Thank god


Maybe AD will get a good coach now

 

[cruzg24]

Mark Jackson to the Pelicans?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'm so happy

 

[Pugz]

joe dumars needs to make his coaching debut.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Kenny Atkinson, Alvin Gentry, Fred Hoidberg would all be on my list, among others.

Windhorst brings up Thibs as a candidate. The thought of him overworking that injury plagued team is just hilarious. 

 

[bosoxlover12]

Alvin Gentry lmao

As long as Dell gets to run the process (which it sounds like he will) I don't think Thibs will really even be a candidate.

Gentry did good things in Phoenix, but they quickly started rebuilding after his best season. Not a coincidence that he's been the lead assistant under two of the top teams in the league the last two years.

I'm not saying he will be, cause I know Windhorst was just spit balling any potential name available. Just funny to think about.

Wrong division right?

It was less of "starting to rebuild", and was more of "losing Amare Stoudemire in his prime". And he had one good season in his entire HC career

The Clippers have been better this year than the two years without Gentry, and while he is doing well in GS, I'd credit that a lot more to Kerr and Adams.

I just don't get the hiring of a coach who doesn't have a history of winning. Happens in the MLB/NFL too, and it doesn't make sense. I'd much rather try for Hoiberg than for Gentry.

 

[elcheato]

So you're using the Clippers improvement this year as a reason to dismiss Gentry, but then not giving any credit for the Warriors better play?

 

I'm not even saying he's all that important, but you can't have it both ways if you're going to use that Clippers thing. 

 

The only coaches available that have a "history of winning" are usually the shitty coaches who fell into great situations and got fired when they couldn't get over the hump 

 

I love Hoiberg but given his health I'm not sure he's going to leave ISU.

If you read what I said, I stated that the Warriors success has more to do with Kerr and Adams, as well as Curry and Klay's overall improvement, more than Gentry being there

 

[buzzy]

You act like you know which coach is responsible for what part of a team's system.
 
We know fuck all what goes on behind closed doors.

 

[Teagz]

Thibs

I did read what you said. You said the Clippers were worse last year with Gentry as the associate/assistant HC compared to this year, and then said the Warriors improvement had little to do with Gentry being there as the associate/assistant HC, to which I said you can't have it both ways. Not sure why I had to read it again. 

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I would be thrilled if we hired Gentry. I don't care what happened in PHX, dude can coach.
