Larry Brown did it for every team he touched except the Knicks and the Bobcats. And who could hold those two teams against him. :)

Careful now. If you start hating Dantoni I am going to have to take your Laker Lover card. We can't have fans not liking their coaches. Right?

You will never catch a player telling the media or anyone that their coach is just coat tailing them. But I will.

Phony Phil didn't run the Bulls MJ did, if MJ told Phony Phil to kick rocks, that's what would have happened. Phony Phil just shut up and listened to what ever MJ told him to do. Doug Collins wasn't that way and MJ hated him so they fired him.

Phony Phil didn't make MJ great, Pop didn't make TD great, and Spo isn't making Lebron great, they are just along for the rides.

Tell me this, if Phony Phil was such a masterful coach, why did Larry Brown hand him his .as.sterisk in '04? When Phony Phil had a super duper stacked team with maybe 4 or 5 HOF Players, I thought his was the master of managing talent? GTFOH

Yeah you are right. What was I thinking being a Spurs fan for all these years. I should have been pulling for Pop ONLY, I mean without him, where would we be?

It's not like we made the playoffs or anything before he hired himself.

Dude, don't mistake my dislike for Pop for anything but what it is. I am tired of him acting like he is coaching, but at the same time broke every known principle Larry Brown taught him about defense.

Larry Brown's Rule 1. Never play Bonner or YMCA players in playoff games for the last 6 years while wearing out your superstar HOF PF as he tries to cover both his man and Bonner's.

Larry Brown's Rule 2. See Rule 1 in an infinite loop

Somebody please find the footage of Kobe trying to end Mike Miller's career.

Bruce's ninja defense is pretty funny tho. :)

He tried to hurt Mike Miller.

Kobe is the #1 dirty player of them all.

With his ninja kick jump shots.

Dude lets not get started on ninja boy, because he is not just dirty on the court he is dirty off the court too.

He just knows not to mess with Dwade because that rascal don't play that.

Ninja boy is a bully! He always tries to fight Manu, because he knows Manu is not a fighter, but he will never try those tactics with Dwade. He knows better.

Not at all. My house is lit up come game time with all these basketball boys I have running thru here, and it's summer too.

I have been working from home for the Finals so I am completely rested come gametime.

Don't tell Kobe that. He still believes "HE" was the reason he has 5 rings, but it was his "TEAM" that missed the playoffs after Shaq left.

So he wants all the credit and none of the blame.

We??? You are with the Spurs now?

I thought you were from Florida what gives?

Dude I sit hear and listen to you guys make all the childish remarks about Lebron when he is the best basketball player many of you will ever have the privilege to see play, that makes me wonder do you and your little buddies know anything about this game.

Anyone who sits there as says Spo can coach really wouldn't know a good coach if he jump up and bit you in the a.s.terisk.

Having a super talented team doesn't make you a good coach, and losing games you shouldn't to lesser talented teams proves that.

Why do you think coaches get fired? They get fired because they are ruining the potential of the team. If you think Spo has the Heat playing at their true potential you are crazy.

Pop is guilty too, he has had super talented teams in the past but insisted on overplaying Bonner for the last 6 years and that's why I say he has ruined TD's final 6 years of his career.

No. He is not overplaying Bonner in this series because the Heat would look like they are using mini tramps attacking the rim if he puts those YMCA players in the game.

So far he is doing the correct thing, zone off the lane, and fire up as many 3ptrs as we can and see what happens.

Exactly.

This dude is clueless about making game time adjustments.

Thanks for the assessment, resident Spurs expert.

Maybe it was as simple as talent beats effort when talent gives an effort.

Pop didn't do anything wrong in that game, the Heat were dialed in from start to finish.

Thank you for your clueless assessment.

I think you are right. I had you mixed up with those other crazy dudes who are as crazy as a bessie bug. The Doctor dudes.

Those dudes sip on hate juice like fat people love cheeseburgers and a diet coke.

I see why he is so hateful, anyone pulling for the Knicks since the '70s, can't be anything but a bitter ole man who is jealous of real talent.

Wait. No Lebron hate this morning???

Did you check your temperature? You must be burning up with fever. :)

Well now this thing has turned into a three game series. And I have to give Pop credit for not playing Bonner and giving us a chance. It only took him like 6 years to stop doing it.

But unless we can hit 10+ 3ptrs we can't beat that team when they are dialed in.

We are going to need another 30 3pt attempts to play with the Heat because like I have said on many occasions no team is going to out play the Heat with 2pt baskets, and we are not going to be the first. Our only chance is to let the 3ptrs fly or die.

The formula for our punchers chance is NO BONNER (< 10mins, preferably no mins at all) and 10 + made 3ptrs.

Yeah but you gotta give him credit, he knows where his bread is buttered. And not once did he complain when DRose took his time coming back.

Which by the way was the smartest thing that young man could have done. I am all for anyone looking out for their best interest when it comes to their health, if you don't, no one else will.

This is a funny story. Phony Phil saying he quit AGAIN! Coat tailers tend to do that when their ride comes to an end.

Didn't he quit after MJ retired? And now that he knows he has no chance to coach the next G.O.A.T., there should be no surprise he is quitting again.

What is so puzzling to me is if he thinks Kobe was so great, like MJ was, why doesn't he want to coach ninja boy any more??? hmmmmmmm

This really makes no sense if Phony Phil really believes ninja boy has the same stuff that MJ had or better yet, if ninja boy is so much better than Lebron. Yeah right.

Phony Phil knows better, he is quitting because he knows the Lakers are not even a legit playoff team. They are old and slow and as long as Kobe is on that team, they will probably finish 8th or 9th in the West.

The haters are out in full force this morning. It must be game day.

Yeah you may have a point there, he may have played his way out of Miami.

If it is one thing Riley wants, it's rebounding, and Bosh seems to be allergic to hitting the glass.

Sudden???

Nothing has changed.

Spurs always come first. Lebron is one of my favorite players, but it's not like I didn't enjoy seeing him lose to us before in '07. Nothing has changed.

But I also know that 2 wins isn't 4, so I am very cautious to celebrate too early because Lebron is still Lebron and it ain't over until we have that 4th win and the clock hits zero.

Jealous???

Neal wit it!
