WTF are Times Changing that Much.

Some are smart and qualified. Good for them. Probably wouldn't hurt to have a hot coach on the staff. Would make some of the guys try harder

How long until animals also have equal rights?

I think Bears are misrepresented, especially by Chicago. Either change the name to stop embarrassing the bear or hire a bear

all good if she was the most qualified
not good if there is a male more qualified

I'm gonna try out for the Wnba

What about the female LB coach that The Arizona Cardinals just hired? Basketball is one thing but female pro FB coaches is another thing entirely.

swordsandtequila · 07-31-15, 01:48 PM

Yeah, 'cause you never know when one of the retreads finally gets it right. Where else but sports can you fail miserably and keep getting jobs.

monkey see monkey do. It's the way the NBA works, with top decision makers only slightly more intelligent than pond life. Spurs did it so now everyone is considering it. Warriors win the championship with smallball so now every nba pundit is convinced this is the way the league is going. Alvin Gentry was on the Warriors' staff so he must be a great coach. Or could it be he was just a good coach before, and still a good coach after the championship?

Read something, guessing by your posts adding a "for once" would be appropriate...

so you think that in the history of mens sports there has NEVER been a women more qualified for any position that a man has received?

Lets start you out light on that reading thing...

Smallball is the norm, not the latest trend

http://www.thescore.com/news/801143

The Golden State Warriors are just the tip of the iceberg.The Warriors used sublime shooting and a suffocating defense to capture the Larry O'Brien trophy. Granted, they had a historically prolific shooter in Stephen Curry leading the charge, but that hasn't stopped a slew of imitators.Wings like Rudy Gay, Paul George, DeMarre Carroll, and Kobe Bryant will all log some minutes at power forward next season as teams prepare to play smaller.In truth, playing small - either by putting a wing at the four, or by stretching a big out to the 3-point line - is not new, nor is it some gimmicky strategy. Most teams are already playing smallball, or are gravitating towards it.Smallball practitionersTeams that ranked in the top-20 in 3-point attempts and regularly played a stretch frontcourt player. Team Player Position 3PA 76ers Robert Covington SF/PF 6.4 Cavaliers Kevin Love PF/C 5.2 Warriors Draymond Green PF/C 4.2 Heat Chris Bosh PF/C 3.8 Bulls Nikola Mirotic PF 3.8 Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki PF/C 3.6 Raptors Patrick Patterson SF/PF 3.5 Pistons Ersan Ilyasova PF 3.3 Thunder Serge Ibaka PF/C 3.2 Hawks Paul Millsap PF/C 3.0 There's no denying any of the names on the list, as six of the aforementioned teams ranked in the top-10 in 3-point attempts.Of note, the Detroit Pistons acquired Ersan Ilyasova to replace non-shooter Greg Monroe, a move that closely aligns with head coach Stan Van Gundy's long-held preference for shooting at the four.The Oklahoma City Thunder, meanwhile, have Kevin Durant on the mend. He can also play stretch-four, although the Thunder's crowded frontcourt might preclude that.Smallball enthusiastsTeams ranked in the top-15 in 3-point attempts, but lacked a frontcourt player who averaged more than three attempts per game. Team Player Position 3PA Rockets Donatas Motiejunas PF/C 1.9 Spurs Boris Diaw PF/C 2.1 Suns Markieff Morris PF 2.2 Celtics Kelly Olynyk PF/C 2.7 Clippers Josh Smith PF/C 2.7 These teams clearly wanted to play smallball in earnest, but lacked the proper personnel.That's especially the case for the Houston Rockets, who ranked first in 3-point attempts, despite not employing a true stretch-four. They found ways around that by sneaking time for James Harden at the four, while encouraging players like Motiejunas and Smith to step out to the perimeter.The Los Angeles Clippers are much like the Rockets: they want a shooter in the frontcourt, but lacked the personnel. Last summer's prized addition Spencer Hawes didn't work out, so they acquired Smith and Paul Pierce.The San Antonio Spurs added a premium shooter in LaMarcus Aldridge this summer. Aldridge is a master of the midrange, but he posted a career high in 3-pointers attempted last season, a trend that will likely continue.Smallball adoptersMost of the league has already embraced smallball. These teams are desperately trying to catch up. Team Player Frontcourt time (*) Pelicans Ryan Anderson 100% Bucks Jabari Parker 8% Kings Rudy Gay 4% Hornets Frank Kaminsky Incoming rookie Pacers Paul George 0% *Basketball-Reference's play-by-play estimate for percentage of minutes at center or power forwardThe Milwaukee Bucks prefer to play lineups with three wings on the court at once. That plan was sidetracked with Parker's injury, but Jared Dudley filled in admirably. With Dudley gone and Parker returning, look for Jason Kidd to continue trotting out three-wing lineups.As for the Sacramento Kings, head coach George Karl is on the record regarding his intentions to play Gay at power forward. The same applies to the Indiana Pacers and George, despite the challenges of changing positions.Finally, the Charlotte Hornets emphasized the addition of shooting this summer. They acquired Hawes and turned down six picks to draft Frank Kaminsky, who served as a stretch-five in college.Smallball deniersTeams that don't have a capable smallball player, or don't want one. Team 3PA Rank Timberwolves 30 Grizzlies 29 Wizards 27 Lakers 25 Magic 22 Knicks 21 Nets 20 Jazz 17 Nuggets 12 Trail Blazers 3 It's unfair to put the Portland Trail Blazers on this list because they clearly value spacing and shooting, but they lost so much talent in free agency. As it stands, they have no stretch option unless Noah Vonleh develops, or if Meyers Leonard maintains his hot shooting from last season.The same logic could be applied to the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets - they might want to play small, but they don't have the requisite pieces.The Washington Wizards are a strange case. They stubbornly eschewed shooting and spacing in the regular season, attempting just 16.8 3-pointers per game, but launched 23.3 threes in the playoffs, while shifting two wings in Pierce and Otto Porter to the four. Perhaps during the playoffs, Randy Wittman was just playing it coy.The remaining teams are set in their ways. The Memphis Grizzlies make it work because they have a dominant defense and a monstrous frontcourt, but there's no excuse for the rest.

Ooh you told me! Going to kill two birds with one stone here... If you're going to tell someone they should read more you should do so with a grammatically correct sentence. That is irony. Try and steer away from such big concepts. TY.

We don't need women in the NBA, I'm assuming this is to take care of Lebron? Kidding

Jayvegas420 · 08-01-15, 12:07 PM

Since no one wants to post a link ...I'll explain why the post was ironic.
Blackhippy lost a job as a female. After that she had a Chaz Bono done & was hired back.
Then fired again as a tranny.
I know it sounds confusing, but now you're in the loop & can laugh away with us!

IBetYou · 08-01-15, 01:48 PM

no that's not ironic either, it's moronic. You American's should treat irony like an electric fence. Did you learn it from alanis morissette?

Listen you foreign scum, everyone the world over knows that a traffic jam when you're already late is the textbook definition of irony.
