Very cerebral coach. He doesn't have the brilliance of a Pop to put together a system like that, but he's a great analytical mind, but I really question how much his players respect and fear him. I don't think he commands respect from other people i the league.

He actually makes adjustments and changes shyt up though from time to time so I give him credit for that.

The brilliance of Pop's system is Duncan always will be and always is
I want Spo to win just so the Heat don't come thirsting after Calipari.

Spo won't be on a hot seat if they lose. And nobody wants Calipari coaching them if it aint college.

Oh really, so he wasn't just offered 80mil to become the headcoach and president of the cavaliers organization? :dwillhuh: You think he didn't call Lebron and see where his head was at about returning to cleveland? :patrice:

The Cavs :mjlol:

Let me clarify what is not need to be clarified.

No smart organization with good management wants Cal to be their coach

Spo is an above average coach...the only criticism I really have of him is that it is real easy to spook him out of something...He will go to a strategy...pop will counter...Spo will go away from it and won't go back to it...

Dude never sticks with anything long enough to see if it works or not...

Miami's offense is also very :scusthov:...4 years in and they are still a watch lebron and watch wade offense

Who has had a better offense than the Heat these past 3 years?



stop trolling threads about coaching, its tiring at this point

I'm not trolling. Pop is great because Duncan is great.

.


This isn't a serious question right?

First of all what is a "better offense?" Miami is not toward the top of the list in free throw attempts, or assist...so?

If we are talking points per game...uh...they spend the majority of their season playing the bucks, 76ers, hawks...pretty much ever eastern conference team not named indiana or chicago...so yeah...when you playing the worst teams in the nba night in and night out i hope you can put up numbers

Meanwhile...we 3 games into the finals and the heat haven't cracked a 100 points yet...

Average Coach, But since Wade has his back he isn't going anywhere and he shouldn't

1. I have no idea what type of offense he runs cause he never stick with anything more than 2 positions. i'm like :wtf: why would u give up on lebron posting up forcing double teams and having your other players open or cutting to the basket. it work like 3 straight positions and he said fukk it. lets continue to run the man off the screen picks

2. bring haslem in for at least 10 minutes. he give u more than birdman

:comeon: Battier hit some key 3's in a couple of Finals games in their past 2 title runs. And he can guard Kawhi on the perimeter so Lebron doesnt have to run around so much. That's ALL I'm saying. He can even waste a few fouls on Kawhi that Lebron cant afford to.

Oden doesnt need to do anything but stand in the paint so Duncan and Splitter (and Diaw) don't get so many easy putback offensive rebs. He doesn't have to score. Just a few mins of interrupting what the Spurs are doing.

It ain't that simple though at all. With Oden Spurs would pull him from the basket in pick and rolls and have him running all over the court. Not to mention that with the way the Spurs whip the ball around the court back and forth waiting on an opening they need as much foot speed as possible for the Heat to run their defensive system. The strength in their system is aggressiveness and Oden is just to slow to keep their defense consistent.

Put Battier on the floor and Spurs are pounding it inside. If your idea is to have Battier guard Khawi then Lebron would have to spend more time guarding the bigs and I could see Pop pounding the ball inside just to try to wear down Lebron who has already been seeming wore down. That's why Spo has been try to stay with Lebron at the 3 to keep him from getting worn down.
