I'LL MAKE it easy for you. ask yourself these questions.

Do you think Stan Van Gundy is a good coach? I do
So why is Dwight still the same guy he's been his entire career? Sure a lot of that falls on dwight. but a lot of that falls on stan for not raising him right when he was younger.

Great coaches can instill that Clutch GENE in players that are not born with it.others coaches cant.
Some coaches get really nervous and they make you nervous in tight situations.

have you ever seen phil look nervous? NOPE
Pat riley? NOPE
Scott? NOPE

Mike D'antoni? YEP


Is kerr nervous? Nope
Luke walton? NOPE

There's a theme here

How's about Doc? YEP..but he won a title. yeah with 3 super hall of famers and one future one in rondo(pre injuries) + Thibs as his defensive coordinator. DOC aint that guy without thibs. you see these clippers. the only way they win it all is if multiple teams get really hurt. like really hurt. including gstate.

BYRON SCOTT IS A GOOD COACH FOR VETERAN TEAMS. I DUNO IF HES GOOD FOR REBUILDING, BUT I KNOW HE HAS EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME.
people keep saying this but they forget.

the nets team was half vets, half young and some where in between.
jkidd was a vet in his prime but not like an old vet.
kittles was older because he did some college but he wasnt OLD in nba standards.
kenyon martin was a young dude and he was one of their star players.

Bscott made kenyon a household name by taking him to two finals.

cp3 was leading that hornets team in those bscott years. cp3 was young back then and grew into the baller we now know. david west was young then too.

so yes, scott can help a group of kids grow up. see as great as phil was, he didnt like rookies/kids. because he knew they had a long way to go to learn the nuances of the game. he wanted to teach at a higher level to full grown adults in the nba that understood the basics. its like phil didnt want to teach physics 101. he was at the senior level/gradudate level physics 403 for science majors. any freshman around had to wait til they grew up to get phils attention.

scott has done this before.

the cavs got rid of him before he had a chance to grow up that young team. but he helped kyrie while he was there. dont look at his record when he's with super young teams that are not talented enough yet.. because he has proven, if you give him talented guys he will push them as far as they can go.

look at it like this. he pushed the nets to two finals appearances. not one. but two. thats not a fluke. he pushed them as far as they could go. of course they were never going to beat the ridiculous shaq and kobe lakers. no one would have back then.

of course cp3 kept getting sent home by better teams in the west. they never lost a series they had no business losing LIKE THE CLIPPERS HAVE UNDER DOC.

bump how was that rockets game
two much vet savvy for these young boys. thats how it was. lol.

it was a WELCOME To the nba type game. of course harden is going to torch russ. kobe cant help you. he's on a half a leg at this point. mwp is too old too. so you're on an island with mr beard. thats a 30 point game waiting to happen. lol
pray your shot hits. but pray trevor doesnt switch and guard you. again. way to much vet savvy for the kids in that rockets game.

but atleast you see russ being more aggressive.

i think randle is starting to hit that rookie wall. he plays so hard and he has been doing it since the summer league. at some point you will hit that rookie wall. and its about time to start slowly getting their for a player that plays hard like him but does a little bit of everything.

yeah i keep hearing that. but i dont see any spanking new coaches that are not from the old school winning. DO YOU?

Steve kerr/Luke. all under the toolage of old man PHIL with a hint of triangle. its the players folks. not the coaches as much you like to think.

its more of the GM and players then it is the coach. Who you pick, luck(draft guys that actually pan out and become stars), which Free agents join forces with you that pan out(this is less luck and more to do with scouting and paying attention to the type of player a star FA has been throughout his career with another team or teams.)

what has killed the lakers has nothing to do with their front office and everything to the with the league(small market teams/owners) crying about that cp3 deal. that nixed trade set the lakers back no less then 5 years. i dont feel like going into detail about that. because i have on here many times.

So now here we are with the lakers having a bunch of kids with a few decent vets added in and kobe calling it quits. thats not a roster for winning games. thats a development roster.

The time you will find out if your coach is good enough to help you win it all is when you have a superior roster to 90% of the rest of the nba. and you match up well vs the remaining 10%. and when yall go at it. if you lose to them because of mental mistakes, mental breakdowns, shaky execution or a lack of variety on offense or defense. then you know thats on the coach. we are no where near there as a roster. so there's NO way you can tell scott's coaching still will or wont work if he had that level of a roster. all we know about scott is when he has a talented enough group. his teams win games and give better teams then his a run for their money. thats all we know.

again, lets talk doc rivers. he has one ring. with a super squad of vets at that. but only ONE. and he won that one with THIBS as his defensive coordinator.

DOC has a super team with the clippers but he keeps getting bounced before they should . WHY IS THAT? they have the roster. And their main players are not super young anymore. So why are they not able to get over the hump? Thats the coach ladies and gentlemen.

if nothing else. the coach has to be man enough to tell the GM(i know doc is both, so its even worse on him..lol) hey i know we have talented players and player X is a very talented player. but he doesnt mesh well enough with the rest of our team. we need to move said player. so we can get over the hump. now if the GM fires you, then so be it. thats not on you at that point. you were man enough to tell the GM what you needed to get over the hump. just having super talent isnt enough. players have to mesh with one another. but its also a coaches job to make them mesh(phil got kobe - super scorer and shaq-super scorer black hole to play together and win 3 rings and get to the finals 4 times straight.)

the man has been balling ever since he admitted he said EFF IT and just stop thinking about what others thought about his play/game and stop thinking/wondering about how much time he would get, when he would play etc. what isnt in his hands he cant control, so control the things you can. thats what the man said out of his own mouth. which is why people have to attribute some of his new found fire/aggression to Byron. He chose to start him early even though technically he didnt EARN the spot. it was given to him. And Scott took that starting job away(but not the mins). So it reminded russ and Randle like mitch said. Mins are a valuable commodity in this league. kobe didnt start his rookie season . so yall were lucky to start any how if you want to be honest. so no reason to sulk about coming off the pine. Prove to me that you deserve the mins i gave you first. then prove to me you deserve to be a starter in this league. while proving that to the coach, you will prove it to your older teammates and yourself and the rest of the guys in the league. so they will stop taking you so lightly when they see you. their faces will stop lighting up when they see "Ooo ROOK alert. this will be light work tonight."

and last thing i thought about today was, you never know as good as you may be what if some guy(s) comes along on the lakers and are better than you and snatch your starting spot. But the lakers still value your talent/skill? are you going to cry about coming off the bench being that ginobili guy? the Lamar odom guy with 2 rings? lets find out right now where your head is? are you just stuck on this idea of starting because you worry more about what others think OR are you ready to ball out regardless?
