2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

[TJL]

The fact that Lavar is so bad at basketball, should make it that much more obvious that he's just trolling, but these jackasses in the media will still eat it up.

Kevin Durant progressing well, will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days, per Warriors PR report.

Kings have had a fun 2 game winning streak, but now they need to get back on the tank.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Lavar Ball sayz if Lonzo isn't the # 1 pick he will sue the NBA.

I'd say the bet is on then.

Look who is #4.

Is Pop on top? Ranking the league's coaches, from 1 to 30

And look who's ahead of Spo even though he hasn't gotten to the Finals yet.


CELTICS IN SEVEN!!!

I'm just happy that Patty Riles didn't let LeBum come in and run the team like he does in Cleveland. Spo didn't get the respect he deserves until after LeRest took his talents to Shitland, and you know that LeBald didn't want Spo as coach in Miami, so I'm pretty stoked that we have a man running our org that has balls, big brass balls, like Pat Riles does.

I'd honestly move Kerr out of the top 5.

My top 5 would be:

1) Pop
2) Stevens
3) Carlisle
4) Spo
5) D'Antoni

The reasoning behind dropping Kerr out is I don't think he's a great in-game tactician. Having the team prepared and also developing their offense is huge, but I question his end of game play and also his inability to deviate from a game plan to try something different.

D'Antoni is a revolutionary of the game. Look at the Rockets last year versus this year with an entirely similar core. Their efficiency has spiked on offense. While he may not be a great defensive coach, he's solely responsible for the uptick in quick pace play and 3 point shooting, LEAGUE WIDE.

Both Kerr and Pop have both taken D'Antoni's ideas and incorporated them into the way the teams play. Also take a look at those Suns teams he took to the conference finals. The lack of talent and what he got out of them is nothing short of amazing.

This is his first solid year since 2007

As long as it's not this, it's good news.

You gotta put a spoiler with a warning on that.

 

[CitySushi]

This is his first solid year since 2007

It's also the first year he's had another unselfish star player.

D'Antoni is a system coach. He coaches up players to play above their level, but he needs the right personnel to do it. Do you think Melo or Kobe fit that system?

He took the cash out from NY, which obviously wasn't a smart move from a winning perspective. He was stuck with horrible rosters his entire time there then was fired. He took on the Lakers again for another cash out, but his clashing with Kobe and Kobe's inability to participate in that system was his down fall.

He got Harden to buy in, got the Rockets to buy in and they're miles ahead of where they were last year.
