Carlisle is a TOP 5 coach easily in the league. He's the BEST on calling timeouts.

Not to be a goat milk here but there's no way chicago beats miami in a 7 game series.Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Time to hire some Mexican, and Asian coachesComment -
He calls timeouts more often than any other coach i swear. Doesn't matter if mavs are up 25, if the other team cuts it down to 21 he calls a timeout. It's pretty annoying to be honest.Originally posted by PauulzcappinComment -
current coaches i like pop, karl, thibodeaux, adlemanComment -
Probably not. We'll see.Originally posted by t-wizzle
It will take having three of the best players in basketball to overcome Spoelstra. I still think his inexperience and LeBron's penchant for choking will cost the Heat again this year when games get tight at the end.Comment -
I think McMillian is a pretty good coach as well.Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
but who cares..**** basketball bring on americas pastime!!Comment -
I'm not a spoelstra fan, if they win it will be in spite of him. Guy uses every cliche in the book and i just don't see how his message gets across to these guys. I would not take him seriously if i were an nba player.Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
lebrons afraid to choke so he passes the ball..he did it in a freaking allstar game and again tonight..he passed to udonis haslem for ***** sake with the game on the line..do u honestly think spoelstra drew that up?Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
So you have a coach like that and a star who is a choker -- nice combo come playoff time.Originally posted by t-wizzleComment -
How the hell is mcmillan a good coach? Portland has been a major disappointment this season and most people who know a thing or two about basketball will tell you that he restricts his team and doesn't let them get out and run.Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Doesn't matter if he did or if he didn't -- it's a toxic combination.Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
Hard to fully judge him based on Portland's horrific injury history.Originally posted by t-wizzleComment -
Regardless, they still have a very good team and are .500.Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
to me its more lethal to have that talent and be so deathly afraid to fail..jordan, kobe, durant and carmelo arent afraid to fail like this guy..its incredible to watch and something i don't think u can change..he just doesnt have that geneOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Not only can you not change it -- it's getting worse. It's in his head and taken over his mind now. He'll never be a "closer." Ever. Which makes it damn hard for this team to win a title.Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
Amazing how the one game he closed, i had bulls -3 and he basically single-handedly brings miami back from a double-digit deficit in the last few minutes.Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
D.Casey seems like a good coach. Raptors are bad, that's mainly cuz of the talent level available. Their defense has improved and this is casey's 1st year with the team.Comment -
spoelstra has done a great job in miamiComment -
True. They'd be borderline dangerous if Bargnani could ever get healthy.Originally posted by killersweetComment -
Might be annoying but it's the right call. That's why he's the best at it.Originally posted by t-wizzleComment -
How, pray tell, do you figure?Originally posted by lunchbawks
The irony is I don't think Spoelstra's a bad coach at all. Like a lot of the black coaches I listed, though, he has no business being in this position at this point in his career. He's in over his head when it comes to trying to actually win a championship.Comment -
they have a closer in dwade..if hes gonna pass the ball at least find him not udonis haslemOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment -
He's planning and playing out situations, even if they aren't there score-wise.Originally posted by t-wizzleComment -
But that's the point: LeBron thinks he should be "the guy" -- and I don't blame him for that. He's the most physically gifted freak the NBA's ever seen, outside of maybe Shaq and Wilt. He's a follower trapped in a closer's body.Originally posted by MidgetTossersComment -
I think they are tanking. Even if bargs is healthy, he is gonna play few games this year.Originally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Since we are on this topic, what are you guys top 5 coaches in the league?Comment -
Spoelstra will likely get fired if the Heat don't win a title this year, and he'll likely be a pretty good coach somewhere else down the road. For now, though, he lacks the chops to win it all. Shame on Riley and Miami for assuming otherwise.Comment -
Mine would be:Originally posted by Pauulzcappin
1. Popovich
2. Thibodeaux
3. Carlisle
4. Karl
5. McMillianComment -
How many bad white coaches?Comment -
I don't understand your nate mcmillan love at all.Originally posted by No coincidences
Doc Rivers is a top 3 coach easily.Comment -
Dwayne Casey is the best coach in Torotno for years, raptors games are way slower now and lower scoring so the raptors usually have a chance to win most gamesOriginally posted by No coincidencesComment -
Like I said, there are just a lot of bad coaches in the league right now period.Originally posted by BernardMadoff
The black coaches I mentioned -- with the exception of Hollins -- are at a disadvantage in that they were rushed into their current positions. Not sure how you could say guys like Smart and Marc Jackson are qualified to be NBA head coaches.Comment -
I suppose I have to give Doc credit because of the titles he's won, but I personally have never been that impressed with him (kind of like Stan Van -- I just don't get the love for that guy).Originally posted by t-wizzleComment
