Gentry is okay. No upgrade over williams

texhooper · 05-30-15, 08:41 PM

is he going to be on the bench for the warriors during the finals? he's their big offensive strategist.

he talks like a transsexual so no one takes him seriously. guy knows x's and o's though.

very poor timing for the Warriors.. this is a flow disruptor
affects team unity.. team vibe
if i was GSW, i would have forbidden Pelicans from speaking with him,
until playoffs were over.

seaborneq · 05-30-15, 09:01 PM

Should have just kept Monte Williams.

he'll still coach through the finals though, i just read. i don't think it will matter much, they're pros looking for a title, and i'm sure he wants that title on his resume too. as long as he's there i think everything will be business as usual.

50-32 next year

1st round knockout

Hmmm. So Pelicans have named a coach and Magic have named a coach. Where does that leave Thibodeau?

Looks like the bulls already knew. Thibs gets paid nice to take vacations.

jjgold · 05-30-15, 10:29 PM

Tibbs will be in NY or La eventually

still a buzz-kill.. mission NOT accomplished yet... and a big piece of the Offense is making plans to leave.
That's a team they were playing three weeks ago..

like being at dinner with a group, and someone at your table is on the phone making plans to leave early..
speaking on the phone.. "great!.. can't wait.. see you soon!"

i would be like.. "can't you wait until AFTER dinner?!"

we're doing something here that doesn't happen every year..
sometimes it only happens once in a career

(which by the way is what makes LeBron so special)
with LeBron it DOES happen every year

Probably was intentional. There was a lot of hate between Thibs and management.

Good analysis and a great comparison with the dinner guest. Something doesn't feel right about it. The Pelicans can't be in that big of a hurry to hire an average coach. I could see if the were Going to get Steve Kerr.............But Alvin Freaking Gentry??????????

tony_come · 05-31-15, 01:37 AM

Is he black or white?

tony_come · 05-31-15, 01:37 AM

Is he asian or Arab?

tony_come · 05-31-15, 01:39 AM

Nonwhite will not win

tony_come · 05-31-15, 01:41 AM

Erik Spoelstra is a puppet

Pat Riley is the coach

They won

Ralphie Halves · 05-31-15, 02:20 AM

Guys, Monty Williams was terrible. Gentry the best black candidate on the board.

TheMoneyShot · 05-31-15, 05:00 AM

New Orleans Fired Williams???

Dude, cut the fuckin jokes! What Lebron is doing is so fuckin special?! Was it special when Iverson went to the Finals in 01? or when the peasants called the Nets and Pacers went to the Finals? Going to the Finals out the East don't mean shit. Was it special when he was up 2 games to 1 and got his ass kicked by Dirk on his home fukkin court? Seroiusly, stopped being brainwashed by TNT and ESPN who have an obvious bias because they are in business with this dude.

That being said, they gonna win it this year because GS aint ready.

rm18 · 05-31-15, 05:24 AM

Williams sucked they had the personnel to be great on defense and gave up layups and open 3s to everyone. Also team played too slow of a pace

jjgold · 05-31-15, 08:41 AM

It is an upgrade

With Davis any team wins 50 games with decent coach

did Iverson go to 5 straight Finals? (no, he went to a single one)

did he win that Finals?

did he win 4 League MVP Trophies?

did he make all of his teammates better?

is he a Top 5 Scorer? did he finish Top 5 in ANY category?

did any big name players ditch their teams to go play with Iverson?

what about Reggie Miller?

get serious.

LeBron is already legendary, and he is just 30 years old.

jjgold · 05-31-15, 10:29 AM

James is top 2 all around players ever

Can you imagine James playing with the guys Magic or Bird did??

I think their success was inflated by hall of famers around them

if you switch Kareem Abdul-Jabaar with Varejao... what does Magic accomplish..? how many Rings?

KAREEM:

1st NBA All-Time POINTS

3rd NBA All-Time REBOUNDS

3rd NBA All-Time BLOCKED SHOTS

6-TIME NBA LEAGUE MVP (most ever)

are you kidding?

with Kareem as Center.. LeBron would have 6-8 Rings already..!!
especially back then

I'd suspect he would have done all that and probably more had he been 6'8 270 instead of 6'0 160, let that soak in. Reverse Bron's talent with Iverson's height. I'm not sure he would have lasted 5 years in league let alone amass
26,000 pts.
