They better be! Daniels looks legit.

Yes. You realize that most coaches get fired. Most coaches who get fired never get another chance. And the surest way for a head coach to get fired? Take a job with a rudderless organization that has a bad roster and no short term pathway to improve it significantly. Mazzula for the Celtics...

Awarding Gobert DPOY over Bam is absolutely insane to me. Bam is so much better.

No it isn’t. And I am not rehashing this with you because you don’t know enough to recognize when you are wrong.

No, he isn’t. The Knicks are a collection of good players that work really well together. Trying to credit Brunson for singlehandely elevating them is nonsense.

I said it. You are trying to claim I was wrong while misrepresenting what I said

DC area all the way. Commanders

First… A lot of people don’t eat cheese. 2nd, he didn’t say he didn’t like it. He said he didn’t want it melted on the outside of what he is trying to eat. I love cheese. Taco Bell is disgusting.

People been saying Mazzula is a bad coach all year long. It isn’t just one game.

Celtics are a great example of a mediocre coach who will probably keep his job barring an early playoff upset.

The really crazy thing here? All along Pasta has tried to claim that it is all about coaching. We have all correctly said that while coaching does matter, the roster is more important. No coach is winning with a crap roster. Fast forward 5 years and no Pasta trying to take victory laps...

Dude. You all over the place and majorly twisting my words. This Fizdale convo was going on for like a year. And you running victory laps on 1 post. That is not the quote you attributed to me. You said that I claimed he “would not get fired”. That is not at all what I said here. So yes...

I did not ever say he would not be fired. You are lying. I said you were wrong to blame him. Almost every coach gets fired at some point. And again, I said the roster was highly flawed. A roster built around Randle and Barrett who were making too much money to get a real star and not good...

You don’t want him in Charlotte because you don’t want the podcast to go away? Or is there something else I am missing?

You were wrong about blaming Fizdale for the Knicks problems with a challenged roster. You aren’t wrong that team dynamics don’t work when star players have more authority than the coach, but it is the reality of the NBA today. It isn’t nearly as simple as “taking back control”. And I would...

Broken clock is right twice a day

Wow. Good post from you. I agree.

I agree they could have had more shooting. That isn’t Brooks’ fault. But the way he deployed the players he had is on him.

Scott Brooks was a miserable NBA coach. He had James Harden and washed Derek Fisher splitting minutes the year they made the Finals. Even worse, beyond washed Kendrick Perkins was splitting minutes with Serge Ibaka! And the worst part about that? Literally the only thing Perkins brought on...

Were the Thunder when they let Scott Brooks waste KD and Russ’ prime years?

Because the lakers win enough games off pure talent it masks the crappy job he has done coaching them.

No, not the same. Players whining about missed calls is blaming. That is a bad look. Coaches doing it is different. It is their job to support the players and also politic for the next game. But… Still shouldn’t ever be done in a “this is why we lost tone”. If you blaming the refs...

I hear you. But here is the thing that every coach at every level knows to be true. That is a panic timeout. It is a last second bail out when you see the possession getting away from your team. That is simply not being granted anywhere near 100% of the time. Probably closer to 50/50. Because...

Yes, I agree that the official should be looking at him. But his signal is awkward. It is a sidewise T that looks like a set call. So it is easy for an official to “ignore it” when Nurse is casually looking at the play with his hands up and not acting more urgently to get a timeout. In all...

Looked like the first time he was standing there signaling half heartedly toward the baseline. Not toward the official that is right next to him. When he stepped up the urgency and moved toward the official right next to him, Maxey had already lost the ball.
