[I'm Chillin]

Davis is gonna be TOUGH in that system

 

[Auger]

thibs lost

[jaguar paw]

Why is this being announced before the Finals?

 

[Roadie pipeher]

Great hire..., AD about to hit the stratosphere...

 

[IGSaint12]

He should have waited a year until Byron scott was fired.

I hoped Gentry would stay here in the bay

Where has he proven himself in the many opportunities he has already had.

He helped coach Warriors and they are at the finals. Made the best of what was given too him with the Suns squad. He is a big time upgrade over Monty Williams

 

[labelplant]

He still coaching the finals?

Thats what I'm thinking, don't need any distractions right now

 

[Pesci]

He still coaching the finals?

yes

 

[LurkMoar]

Derrick Fisher? Jason Kidd?

Jason kidd a top 5 coach right now breh

 

[KOBE]

he should help mold their offense, they'll be fine on defense either way with davis/asik, but he should be able to give them a proper offensive system to thrive under that actually focuses more on davis(hopefully).

So what happens when they fire him during the middle of his third season like his track record has proven. Hire George Karl? This cat ain't going to a loaded team like Doc when he got handed Kevin Garnett or Kerr with the Warriors. You will see an Alvin Gentry fired thread in three years is all I'm trying to say.

Is on the staff for a 67-win team, then picks up Anthony Davis.

Black Excellence

I think he's better off as as assistant. He's almost too much of a player's coach.
