Dead #@$.
Let's go.
Same to you CP.
You know what happens when you have GLARING personnel issues (NO perimeter shooting, attitude problems, ghost status problems, no dribble penetration for a majority of the season), and a huge coaching issue? You are the Bobcats. You are the Kings. You are the Cavs (and I say this every time I mention Scott: growing up, THAT was my favorite Laker behind Magic... but he sucks as a coach).
But I'm talking too much.
Names. And I'll show you the passes you're giving.
"What about all the excuses from the pro-MB camp?" AIN'T NOBODY PRO-MB; WE'RE ANTI-'ANTI-MB'. HEEEE is not the problem. A mid-tier coach w/ TERRIBLE roster issues does not mean he's now a terrible coach.
Again, too many words.
Names.
My first remark to AG, who is askin for Sloan? Not this guy. If you listenin to random names gettin tossed out, that's on you, not me man. I called Sloan out as a coach in like 2008.
Ska, for your list, it ain't about passes. I forgot to even add, Mike Brown has had Lebron, and Kobe. Not a single other coach I name will have had them. So save the passes.
For instance, a guy I do like, Monty Williams, gets those bums to compete every night. With ZERO talent. Like to see what he could do with some great players, and then our zero talent guys.
Nate McMillan. Don't think all that much of him, but he coaches a broken roster every year, and gets to 50 wins every year. (til this year) Not sayin he's special, or elite, hell, I don't think he could work a rotation very well either, but he can make adjustments in game. Maybe with a complete roster, with 3 BIG talents, and Sessions, he could do something. (and hopefully not ACL our entire roster)
Jeff Van Gundy. His defense is every bit Brown's. But he handles a rotation better. And he's had good teams, coached in a big market, but never had a Kobe/Bron to carry him.
Byron Scott. He wears his welcome out after 4 years. Perfect. We only needed him for 4, then he could leave when Kobe/Pau/Artest, etc do. Got the Nets, I say the Nets to the Finals TWICE, with Jason Kidd's broke jumper and little else. Got the Hornets to a game 7 in the 2nd round, with Chris Paul and nobody else. Give him Kobe, and twin towers + Sessions, could he get just a little bit further? Bet he could. Oh, AND he's a Laker, a real one. True to life Laker.
Brian Shaw, eh. Not really worried about him. Could have had him, kept some of the triangle, eh. Not my first, or second or third choice, but he's better than Mike Brown.
Adelman. Not great, but good. Better offense than Defense. Always had good talent, never an All NBA first team SG, with a second team C, with a PF who could have flourished and been a 2nd-3rd team selection and then a speedy PG if that trade still came about.
Brown failed for multiple years with Lebron. Made 1 finals when Lebron blacked out vs the aging Piston roster, otherwise, he would have never even made a single Finals, and yet won the conference back to back years, and couldn't win on his own homecourt. Even the Finals he was gifted, didn't win a single game. And he came this close to getting us bounced out in round 1 against a team that had NO buisness beating us. And George Karl is terrible, and even HE outcoached the !*++ out of Brown.
(Serious, George Karl is garbage, have said so for yearssssssss)
ANY of those coached would have been better than Mike. Mike has had 2 of the greatest to ever play the game, and failed every single time in tragic fashion. Those other coaches have never had a roster like this (minus the Adelman Kings and oh by the way, if not for Phil Jackson, Adelman might have some jewelery, either in Portland or Sac
)
