Does it really matter my friend?

Lucas had a winning % around .650 with Spurs. (2 years) ......poor years with crappy players w/ 76ers/Cavs.

JVG did well with Knicks........but Rockets gave him the boot because Yao and McGrady couldn’t stay healthy.
I posted a podcast interview with JVG prior to restart/ bubble. Still sounds like “old school” Thibs mentality
of no load management and over working players through practice. He claimed his teams need to practice
because some team somewhere was probably out practicing his team . Yeah, yeah, yeah, there is always someone smarter, taller, thinner, fatter, dumber, richer, poorer, stronger, weaker......and yes practicing more. If it equated to more wins then Kawhi not practicing and playing every game would not have resulted a
Championship with Raptors. Did Yao/McGrady break down because of over practice + games?
Perhaps contributed?

Cassell had one of the best teams constructed in the Clippers.....up 3-1 and blew it. Yes, he was not the head coach
but I hold it against Doc Rivers/Ty Lue/ Cassell. I don’t expect coaches to be cheerleaders but I do expect them
to handle inner strife. I posted in the first round that I heard rumblings that the Clippers were struggling with off
the court stuff.

Atkinson is a Popovich disciple. Motion offense.......but he ran an offense similar to current Rockets scheme.
I believe Durant & Kyrie Irving (who were injured this season) got him booted from the team. Why? Apparently
they didn’t think much of his coaching style or philosophy.........something? Has he won more games
in Brooklyn with crappy players than Lucas won in 76ers/Cavs with crappy players? If I blame it on poor coaching for Lucas with 76ers/Cavs; then I chalk it up as poor coaching in Brooklyn with Atkinson. Slightly better players in Brooklyn.

I think Morey bailed because Tilman wants JVG.......and deep down he knows that pushes Harden out of Houston.
Rockets don’t sniff the playoffs without Harden. JVG ends up looking like JVG without Yao/McGrady once
Harden leaves.

I like your in depth analysis, my friend. We're stuck in a dark place without fresh ideas.

Westbrook improvement shooting 3’s helps open things up in the playoffs.....only other thing that can save this franchise is trading Westbrook to the Knicks. Harden has to sign off on his friend going.

Trading Harden doesn’t guarantee success. Orlando traded Dwight Howard for a ton and struggled even though
Vucevic came out of it. Andrew Bynum was a big deal back then......Washington took a bath on that deal.
And the Lakers lost Dwight Howard a season later.

Spurs don’t seem better since trading Kawhi away.

Guess Tilman is acting like Jerry Jones and playing Owner-GM-Scout. Except without the deep pockets.
Recipe for disaster.

If youre going to coach, why not do it in LA for an owner who is going to pay you lots of money.
