1) too soon to judge blatt, dude has yet to go a full season.


2) messina's pedigree is more advanced than blatt. messina is the european hoops godfather. he's back in the NBA because he's conqured the euroleague, nothing left to prove.


3) messina is going to be an asistant coach for a good while, spurs havent given him the keys to anything. yet. he's gonna learn from pop (and vice versa, says pop). if he ever takes over, he's gonna be pretty accustomed to the modern league by then.

I never questioned Messina. Matter of fact i hope he succeeds.

but his fellow euroleague breh Blatt has been nothing but atrocious thus far and has set a bad precedent for european based head coaches

SAN ANTONIO SPURS NY DIVISION
assistant coach Mike Brown won 60+ games with Ilgauskas and Mo Williams

what's Blatt's excuse?

Those Cleveland teams had a way better roster..

This Cleveland team is the one Lebron basically assembled directly or indirectly...

James Jones has a roster spot?
Mike Miller does what he does and neither plays....

Lou Admusonson:mjlol:
Joe Harris:dwillhuh:
Will Cherry:dwillhuh:

Shawn Marion being a starter at this point:dwillhuh:

He really has nothing to work with besides the obvious 3 talents+varejo or however you spell that nikka name....And if he wanted to implement something, Lebron gotta make sure his ego allows it..Its not he listens to him anyway:yeshrug:

:beli:

It's been 14 games.

They're team is ranked 6th in offense.

The team doesn't have talent on defense.

Bron's play hasn't been consistent.

It's been 14 games.

Thibs first 14 games he was 8-6 and didn't have to deal with a lack of defensive talent or Rose playing like an a$$hole and calling out teammates every game.
