Quote:
I know we're not supposed to like him but damn I enjoy Lebron


Quote:
CANNOT WAIT for a second too small call from Pat Bev


Quote:
Too many lakers fans in this stadium what the (bleep)


Quote:
I’d secretly love to take Reaves from the Lakers


Quote:
Billy is still employed here


Quote:
So it’s going to Be Austin Reaves tonight playing prime Curry


Quote:
Uh oh, we are getting cooked


Quote:
Im going to be really sad if Lebron kills our playoff hopes for the 80th time in his career, especially now as an old man


Quote:
Lakers look like a different team lol from Sunday


Quote:
Vuc cooking everyone else got high with Billy before the game again


Quote:
What the (bleep) is this Billy


Quote:
I looked it up, but the Lakers do in fact take the most free throw attempts in the NBA. The pistons are second which surprised me lol


Quote:
The league really wants to make Austin Reaves happen


Quote:
Lakers realized you can just immediately double Zach and let Caruso and Bev be offensively challenged.


Quote:
Im getting so high after this one


Quote:
Arguably Vuc’s best game of the season and it’s completely wasted


Quote:
This is just so painful man


Quote:
Keep this energy (bleep) the Lakers and their plastic fans!!


Quote:
Billy better not play Beverly and Caruso together the rest of the game.


Quote:
Our sub is not as active as the Lakers sub but damn is it less toxic 😂


Quote:
AD completely abusing vooch


Quote:
i promise i didnt need the graphic about how much lebron has owned the bulls on the broadcast


Quote:
Wasted Vuc masterclass tonight


Quote:
Where this dude reeves come from?


Quote:
Reeves slowly becoming my least favorite player in the league lol


Quote:
Vanderbilt should be a bull


Quote:
austin "who the fck are you" reaves have shot more free throws than zach, vooch, caruso and beverley combined. or he is tied with coby vooch zach caruso and beverley combined.

kind crazy ngl


Quote:
I will (bleep) hate Billy if he seriously runs the caruso and pat bev lineup again


Quote:
lmao this reaves fella and free throws


Quote:
Davis is a baby and Schroeder is a b****


Quote:
This team just sucks and Billy is clueless


Quote:
Everyone saying AD was acting id love to elbow you in the nuts and see how’d you’d react


Quote:
Lebron owns us and demar


Quote:
getting clowned by austin nobody


Quote:
Blow. it. up.


Quote:
Unpopular opinion: maybe Bev’s taunts aren’t necessary? Doesn’t really fit with our team vibe and after tonight’s loss he’s gonna make us look kinda dumb


Quote:
Billy’s rotations at times are frustrating beyond belief. AD lebron Gabriel in? Let’s have DJJ at the 5. They sit let’s bring out vuc. BRO we can’t get a rebound ffs
Drum or vuc shoujd be out there unless they are playing small ball. AD in one of them in period


Quote:
Wow must be nice to have a coach that knows how to coach.


Quote:
We just need to hold them and hit 4 quick 3s


Quote:
Can’t wait until this season is over

All the fans complain about all the time is the coach. If it was up to the fans vote they'd say there's maybe 1 or 2 competent coaches in the entire league and every other coach is a fraud who doesn't know what they're doing. Who'd ever want to be a coach :S

Oh, but if your name is Doc Rivers then you actually are a fraud who doesn't know what they're doing

Its funny reading other teams forums after we beat them and seeing them praise Ham. It gives you some perspective on how we view coaches.

I love that so many fans are still sleeping on how good Austin Reaves is. Every team’s fans seem to think it’s a fluke. They’re learning.

LOL, I spit coke! Ain't that the truth? Every fanbase thinks they're smarter than their coach.

They may have swept up Caruso away from us, but Reaves isn’t going anywhere.

Yup. Even the GOAT Phil Jackson was hated on for years despite winning chip after chip.

He was called senile for not calling timeouts. People hated his lineups, called Luke Walton his son, etc.

I mean…that’s not totally wrong though? So many coaches currently in the league ARE HORRIBLE, and have no right being a coach in this league.

- Chauncey Billups
- Doc Rivers
- Steve Clifford
- Dwayne Casey
- Jason Kidd
- Stephen Silas
- Wille Green

When this season started, Nate McMillin, Steve Nash, etc. There are so many horrible coaches this era. The only actual good ones are Greg Pop, Eric Spolstra, Steve Kerr, and maybe Rick Carlisle. That’s it. The rest that are coaching teams with good records, are just basically copying the current era NBA offense with no originality. And are just getting by with talent.

The biggest difference between coaches is talent. Sp*rs fans hated Pops' rotations even when they were winning. The Dubs had a better record with Kerr out and Luke Walton coaching than they did with Kerr..

With 6 to 10 assistant coaches, there's no variance among any of the teams regarding Xs & Os. The two main skills of an NBA head coach are motivation & ego management. A lot of times, screwed up rotations are a function of managing egos and are sometimes dictated by contract (the GM promised a guy minutes during contract negotiations or wants to showcase someone). The coach is an employee, too, so it's not about "standing up to the GM/owner," either. Coaches get fired for not playing the guys that the FO wants to see.

I just gave up trying to explain this in the game threads the first person that everybody looks at is the coach, but it seems like all teams hate their coach no matter what. Oh well he’s getting paid the big bucks he can take it.

Coaches are the easiest to 2nd guess. All of them have weaknesses.

Ham - struggles with rotations
Vogel - rudimentary offensive design, reliance on Lebron ball.

Etc.

I disagree to a certain degree. Coaches need staffs that give them balance.

For all the flack Vogel got he struggled when he lost Kidd. They provided balance to one another. Even last year as the coach this team was 500 when he still had Rondo with him as his voice to the team. Frank without Kidd, Dudley, and Rondo could not connect.

Doc has not fully connected with a team and won anything since Thibs left him. Thibs was his adjustment guy and Doc was the personality guy. Thibs never got to the top without Doc.

Even Phil for as great as he was brought Cleamons, Hamblen, and Tex with him. They added in Hodges when he wanted to put an emphasis on shooting. Phil had a balance in his locker room that no one could disrupt which is why it’s the only staff Kareem was ever welcomed on.

Van Gundy routinely relied on Ewing by his side.

Spo has some of the same video men he came up with and he’s damn near got a player coach relationship with Haslem that he relies on when he can’t get through to guys to the point Haslem was go f up Butler.

I think everyone has the X and O knowledge but few have the ability to mesh it together with personalities, practical application, and teaching. I mean look no further than Luke who killed it as a warriors assistant because he and Kerr spoke the same language
