The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

KG.

There's a couple of guys I'm position to over take him with career earnings, specifically AD but he's gotta stay healthy for at least the next 12-14 seasons.

Winslow needa develop the shot, handle, and everything else that isn't contingent on being athletic

I agree. I might be the only person who doesn't like Winslow as a prospect at all. Dude basically put his head down and overpowered smaller players all year. He won't be able to do that in the pros. I just don't see him being more than a rotation guy off the bench. Is he a good 3 point shooter or monster rebounder?

I understand the worries about him relying on brute strength and athleticism to get by, but he's a pretty good passer, rebounds very well, solid ball handler and is a good standstill shooter. His shooting off the bounce is horrific though.

From 15th to 1st in offense, and Alvin Gentry deserves the lions share of that credit. 

Good luck having him as your head coach, yall gonna be vastly disappointed that AD was wasted

Some dudes fit much better as assistants, I would wager a lot of money Gentry is one of those dudes

I would love to see them go with some new blood not a re tread

And AD would be wasted in an elite offense how?

Cuz they wouldn't be winning 

Btw, how was GS 15th in offense last season? They were top 10 in points and FG%

 

[awwsome]

Monty Williams was horrific on both sides of the ball and you think its bad to bring in a coach who's great on offense?


Wouldn't be winning but they won with a worse coach?

Alright man.

 

[xbiker47]

2010 Suns were talented and a well constructed team.

Too bad they broke up that summer.

Uh, no I think they should just bring in new blood

They made the playoffs because KD missed damn near the entire season

He's a gifted assistant, I wouldn't depend on him to be the head coach

Whenever he had talented players, he succeeded as a head coach.


Amare blossomed under him and AD would do the same, current NO team is built similarly to the PHX teams he excelled with.

Don't understand what's so hard to understand, if he wasn't good as a head coach, every team with a vacancy wouldn't be on him.

I rarely recall having him to create his own shots consistently, most of his points came off effort plays, like putbacks and in transition

Amare would have blossomed under Scotty Brooks. He was a monster regardless of who was coaching him

Don't try to talk down to me bro, we can talk ball without doing that 

Mike Brown has gotten 2nd and 3rd chances, teams can be on coaches who don't belong

He excelled one season with the Suns. One out of four

 

[atransta]

With OKC's luck this season from all the injuries OKC will get a top 3 pick 

not srs

Amare would have blossomed under Scotty Brooks. He was a monster regardless of who was coaching him

scotty would have played the current amare 20-30 mins per (in line with his vet retirement package philosophy)..

so not sure how long amare would have lasted under scotty (given the injuries he had under coaches who maybe had more control.. or restraint.. or sense)

Tbh, MDA had Amare flourishing. Amare's numbers actually went down when Gentry became coach and Amare bolted to NYC and flourished again with MDA

I personally don't think MDA is fit to be a head coach but admit he is an offensive genius and should be an assistant with someone or possibly given one last chance to head coach. Do I think Gentry is a better coach then MDA? No

He did well when he took over the team mid season and the season after before they ****** with the roster.

He took them to the damn conference finals while putting up 110 a game and ever since has been transforming teams offenses and is responsible for one of the best ones ever.

He's paid his dues and if I was a Pelicans fan I'd love to have him coach AD.

 

[IATT]

couldn't help but take the opportunity to point out Scotty's philosophy when it came to vets.. wasn't knocking your point

 

[antidope]

I hope that Philly ends get getting all three of the picks. Validate the Tankapalooza Adam Silver, DO IT.

I'm not trying to knock your opinion at all

I forget what your stance on MDA is? How do you compare Gentry to MDA

Lowkey want the big markets (LA, NY and Philly) to get the top three picks to give a FU to the small markets for the lockout.

MDA fooled clueless lakers fans into thinking nick young was worth resigning

that alone is HOF coach worthy
