Pierce showed up Crippin' & Bloodin' all over his in' ass.
I think there's a concerted effort by franchises to get certain rules established or changed. They have to make it painful to make that happen. That's so they can have a big man game again instead of this Eurotrash 3pt shootout that's going on now. You cannot have a big man game if your big man gets abused at the FT line.At least Pop, Bud and Kerr are actually trying to coach.

Why else would so many coaches suddenly be employing that strategy when it obviously doesn't work? When has it led to a win? If anything, it's cost teams games, because it stops the game both ways and coaches typically do it when the other team has momentum. Pop is smarter though, he did it when his team had momentum. That's called being a visionary.
(Pop) couldn't resist being Pop at the end there with the seeding. Centralized Media begged that bas to win it, but, no, the stubborn thing couldn't stop himself. Could not do it. Had to show everybody.
Then got deep into the hack.
Comes home at 3-2 and can't find his ass with both hands.
LMFAO!!!
Agreed. Poops was a disgrace.
You've no room. I recall someone here being 3-1 and a short time later talking about golf.
& you've even less room. You had the in' thing in the case, your gift card from some knockoff Chinese NBA importer at the ready in front of your CPU when they flashed the on the television.
No, mother er, no. You did not get that first 5th. Took you the next June to get it.
And then:::
3-2
Since there's no room, why are you trying to lodge?
Cub's been extra salty these past few days.
But when I was checkin assholes, he wouldn't dare do a thing.
Because you're currently holding the sandwich. You're the one who came home 3-2 and then had to boogie right back out to the airport.
Christ, it's only been a week & a bit. And the first 72 hours you & Midst wouldn't even acknowledge the loss.
Just shut up and shine.
3-2 and you thought you had it in the bag. tee, hee.
He made a bad call saying the Spurs would win it all, plane/mountain all that.
Then he comes in and acts like the "going to be a problem" comment was going in the other direction. He's taken credit for both interpretations, good and bad.
I guess you take any port in a storm.
it's cute watching mchale try to employ the hack strategy, dude just does it randomly. and a lot. and as soon as he stops doing it the Clips score 8 points in 30 seconds
I called it both times. You just weren't around to see it. I called it in 2013 as well, and caught for it, then everyone acted like I didn't call it. Same with Curry, and everyone including you will forget it ever happened though through 3 years you've not dropped it one time.
Can't blame Pop imho, the Spurs would've been a lottery team with anyone else being in Pop's position. Diaw and Splitter are contract s who've never been the same since signing big deals. Green s his pants throughout the season, and the likes of Patty and Beli don't even play a lick of defense, though their offensive efficiency is passable. They only have four good players in Duncan, Manu, Parker and Kawhi, and outside of Kawhi the other three are old and broken as .
Haha, now that the count is tied you're out of ammo. You're a beaut for sure.
Jordan would have better results if he didn't walk away from the FT line after every shot, or act like he's about to attempt a triple Lindy off the 40m dive with the breathing exercise. I mean he can't do worse than he's doing at the line, even blindfolded, so just stand there and shoot the goddamned thing. Why are fundamentals so ing hard for these ers to grasp? Do they spend too much time playing monkeyball and pickup games that they cannot be trained?it's cute watching mchale try to employ the hack strategy, dude just does it randomly. and a lot. and as soon as he stops doing it the Clips score 8 points in 30 seconds
I said Leonard was going to be a problem and I was right on the money. It was CN who claimed he was going to be great. Not me. Him.
And what happened to you in California had a mountain range feeling to it.
ha, ha.
It kinda worked in game 5 imho. Rivers had to sub out Demonkey due to Spurs' hack-a-monkey, which made it easier for the Spurs to score and grab rebounds. It disrupts the other team's offensive rhythm, yes, but the main purpose of such strategies is to restrict the playing time of a player whom you have no regular solution to (prime Shaq, the initial example). So you don't see hack-a-Rondo or anything, even if they shoot FT's just as bad or even worse.
Yeah, and when he did well you said "Me" and when he did poorly you said "Me".
You didn't specify who he was going to be a problem for... exactly. You know as well as I do that you're hedging bets.
"where can I go where the cold winds don't blow"...
I get it that intentional fouls are effective, they do it in late game situations to avoid allowing the 3, even if it's not away from the ball. What I don't get though is why a coach would do it during a momentum swing in your favor when up tempo is your ally. Also, in the Shaq days where most decent teams played inside out, you weren't reliant on the tempo as much to score at the other end. Now you are, so you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Teams today are too reliant on emotional surge instead of solid post play and kick outs.
