witesoxfan Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 01:26 PM) Then explain to me why all the points you guys just made didn't add up to Thibs winning the title. Y'all just spent several posts explaining why he should have won. You can have the fastest donkey in the world, but it's still not going to win the Kentucky Derby.

ZoomSlowik Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) I don't get how what Pop did this year with the Spurs is more impressive than what Thibs did with the Bulls. The Spurs have Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. The Bulls lost their #1 star 6 games into the season, and their #2 star was traded away. The Bulls were a freaking lottery team under about any other coach. Even if their record was reversed at 34-48, that would have been impressive with the complete lack of talent they have. This part is ridiculous. Have you looked at the East recently? Charlotte has less talent than the Bulls IMO and they won 43 games this year. They really only have two guys that you look at and say "that's a guy that can be in a rotation for a good team". The Bulls have issues at PG, but they still have three good frontcourt players and two useful wings. Now Thibs is obviously a good coach, but to me it's REALLY hard to call it an injustice that someone in the East this year wasn't COY. As I implied earlier, I'd say Clifford has as good a case with what he did defensively with that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all just spent several posts explaining why he should have won. I didn't cause like I said I really don't care. To me, it's silly if the voters use the ring argument to settle a season argument. That being said, it certainly wouldn't shock me if they do indeed do that(like hitting being factored into a gold glove), it's just dumb if they do.

Kyyle23 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I see these stories involving Izzo, Donovan, Calipari and read them as "College coach that has everything he wants at his disposal really wants s***ty job that is impossible to win at and to risk damaging elite reputation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) Then he should go win a title. Phil Jackson won 11 titles. He was coach of the year once, just like Thibs. The Bulls had to win 72 games for that honor. Edited April 22, 2014 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 01:02 PM) Given Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, it wouldn't surprise me at all. I'd also like to see how Popp would do with this Bulls roster. A non-overused Rose maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what your response means, but you clearly aren't aware that Rose only played 39 games the year he got injured and averaged a measly 35:14 mpg. If that's overused, then everyone should just kill themselves. That mpg put him at 37th in the league that season, behind guys like Andrew f***ing Bogut, Joe Johnson, Raymond f***ing Felton, etc. He wasn't over-used. He just gets hurt a lot.

Jake Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 That Spurs team has an old Duncan, aging Parker, a good-not-great Kawhi Leonard, and a bunch of roleplayers. It is no small accomplishment that they are the number 1 seed in the West. Switch the coaches and that team has no business winning more games than OKC, Westbrook or not.
