D’Antoni explains why he doesn’t like calling timeouts

In the end i'm not even sure what's the point in getting too technical here, i mean, timeouts are literally there to be used to stop the game, whether it is because you want to change players or gameplan, to quiet the crowd or to stop other teams momentum...timeouts are literally there to stop the game and regroup/adjust so, if you won't use them when your team is drowning (which is what Mike usually does late), i don't know...

 

You're pretty annoying and a know-it-all. Just FYI.

 

Well i've not been watching basketball for 20 years or more but one thing i sure noticed is that Timeouts do definetly stop runs.

I dont know where the hell he is getting that data from.

 

Murray got into him

There is no way analytics can measure an outcome of a timeout....

 

Lol.

If you still not calling timeout when ur players too tired to move legs, its called stupid.

 

Timeout is used for adjustments and resting players.

Those words prove again that MDA knows nothing about adjustments.

We even dont need MDA out there since the game started. He can go home sleeping.

 

Nerds dont know basketball

 

If we dont need calling timeout, then why we need a coach out there?

 

This.

MDA's words make me confused.
Perhaps he is too old to have clear mind.

 

How about the analytic that the most successful NBA coach of all time does not do this. He was famously vocal about not calling timeouts. The most successful NBA coach of all time is on the same side as Mike.

 

LOOOOL. Peter you must be a huge nerd then.

 

I think this is the biggest reason timeouts don't show affect in scoring runs more. Most great coaches take corrective action sooner before it becomes a big run. If the same mistake is made too many times the coach will call a time out to correct it. The Rockets have way too many times repeated the same foolish actions repeatedly to give up big runs or lose leads. I'm sure if you look at how many times the Rockets have turnovers on 3 or more consecutive possessions compared to the Spurs it would be a huge difference. Because Pop will call a time out the 2nd time and make some type of adjustment.

Also timeouts are limited in the 4th quarter (3) and last 3 mins of a game (2) so not necessary to save them too much.

 

Popovich has many of the fastest timeouts in history....Not same side as Mike

I bet you are those who only speak basketball but never play it. You know nothing about basketball.

 

Well thats not true at all LOL. But if your game is anything like your basketball takes than you must be a horrible horrible player haha.

 

Thanks for the tip...people often call me a phallus.

Maybe I'm just showing a little sense of urgency something this coach lacks therefore this team lacks.

 

D'anPhonie has never played a game of "21" with make until you miss free throws. You know when that one kid always just drains his free throws to keep scoring and you just have to stand there and rebound for him. Well, instead of passing back to him, you roll it out of reach to either side of him, so he has to step away from his spot, to throw off his rhythm. 60% of the time, it works every damn time.

 

@seeratsohi: The early timeout that helped the Raptors match Giannis Antetokounmpo's intensity, beat the Bucks in Game 4 and flip the script on the Eastern Conference Finals:

Was talking about the guy who won more than twice as many championships as him, Phil Jackson.

 

Phil Jackson didn't call timeouts to try to stop runs, but he almost always called timeouts when players made silly mistakes or for the last possession. Even if only to tell Pippen to sit down and shut up because he wasn't clutch. He also called timeouts if players needed a breather (Shaq). Or if he needed to bench someone who wasn't performing.

Phil coached more with one on one interaction. He would pull players to the bench to talk to them and make adjustments individually. I think most would consider that just as useful as a timeout, but its not what we do.
