Why would they go to hall of fame? Because jeff and stan went to finals once in their careers?

Jeff was clashing with houston players, demanding more control over the team.... Players hated him. Hasn't coached a team for over a decade.

Heat had to fire stan to win a championship. His orlando days were two, three at best good years, and that pitty finals appearance because KG was out for boston, and cavs played horrible.

I imagine a hall of fame coach having more on his resume. But I guess anyone gets in there these days.


Doesn't matter about popularity contests, they are both great coaches

Jeff sent an 8th seeded Knicks with an injured Ewing to the Finals. Stan took a team of misfits Orland Magic to the Finals. Both had amazing defensive systems and brought the most out of players. Dwight Howard has his best years under Stan, and hasn't had any great seasons after he left
Remember Stan was the reason the Heat was good in the first place. Pat Riley came at the end and stole the glory

He’s a good coach if that’s what he’s focused on and not roster building.

qHe’ll do a lot for Lonzo’s development

Eh.

don’t know if this is a good or bad thing but I was hoping if the Pels were gonna dig in the NBA coaches parts bin they would’ve gone after Doc the second he got fired and offered him the works. Nope Stan can put a staff together like the Lakers have with Jason Kidd where you have dudes who the players legit fukk with.

Seems like Zo and Zion gotta be 100% healthy all the time for this shyt to work and I hope NO isn’t done making moves either. They got assets and pics to play with this offseason.
Doc would be running line ups of Ball /Favors/Hayes in crunch time:mjlol:

JJ got SVG the job :sas1:

lol I deadass JUST watched this clip from All the Smoke with JJ and Matt Barnes all but saying "the master of panic" himself showed up and basically cost them the 2010 ECF by getting nervous and changing their offensive approach before the series even started lol
