[hoopster42]

Vinny Del Negro; Doc Rivers , Mike Brown , in that order ...

[lakerboy]

Mike Brown without question - he doesnt even coach that team he is just there for no reason Lebron is the coach

[FrozenMAN]

easily vinny....took him almost a year to FINALLY take his hands out of his pockets during a game...no emotion whatsoever, he's terrible

mike brown is AWFUL too, he just gets ignored cause the cavs are good, but deep down he's awful coach

[lunchbawks]

doc rivers, that fool

Atlanta - Mike Woodson

Watch the Hawks on offense coming out of timeouts. No imagination, its usually an isolation for Joe Johnson.

The guy has no idea what he is doing. I still remember him gift wrapping a Mavs victory, by being on the court in the middle of play. So Jason Kidd ran into on purpose, and drew a tech on the Hawks. It was the straw that broke the camels back.

he's a pretty good coach. they have gotten better each yr under him. 2 yrs ago they extend eventual champ boston to 7 gms, last yr they make the next round, this yr they're on a collision course w/orlando, mike woodson is not one of the best coaches in the playoffs but no way he's the worst, no way. they dont even have a true center on that team but they are really good

Dantley because he doesn't even WANT the job. Nuggets are practically coaching themselves.

Didnt J R Smith kill his friend in a car wreck?? His friend was a passenger, while JR was driving.

Carmelo was in a video, where topic of discussion was "Stop Snitching".

Kenyon Martin is Kenyon Martin.

Chris Andersen is a rehabilitated Drug addict.

Nice rap sheet Thuggets.

Look at Dantley on the bench without the warden there. He looks scared shitless. Dantley was a good player who played in the gentlemen era.

[INVEGA MAN]

coach with the least talent players.

[DrStale]

skiles is a top 3 coach, the bucks have zero talent.

Lets wait and see how they fare in this series without Bogut first, not a good start.

[davidnc76]

Nate McMillian played under Jimmy Valvano @ NCSU, for that reason I would say he is the worst of that group.

Did you know Valvano only graduated 2 players during his 10 years at Nc State? LOL
And they call that guy a hero... It amazes me that folks look up to this man's coaching career.

[Jasonal_98]

I'd have to go with Mike Brown. Stan Van Gundy coached circles around him in the Eastern Finals last year, and Van Gundy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[lunchbawks]

mike brown is not an option !!
he coached the cavs to the best record in the nba. what do you guys expect from him? a perfect season? GODDAMN

I think Nate is a great coach I don't know how his Seattle or Portland teams won as many games as they did

Kurt Rambis wolves seem to get worst as season progressed

[elchampion33]

I agree... He led this team to the best record in the NBA with injuries at every position including Lebron, had different roster's almost every night to contend with.

He's not the greatest in game coach, I'll give you that but this guy does his work during practice. He's gotten guy's like AJamison, Mo Williams, Moon, etc, to play defense. I actually think he deserves COY consideration because of so many lineup changes throughout the year. He's done a great job this year and I'm one of his biggest critics.

even if they lose 4-0 to atlanta, skiles is a very good coach for even getting them here. he lost michael redd early in the season who was his #1 guy and he still managed to get them the 6th best record in the east. now losing bogut a wk ago, it's amazing that they even managed to come back from the huge deficit and keep this gm close. amazing. he's using 2 starters in there that normally would not be there had redd and bogut not gotten hurt.

well said. i'm not a fan of the guy either. it's nice to read your post where someone can give credit to someone he is not a fan of. wish more sports fans were like that

Plus the Bucks were playing one of the best basketball after the All Star break. Awesome job there...

The question was about Playoffs though.
