Ben Simmons will finally start shooting 3's?
Ben Simmons will finally start shooting 3's?
If there is one thing D'Antoni is skilled at, it's losing when a heavy favorite
A match made in Hades. Embiid's knees are going to break in half by midseason.
Jimmy Butler left because he felt the team was undisciplined and not focused enough on defense... D'Antoni doesn't fix those issues.
Literally can't think of a worse fit.
On the other hand Sixers should finally decide between Simmons and Embiid and trade the other one while they have value.
Are they trying to tank? From Embiid being useless in a D'Antoni system, to him and Ben likely being run down in a D'Antoni team, to not having the personnel to run the system itself, there couldn't be a worse fit.
They have no gameplan after "the process". They had their chance and now they're just throwing at the wall.
white privilege tbh
So the small ball, take 50 3s per game coach goes to a team with a dominant big man and a PG who can’t shoot?
D’Antoni is the modern Motta. Their coaching styles are nothing alike. The point is that Motta had a sub .500 record, and was hired enough times to accrue a 935-1017 record. People kept hiring him, when they probably should have moved on from whatever ineffective system he ran over decades.
I'll never understand the appeal to D'Antoni considering he seems to the bed when he is the heavy favorite. The amount of times his teams have "the odds on favorite" is hilarious.
76ers is basically the opposite of Pringle's system. All size, no shooting.
He's going to the Pacers.
Pringles is done. He just don’t know it yet. I wouldn’t be surprised if no one hired him with his whiny exit in Houston. Crying how his bosses’ boss didn’t call him after losing.
I was about to say the same thing. Dude is finished.
But his teams have an entertainment factor for Casual Fan, and owner$$$ know this. Puts people in seats, gets some TV viewership.
Rockets, could not help but get some good LOLs when watching Harden and not knowing if he was coming off a strip club night where he dropped a portion of his mega millions on strippers and booze and was just sleepwalking thru the game or....having one of his good games. The guy, for all of his flopping bull and mostly ball hogging ways he does have some great shooting nights and some great assist nights. We've seen him make some kick ass passes when he chooses to draw attention and dishes off.
If there is anyone who knows how to lose a sure thing...
This seems like a bad potential hire and a non-fit on every level. I never understand most NBA hires really.
You gonna push the ball andnot set up the offense when you have an old school center nor a team with many starting spot up 3 pt shooters
lol, this will be funny as
When will the NBA give up on Pringle’s??? Lol
Embiid will retire in 3 years.
D'Antoni will also have a what if career. What if Amare and Diaw didn't run off the bench. What if Rockets hit a 3 instead of going 0-27. He is a one trick poney, that get's the most out of his team during the regular season. Which as result, gets owners to pay to make one run.
He actually looked done after his NYK stint. Then, along came GS, winning and winning. Humans, being what they are, only saw their flawless offense, not their suffocating top 3 defense, and though Three First Names could replicate it.
Yeah. And doesn't Mike D have a thing against traditional big men? Not the coach Embiid needs at all at this point in his career.
Mike hates bigmen, loves outside shooters. Philly's 2 stars are a bigman and a guy with no range. Yikes!
i thought he was done after NYK.
Then after the Lakers debacle.
He just keeps rising from his grave like Jason Voorhees, The Rolling Stones, and other undead creatures...
