Nate McMillan, next head coach of the Miami Heat?

That team is almost uncoachable. They have a lot of arrogant egos and I doubt they listen to their coach now. I doubt they'll listen to Nate, either. I think they would respect Riley or maybe Doc. It'd be a job for a ring or two, but he'd be a puppet coach.

 

"Coach wants to work, we want to chill" - Chris Bosh

Yes, that's a real quote from Chris Bosh.

 

Not so fast, my friend. PJ's agent has already been in contact with Pat. Besides, Nate told me a while back that many, many aspects of LeBron James game/life are what's wrong with today's NBA.

 

Maybe there's hope for the rest of the league after all.

 

And I thought, all this time, Bosh was a sparkplug.

 

Wade is deluded. He called them the greatest threesome ever before they even played a single game. The Heat are going nowhere. They'll win some games. Obviously, they won't go 75-7 like some in here predicted and they will go nowhere in the playoffs if the Celtics are healthy. I can't wait to watch the Lakers rout them on Christmas Day.

 

Then you're not a pure Blazers fan.

 

Well Pat Riley will likely take over by Christmas and then he'll probably re-sign himself for next season.

 

Pat Riley, next head coach of the Miami Heat.

 

Riley greatly overrates himself. He doesn't have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar now. He disappears when his team loses its best players and he'll look bad.

Now we appreciate what Raptor coach Sam Mitchell went through while he was on the hot seat for a couple of years before being fired.

McMillan would bring that team up to the 55-win glass ceiling and then say, "I keep telling them to fast break and they won't."

 

Please let this happen

 

That's my theory as well.

 

Ya know, that's a real interesting observation. But I'm going to disagree with these thoughts...

Most coaches (but not all) have their niches. That is, the better coaches are really good at something particular. maybe it's taking sub quality talent and coaching them up to be a better team than the talent level suggests (Nellie, Nate), but can't win titles. Some coaches are brilliant at X's & O's. Some are good at coaching great players others cannot coach. To me, that's Riley (and also Phil Jackson). Riley gets the respect of great players and they listen and play hard for him. He leaves when the great players are gone as he can't coach mediocre players to be better. His specialty is coaching great players and bringing them together. That's why he'd be as perfect coach for that team.

 

Yeah, that agrees with what I said. So you're absolutely wrong saying you disagree with me, and absolutely right in what you said. It shows you're good with facts like me, but bad at judgements unlike me.

I wrote this in the paradoxical style I like to see in my signature.

 

Hmmmmmm.......

Is that what you said?
