I know this is an oxymoron since you don't think but have you stopped to think that most of these all-time great coaches had zero pedigree and titles but allowed themselves to be coached by these would be all-time great coaches?

Greg Pop, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley all had zero championships and in some cases zero head coaching experience. Maybe if they had to coach in today's generation with a coach Killer like LeNomad who knows how their careers would have ended?

If David Blatt and Spoelstra had their asses on fire and Blatt got the axe even with a 30-11 record the year after the Cavs lost the finals in unfortunate circumstances. Who says those greats would have gotten a chance to shine?

You're a Muppet else you would always apply context when dropping analogies

Coach Spoelstra was under some heat as well not just LeNomad. Don't come here and try to revise history. The Heat were under intense scrutiny all season long because of their average start which led to them finishing second in the East behind the Bulls.

You prove yourself first by showing you have potential. This bampot really expected david blatt or mike brown to turn into pantheon great coaches. News flash nyarf, these guys just dont have it. Phil carried the bulls out of the first round in his first season, a feat they couldnt achieve consecutive years prior, pat won a title in his first season. This dolt thinks david blatt who has still not coached an nba team since and mike brown were going to become great coaches. daftness at its peak grin

Dude, this dimwit claimed larry hughes played 36 games and hes the one that got the cavs into the playoffs and im the clown! cheesy cheesy
Helped the Cavs get into the playoffs. Helped. I'm applying the same logic Bronsexuals use when they claim Scottie Pippen helped the GOAT get past the first round

ReysonDrabek:

Let me do the math for you since you are too stupid to see the gaffe you just committed. It means the cavs were 27 19 without him and still on pace for the playoffs without him. Legendary levels of foolishness here, you cant make this shit

because larry hughes 36 games got the cavs into the playoffs LMAO! I dont know what you do now but you will make a spectacular jester.
This does nothing to refute the point that based on Bronsexual logic Larry Hughes got the Cavs in the playoffs. I don't have time for the rest of your 'On pace' megedefegede. It does not disprove the point

If Pippen and his 10ppg on 40% shooting got the GOAT past the first round, then Larry Hughes most certainly got LeNomad into the playoffs.

ReysonDrabek:

Again when did i ever claim pippen is why phil jackson made the playoffs? Stop applying your foolishness to me.
Lol this clown is being deliberately obtuse. What does Phil Jackson have to do with the argument? The Bulls had crossed the first round before he became coach.

You're in denial. 73% of players in the league think MJ is the GOAT. But skinny jeans wearing hermit LeNomad fanboys are frothing in the mouth all over cyberspace like a camel in heat

ReysonDrabek:

LOL! Now its trajectory, but didnt you say lebron stunts young players growth? So ingram and co dont have a trajectory? the man is turning into a statistician to defend his foolishness cheesy cheesy cheesy
Are you not ashamed that in how many seasons you can only point to one player who was already a surefire star (2 All-star appearances and an All star MVP) that was already doing 21-5 as proof that LeNomad grows players. Lmaooo smh at this desperate crazeman

ReysonDrabek:

But you said lebron is why he got fired, come and explain.

But you also claimed lukes firing was lebrons fault cheesy cheesy
Stop chatting like a simp! Whose arrival put Luke Walton's job under threat?

ReysonDrabek:

There a difference between winning in the regular season and winning a ring. Go ask D'antoni.
What does this have to do with Blatt? Would Lue have won without Love and Kyrie?

ReysonDrabek:

What kind of dumb logic is this? appreciate it or not its part of the game and you need to learn to live with it. Stop trying to claim its the reason the lakers were losing!
It's common sense. We've seen numerous athletes sign deals with no trade clauses. Just the other day we saw Harrison Barnes and Derrick Rose and their reactions to getting traded. It's a far from ideal scenario and can hurt a player's performance

No one said it's the reason why they were losing. But it surely didn't help their cause. Jeeeeez why are your comprehension skills so poor?
ReysonDrabek:


Thank God Phil was in fact the GOAT, plus he had jordan. So what are you talking about? its not all about pippen.
You're desperately confused

ReysonDrabek:

Yeah thats awful but punching your team mate is great leadership. I had a mediocre day but you're cheering me up, clown! cheesy
Boohoo. Players fight in practice all the time. Beats your teammate questioning your commitment to basketball in public.

I thought you were being deliberately obtuse but it's apparent to me now that you're actually obtuse obtuse

The Bulls had gotten to the Eastern Conference Finals before Phil Jackson was head coach you lying crazeman. Pat Riley took over a team that had won the title in 1980.

Don't come here and spin lies like these coaches came and started from the bottom.

I never claimed Blatt would be great or not but he showed more competence than his replacement considering the circumstances. Some people never get more than one chance. That's just how life works

Pat didnt just win in his first season he made the showtime lakers who they were.

LMAO The same players who voted iverson in the top 5, same players who voted kevin durant in the top five, same players who voted kobe more than kareem. Yeah they seem like real geniuses. cheesy

Of course of the players in the league today grew up watching MJ, ask the players in the next ten years. I think this rookie class was asked the same question. Go check the result.

Are you not ashamed that in how many seasons you can only point to one player who was already a surefire star (2 All-star appearances and an All star MVP) that was already doing 21-5 as proof that LeNomad grows players. Lmaooo smh at this desperate crazeman
Which other young player has he played with that you can base your argument on? There are two instances you can point to with lebron and young talents. BTW, ingrams scoring numbers have also gone up from last year so he IS progressing in his own way. Miss me with that dumb narrative.

His job was under threat long before lebron signed.

What does this have to do with Blatt? Would Lue have won without Love and Kyrie?
Any coach that won without a good team?

This is why I am against a single standing for the post season in the NBA as suggested by many critics. We would be denied of efforts like the Magic and Nets put up tonight.
Now while it’s only game one and both teams will make adjustments, the games will have increased competition, ratings and fan excitement across the league.

89/90 was his first full season. FFS what are you smoking nigga?? You initially claimed Phil Jackson led the Bulls last the first round, I've shown that as false yet you're typing more fallacies

Yes. But he had zero head coaching accolades before he took over. He was not a made man either and owes his success to the talents he had at his disposal as well

No one said Blatt started from the bottom but the fact is injuries to Kyrie and Love mean we would never really know what happens if they were healthy. In their second season he had won 30 games at the midway point of the season. He was sacked with a .73 record FFS

Who cares if Ty Lue went 3-0 down? Last I checked the series started 0-0.

I don't have time to nitpick irrelevant aspects of the list. The message is clear for anyone who cares to listen. I would take the opinions of the players who have probably faced both players over yours and other unrepentant Bronsexuals like Nick Wright

ReysonDrabek:

Of course of the players in the league today grew up watching MJ, ask the players in the next ten years. I think this rookie class was asked the same question. Go check the result.
The average age in the league is probably 25 if not less. There is a higher likelihood anyone drafted after 2006 has seen more LeNomad than MJ

Sorry I'm more interested in an expansive survey like this one. The gulf screams loudly.

If you can't bring out any young player doesn't this buttress my point?

This was my point ab initio so shut up

His job was under threat long before lebron signed.
And LeNomad's arrival was the coup de grace
