Oh, come on.

 

Correction: "Nice" Stan isn't the best motivator. Yelling and screaming stan, in fact, is.

 

If he knew anything about the game and could actually coach, he could yell, be the biggest ahole in the NBA, and the players would still have some respect for him.

 

What the hell was that exchange with the refs about singing a song? (talking about when he was wired live against LA). I thought Stan always says the problem is lack of focus?

 

This guy cannot coach to save his life. I suspect he only got the assistant and Miami coaching job because his brother knew Riley.

 

your lack of knowledge doesn't surprise me anymore.

Here is my 2 cents on Stan and Vince/Hedo:

 

- Stan:

Stan is not the best motivator for sure. His

personal skills may lack some warm approachable

older brother figure.He is also very animated and

expressive. Doesn't like keeping anything in. May

not make the best decision on lineups and

rotations, or offensive gamesets.

 

But..

 

He is a very demanding person, perfectionist kind

of. And he is not afraid of any player or Stern to

speak his mind. He seems also very good with

statistics and kind of a clever guy.

 

So, let's look at achievements of Magic during

his time:

 

07-08 improved from 40 to 52 wins, one MIP award, 2nd round

08-09 improved to 59 wins, one DPOY award, COY nomination, Finals

 

I would say that keep Stan, but hire some good

assistant coaches for more offensive creativity.

 

- Vince/Hedo:

Vince is probably the best dunker in the NBA history

and a solid scorer. However he doesn't seem to play

very well with other established scorers around him

(Jameer, Rashard). Vince needs the ball in his hands

to get himself going, and he doesn't have the awareness

of his teammates needs that much. He takes the easy

route way too much with 2 feet behind the 3pt line chuckers.

 

Hedo was not very athletic and a relatively inconsistent

scorer, but his dribbling skills and game IQ was very high.

In addition, his personal awareness was very high, and he always

tried to get all the teammates involved in the game

early. Hedo needed the ball in his hands to get his

teammates going (especially Rashard). That's why he was

mr.4th quarter, he didn't look for his shot until late

in the game, which might explain some inconsistency. He also

didn't always perform well with minimal rest between

games.

 

 

So, the problem this season is that:

Jameer is a solid scorer , so he looks to get himself going early

(as opposed to Alston whose shooting was secondary).

Rashard needs to be fed the ball to score (can't create

his own much), and same with Dwight.

So, we are left with Barnes/Pietrus and vince in

the starting lineup. Now, Barnes doesn't handle the

ball much, and Pietrus is not known to pass anything.

 

Vince is the guy who should be balancing this starting

lineup by creating mainly for Rashard and Dwight. He

is not doing it so far, and our starting lineup always

gets outplayed by the other team.

 

I agree. Great post.

But your lack of ability to respond with something other than noob one liners is totally expected

 

When mods display they now ZERO about the game its also not surprising there's all these little kids calling the long-time fans of the game/team "trolls" etc. The mods are just as lost! LOL

Any actual reason why you decided to use parenthesis? It's not like you were being too subtle.
