The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

[a-friend]

I've only got to see him once in Preseason.

With the players they've added and retained, he looks good enough to me.

Phil.


PJax made them dudes better.


Yes, a player can learn from Kobe's work ethic.


But Phil is the reason for improved players on any roster he was coaching, from Bill Wennington to Ron Harper to Lamar Odom.

Again, nobody going to claim Kobe is LeBron status in terms of elevating the play of his teammates. But to flat say Kobe didn't make his teammates better just screams naivety. Especially the three straight years he lead his team to the finals after Shaq left

The years after Shaq left and before those 3 straight Finals, tho.

Those years don't just disappear because of a Finals run...

... a Finals run that happened because Phil came back we got Pau.

Very disappointed that the NBA did away with the league pass mobile option that was $50. Looks like I won't be catching games regularly this year.

Yeah, it's bundled in with Broadband now. Probably too much of a headache to keep it split up. Maybe it's part of a bigger overhaul though.

Sucks that in Kobe's last season, he'll have to Tom Thib himself into the ground just to make sure they only lose by 20.

Kobes last season? Wut

Yes, Kobe's last season. It's bout to get skressful with Lin and Young. Get your tear ducts ready.

I mean are you guys really still having this argument, I think enough games have been played, the numbers back it up everyone plays better, even great players with Phil is a great coach.


He's not the undisputed greatest but he is on the mount rushmore with, Aurbach/Popavich ect

[pmatic]

On a related note, the Lakers have lost by a grand total of 89 points in their last three preseason games.

Just hope that's how this year works for him

He's looked well thus far

Kobe on ESPN ranking him 40th: "I've known for a long time they're a bunch of idiots."

 

[suberzat1]

Damn we killing it with the 3 pters. With Ryan, jimmer, and luke, we should be fine heading into the 3rd quarter

No idea why this argument is still going on. People should know by now NT is full of extremes. There is no grey area, only black and white.

The argument was that Kevin Durant and Kobe never made their teammates better they were just great scorers. Dwight Howard on the other hand made his teammates better because "he could pass the ball out of a double team, just check the stats on his teammates"

I kind of feel like it is pretty undisputed. At least in my eyes. Phil (and tex) are absolute geniuses man. Their ability to make the most out of their team and their talent is far and away unrivaled.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Don't think anyone was even debating Phil's legacy. We were talking about Kobe, Durant and Dwight and if they made their teammates better

it isn't undisputed and it's not unrivaled Pop and Red revolutionized the game in their own way, it way, they got the most out of talent, ect ect.

It would be distespectful to other great coaches to act like there is some big difference between pop and phil and red.

I would take Pop but thats me.

This is true however there was someone a couple of pages back I think who said something about Phil never having a team without an All NBA guy or some stupid **** like that

Pat Riley is up there too.

Man has coached squads with so many contrasting styles.
