I put pop up there because he also has a lot of input on general manager issues . Stevens in Boston seems to know what he's doing . Thibs had a great run a few years ago. Vogel has a good run with ind. budenholzer in atl is very good. I'm probably forgetting some peolpe. I don't know about steve Kerr.

It's called getting guys to buy in. It's really really hard to do to get guys to agree to play a system and not just do what they want most of the game because there's really not much a coach can do to stop them from doing this. He also, famously, did manage Kobe and Shaq about as well as anyone ever did.

Which is why I was glad when the Jeanie/Phil relationship was over . . . little did I know that Damocles would have a much crueler weapon to place above me in Magic Johnson.

Having three guys who can get their own shot is an important part of why the Spurs are so good despite bucking the increasing pace/3pa trend

chunkles posted:Is anyone else planning on celebrating mardi gras by staying inside and avoiding all king cakes? I won't be able to face one without imagining the king cake baby springing out to eat my face off like a xenomorph the problem here is that although King Cake Baby is cool and good, actual king cakes taste like poo poo. How a good food city like Nawleens can have such a crappy traditional recipe is beyond me. Imagine going to Maryland for the first time and finding out that genuine Maryland crab cakes taste like rear end. You would be as outraged as I am about the king cake scam.

Libertine posted:I just assume that anyone in good seats at a Warriors game who has permanent residence in San Francisco is a millionaire because how else would you afford to live there anyways. If you bought your house in the 1970s to early 90s, you got to ride up with it as it became worth a fortune, yet you don't pay squat for a mortgage and your property taxes are obscenely low because of Prop 13. There is a nice old lady living on my street who lives off social security and a really tiny pension, in a little house that is worth several dozen times what she paid for it. As long as old time San Franciscans own their home and never move, they do just fine.

There are some really good versions of King Cake, like maple walnut, but the stuff with that sugar on top of it grosses me out. Of course I ate it like every day last year since I was broke and there was always one in the kitchen in my office.

Like loving seriously. quote:But the Reinsdorfs still hold management's talent evaluation in high regard, one source said, and also have valued its ability to avoid hamstringing the franchise with bloated, long-term contracts for players with minimal impact. Valentine, Can't get in the rotation. Bobby Portis can't get in the rotation Doug McDermott is the only viable rotation member(Took 5 loving picks to get him too). Snell Traded for loving MCW Marquise Teague is out of the loving league. gently caress this goddamn loving organization.

Punkin Spunkin posted:He also, unlike Pop, didn't really demonstrate as much willingness to adapt his systems and philosophies to his personnel over the years. I guess he didn't need to, but I'd say that means he had less adversity that required adapting. Look at Pop still steaming ahead this year with so much roster turnover in the post-Duncan era. His coaching doesn't get that much praise because he doesn't have a coaching tree like other guys, so there aren't people in the media ready to talk about how smart whatever things he did were. He was really good at manipulating his psychotic superstar players psychologically into playing good basketball, his teams won, others have failed to do what he did

It's very different to run a team with Kobe and Shaq than it is to run one with Michael Jordan and Luc Longley. The Lakers ran a vastly different version of the triangle based on their personnel every year. It's a lot different to run a system where you have Glen Rice shooting threes than Rick Fox than Metta World Peace. He also routinely beat Pop head to head and generally made better adjustments than him and the only Spurs victory over the Lakers with him around required Kobe fracturing his rear end to happen. And he didn't have adversity? Yeah golly there was no drama happening with the Lakers ever. Rick fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Hey, I couldn't agree more. Prop 13 has ruined this state's finances, and has played a large part in directly causing the ridiculous increases in home prices and rent we have seen out here. It sucks rear end. Government by proposition sucks in general. /derail over
