Worst NBA coach out of the playoff teams?

[hoopster42]

The question was about Playoffs though.

the question was: "who's the worst coach IN the playoffs?". Mac nicely said why mike brown should be given credit THIS yr and is NOT the worst coach. i agree. i am a detractor of Brown but he has definitely grown as a coach this reg season and that transfers to the playoffs, i think. let's not forget that he's already been to the finals (in 2007) and that overall team was nowhere near as good as this yr's roster

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

Would you want to coach those criminals?

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.

You guys just made my day

Well, I expect Cleveland to win the East so I'd really have a hard time saying Mike Brown is a bad or "worst" coach. It's a tough call because who get's the most out of limited talent? I still don't consider Cleveland the most talented team in the East so I'd have to give MB a plus.

I think the Heat may be the least talented overall team so Eric Spoelstra may be doing the most work. But it really depends on if they can win a series. We'll have to wait until a bunch of series are over with to really determine this.

i actually disagree. i would rather have dwade, beasley, o'neal, haslem, q richardson, chalmers, and alston (before the injury) over the crap that skiles has had to work w/esp since redd got hurt in december

[Mac4Lyfe]

Yeah, i take that back Hoopster. Skiles has had a raw deal. I really excluded him because of the injuries. May have to exclude Utah very shortly...

lol redd is a cancer.

skiles crap teams have pounded those heat clowns all year long. mil has some very good players just cause they arent black doesnt mean they cant play. alston didnt get injured he took off on the team due to personal issues.

[hoopster42]

if forced to take a WORST coach, i have to say it's the miami heat eric spoelstra kid. i raised both eyebrows when they hired him and nothing has changed in my mind. yeah, they had the great run the last 22 gms of 18-4 and thank GOD for him they did or they'd be screwed. i cannot say dantley is the worst because he may actually be good, we just don't know. he hasnt had the role as head coach of a team long enough to really judge. there's a reason that denver handed him the keys when karl could not come back. and del negro does not have the roster he had even last yr. i take del negro over spoelstra if i have to choose a coach to lead my team. there it is, i answered the question again: ERIC SPEOLSTRA is the worst coach in the playoffs. kid is way way way over his head in miami

Easy, Vinny.

Eric Spoelstra is pretty bad too. He's like 30, acts like a total novice despite this being his 2nd year, and always looks like a

[HoulihansTX]

The BEST Coach in the Playoffs to me is Larry Brown.. Takes every team to the playoffs, and gets the most out of what he has on his roster.

The secret in this playoffs is that he has a chance to out-coach everyone he sees in his bracket. Stan V. Mike Wood, and Mike B. He will/would out-coach all of these guys.

exactly

[TobiasFunke]

LOL I'll second the Spoelstra deer in headlights reference, that is spot on!

I don't understand why one poster chose Woodson, I think he is a great coach...

And yes, Mike Brown does not do shit...that's my pick.

Lakers - Phil Jackson is in top 5, overrated

dude has 10 rings! jordan and kobe never won w/out him, and shaq only won once w/out him! phil's greatness is understated 'cause he's had superstars but the guy is a master at his craft

[Chi_archie]

Vinny Del negro

[lunchbawks]

spoelstra coached this horrid heat team into the playoffs. the raptors are twice as good on paper, with a crap coach.

[watchdog]

orlando fat fuk stan van gundy this guy blow 25 point lead in a qts many time

[HoulihansTX]

How is Erik Spoelstra a bad coach??

Outside of Wade he has one of the least talented rosters in the playoffs.

The heat are strong on defense, and efficient on offense.
________________________________________ ________

Also why is Mike Brown a bad coach?

He has dont nothing but win in the playoffs, and recently dominate in the regular season.


I would love for you guys to give some examples as to why these guys are bad. Instead of just simply stating it as if its an empirical truth, that is globally excepted.

I must have really got to you before for you to attack me/my opinion in every single post I make

Oh, and Mike Woodson??? The guy that took the worst team in the NBA to the playoffs three years in a row, once taking the would-be champs to 7 games, the other a playoff win over that very Spolestra, and the 3rd time probably another playoff win? Great call.

[HoulihansTX]

Agreed

How are you the worst team in the NBA, but go to the Playoffs???

Last year, when ATL beat the Heat, D. Wade was INJ during the whole series with back spasms. Plus the heat lack overall talent. ATL is just a more talented team overall. nobody wins without talent.

I just know you dont know what you are talking about, a majority of the time. So i prod you to keep posting, so you can prove me right. As evidenced by your above post.

[dwaechte]

Absolutely has to be Vinny. No control over the locker room, team playing like shit, and he tried to punch out his GM. How is this even a discussion?

Once again, you demonstrate pathetically deficient reading comprehension.

He took the worst NBA team to the playoffs in 3 years time, i.e. his teams progressed, so by the time they went to the playoffs, they obviously weren't the worst anymore. I really have to explain that to you?

And what are you: a liar or demented? "Wade INJ the whole series." That's why he played every game and had the game high in every game except one scoring 19, 33, 29, 22, 29, 41, and 31.

"Don't know what you're talking about" says the guy who makes threads titled "Lakers better without Kobe" (really now) and "Nationals not a bad team" (only after they upset the Phillies as 200 dogs, genius).

Everytime you cross me, you end up embarrassing yourself, so keep this charade up.

[hoopster42]

SPOELSTRA'S team is not that bad, wade, o'neal, beasley, q richardson, many teams/coaches would take those 4 to start off w/then add little pieces here and there.......miami got to the playoffs for the same reason teams 4-8 in the east get there every yr, THE EASTERN CONF SUCKS

[KiDBaZkiT]

Phil Jackson, guy cant even get his players to take decent shots. I cant believe how many times they just take a jumper, contested without even looking to pass. Go light some more incense hippie.

[jjgold]

Karl by far

Skiles is coach of the year

[HoulihansTX]

Atlanta - Mike Woodson The guy has no idea what he is doing.

Thanks Mike. You proved to be the biggest idiot in a room full of them. And you took money out of my pocket in the act.

[stealthyburrito]

del negro, spoelstra, and brown.

Bobcats never had a chance

[blowseq]

The Worst: Carlisle
The Best: Skiles

[kobefanatic]

fuk you mike woodson, bucks is w/o their starting center yet you still can't sweep their asses

[jjgold]

Woodson I guess now

He is fired if they lose the series

He has no control of players

[SparJMU]

Easily Miami's head coach. Not even close.
