Coaching doesn't matter, only player talent matters

McHale sat harden during 4th quarter that was a coaching move.

 

Mchale is an idiot.

 

Who didn't laugh when Coach Lue says he has the hardest NBA coaching job. Who doesn't think Blatt was fired because Cleveland's GOAT? Harden became coach and tanked game 6 because he got tired, worn by the coach. Coaching is overrated.

 

What do you call it when a team loses Dwight Howard, hires a new coach, signs players to execute his system, reassigns the star player to execute the system, and wins 14 more games than the previous year?

I'd call that, in part, good coaching.

But I agree with you that coaches are credited or blamed for many things that are out of their hands. D'Antoni's previous stints make your case.

 

When talent is relatively equal, coaching is the difference.

 

but how many teams have 4 all-stars where 2 of them are MVP winners / Scoring champions, 1 is one of the few true 2 way players in the league than can drop 60 points through 3 quarters, a DPOY candidate, and a 6th man of the year candidate?

i mean yeah coaching only means so much when you have that much talent, but unless you have all that you need good coaching as well.

 

I get what you're saying.

However Marc Jackson wasn't able to win a championship with Warriors.


Yet, Kerr did.

 

These 5 star threads are popping up everywhere.

 

The only that matters is business. Watching 'fixed' game after fixed game is unbearable. I hate the dishonesty in sports.

 

so you're suggesting there might be a conspiracy?

 

nope, coaching doesn't matter when you have talented players.

 

Dude, you are educating sheeple in every thread! Stay woke fam!

 

you think kerr had no impact on g.s.? phil no impact on the lakers? pops for the spurs?

 

BOSTON

 

great talent makes a successful coach... coaching 101

 

Wrong!!

MDA blew the series against The Spurs. Rockets had better talent. I'm not going to say he was out coached.....Popovich just use common sense. Pop extended his bench and MDA didn't, it showed as the series progressed

 

so when MDA extended his bench in game 6 what happened . oh lose by 40 without the spurs best player ok

 

Exactly. More specifically...

- Warriors went from 11th in points in the paint, to 3rd
- Warriors went from 6th in pace to 1st
- Warriors went from DEAD LAST in the nba in passes per possession to top 10

^ those #s might not be the exact final numbers in Kerr's first season but its around there.

I mean, Kerr wasn't the most important thing. Curry, Klay and Dray's improvement were the most important. Maybe Dray as much as anything since he was the permanent starter ... which was kind of a coaching move, though Jackson finally went to it in the playoffs his last year.

Putting Iggy on the bench was a coaching move.

Basically, there is no doubt in my mind that if the Warriors hire Derek Fisher as a coach instead of Steve Kerr, the NBA landscape is COMPLETELY different.

 

Case #3: The Rockets open round 2 in the 2017 playoffs by blasting the Spurs a new rectum by utterly thrashing them on their home court. Pop doesn't panic, keeps his troops focused, makes key adjustments, and then takes the series in an away game. A lesser coach (Doc Rivers, who is vastly overrated IMO) would have struggled to keep his team's mindset right after that Game 1 blowout.
