No, you're wrong. It is inconsistent to put all the blame on him for the bad things and all the credit to the players to the good things. It is wrong and poor debating strategy...you can't win doing that. You are just making things worse. I could just as easily say...what on earth is the best player in the NBA doing it ruining Brown's tremendous coaching in the 1st half by going 0 for 6 in the 3rd quarter?? That argument is the same as yours and just as ridiculous. How on earth can you say it's all the players in the 4th but all Brown in the 3rd?? There is simply no comibination of the two at any point??

SportyFans.






This is the same guy that credited James and soley James for the Cleveland Cavs turn around from that 15-67 season.











I mean let's call a hypocrite a MainCourse fer cripes sakes.

i feel like there is a movie going on around here in this nba coach thread

Kinda like "Metro Hoosiers"

You obviously dont watch much basketball.

When Eric Snow is in to close out a game and ends up taking two crucial freethrows, its bad coaching

When you have a team backed up and dont close them out, its poor coaching

When you consistantly substitute the wrong players, while leaving bad sets on the floor its poor coaching.

When you start a guy who can barely walk, and he leads out the second half shooting three drawn up bricks, its bad coaching

When you dont Tell Lebron to attack the basket when they are in penalty, its poor coaching.

When you lose two on the road in which you outplayed the other team both games, its poor coaching.

The guy is a bad coach, just terrible. The Cavs have won both games because of the raw talent, they have been close games because of poor coaching.

I should make that a condition....but I won't.






The condition is I don't want to sit there and wait day after day to get approved.


I know Arty does that to just to get back at me. If I have to wait more than one hour.....then that's it.







That would be my condition and a mighty fair one I would think.

Yeah, but Brown wasn't there that season!! And again, we have discussed this. That is not what I said or meant by that, and you know it.

When you tell Gibson to penetrate and get to the line it's tremendous coaching...

When you tell Gooden to make his wide open shots and draw up plays that continually give him wide open shots it's tremendous coaching...

When you come from behind in the 4th two games in a row against a 5 time consecutive conference finalist it is tremendous coaching...

When you put James on billups in the 4th quater and he is stifled that is tremendous coaching...

when donyell Marshall scores 7 points in the 3rd quarter when the team can't shoot, and keeps you in the game, that is a tremendous substitution and tremendous coaching...

When the plays you call get you two wide open shots to win games on the raod against a 5 time consecutive conference finalist that is tremendous coaching...

Yeah...this is really hard Bid isn't it???

HE hit not one, but two game winning shots in the playoffs last year. At age 22, LeBron has 15 playoff wins...I think at that age, Bird and Jordan had a total of zero combined.

Why bother with facts when making things up is so much better!!!


-------------------------------------


I would say he did say it.





What about you?

Well we have to get it right...fair is fair.


Maybe if you asked him?

I still don't see in that post mr mortimer (or ms...don't know your gender) where I said James was "solely" responsible. I didn't mention coaching or coaches or anything. I simply said in two years James had them over .500 as a general statement responding to a post that said he was overrated. YOu're gonna have to employ better spacing and more of it next time!!!

Oh my God.





Yes...Arty or Krispy...they both do that to me.

SportyFans......





...let's add legally blind to our NBA analysts resume.


=;>

I dont know whos a bigger clown, you or the Cavs coach. Neither one of you have a clue

Show me where I am wrong?? Refute my comments. YOu made a bunch of spurious statements showing Brown was a bad coach. I made a bunch of spurious comments showing Brown was a tremendous coach. You can't refute them. Your only response is to call me a clown. I have followed cleveland sports for 35 years. Perhaps you have as well. Did you watch all the Cavs '76 playoff games? Were you at the Sipe interception game like I was...were you at the Drive game like I was??

Your comments on Brown are beyond ridiculous.

I am glad you know me so well as to be able to infer things from what I write that I didn't say. Are you my biological mom??

Would the Cavs be 12-0 in the playoffs right now if you were coaching them??

I was at all of them, and Ill be at Whiteys tonight if you want to talk about them.

Anyone whos watched the Cavs play realize they havent reached full potential. They are streaky, and inconsistant, and thats a direct reflection of the coach. Im not taking streaky scoring, Im talking througout the season . I argued 20 posts ago why hes a bad coach, and I dont want to type it all again. He just constantly makes the wrong moves, hes horrific. The Cavs could have hired Van Gundy, instead they went with him thinking he would relate better to the players
