So it went over your head. Got it.

Nope....refuted your thoughts as I often do and you are left with deflection like your comment above.

You're smarter than everybody on tHoop......aren't we so fortunate to be around somebody so smart?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Jackson was rebuilding the Warriors and laid the groundwork for Kerr.....his first year brings down his winning %.

Lue came into a team that had James and some good pieces around him, playing in the EC.

2 people so far got it.

If you were being sarcastic in your comments I missed it. But, no, never said as much. Only offered my opinion supported by logic, facts and reason

 

[Black Adam]

Easily Lue if not just for the fact that he actually cares about the team while Jackson is one of the most selfish egotistical pricks in the business.

like Lue was actually running things...

He was the only one who would get in Lebron's face.

Everybody knows this. Even Wggy and LTCF know this.....and they are die-hard Cavs fans.

An agenda by saying Lue is nothing special, but providing facts why he might be better than Jackson? You can't refute them. Like most days you go to deflection. No biggie.

This is an opinion. I'm sure Lebron has plenty of say but all this proves is you are like most if you don't like a coach. When things go well you credit the players, when they go poorly you blame the coach.

Lebron is also in control in LA. How's that working out for ya?

Lue might be the only coach Lebron had who wasn't afraid of him.....at least since Silas.

 

[Black Adam]

maybe so, but I'd hardly call that "coaching"...

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I'd choose nearly every coach in the league over Lue.

Lue did what exactly? Not much. James, Irving, and Love as the #3 option is a pretty good trio. Almost anybody could coach them to a title.....

Jackson was taking ver the Warriors when they absolutely sucked......2 very different situatons.....

Same

Said pretty much everyone last July except for a few homers.

Still, a fully healthy Lebron and the team probably slides in someone around the 7th seed the last week of season. If you want to spin this as positive, maybe missing the playoffs will make Magic/Pelinka realize how bad and wrongheaded their thinking was (we're gonna "out tough" the Warriors!! Who needs shooting and good two way play?) Now they can make the proper adjustments. If they snuck in, that would never happen.

To be fair to Magic and Pelinka, there wasn't a lot left, especially dependable shooters. They really didn't have a lot to choose from. Much of the talk was just trying to put lipstick on a pig. lol

I think the trades for Bullock and Muscala show that they realize that roster was flawed from the start and are trying to correct it.

I think we all knew that this roster, especially the 1 year guys, was just a bridge to next season and that if they lost anyone, especially Lebron, for any length of time, this is what we were in for.

Even fully healthy, they were likely never as good as the 4 seed they were sitting at when Lebron and Rondo went down and they aren't as bad as their current 10th seed either.

Uh, James isn't in control in LA.....and it's his first season.....with no 2nd star.

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers would be better off by not hiring either

same here...

reminds of back a couple of decades ago when Barry Switzer was "coaching" the Cowboys. You or I could have coached that team and came away with titles because they were simply too talented to lose...

 

[DJ Fieri]

I wish Fizdale hadn't got the Knicks job.....he's who I really wanted when the Grizzlies let him go.
