Terry Stotts is the Norv Turner of the NBA

Yeah, like I said a roster full over overpaid malcontents that I want no part of. And you can't blame it all on Ron-Ron and the Fat Man. Ron-Ron doesn't start and Fatty McTurnover has missed 10 games and they actually play BETTER with him in the line-up (go figure).

Well, the only reason Bargnani was starting was because Chandler was injured. But they don't win much more with Chandler in the line-up. I think Bargnani sucks, I always have. But swapping him with Chandler hasn't had much impact on the Knicks success - which makes me wonder how much Chandler has left and if he's worth $14+ million to be our back-up center.

Shumpert is a worse shooter than Ricky Rubio. I know he's a good defender, but he'd be a horrible fit in Stotts system. We'd be playing 4-5 on offense and that would let other teams double team Aldridge EVERY time he touches the ball.

I really don't see how adding 2 starters from an 8-18 team, especially given Chandler's contract and injury concerns is a good idea. Like I said, I'd love to have Chandler as our back-up center - on a much more reasonable contract, but that's not a possibility.

I had to make some popped corn before reading this thread.

Most enjoyable for me is the enraged and baseless opinions of those labeling other people clueless, who have no idea what they are talking about themselves. It's not the first time I've written this, but it bears repeating: I have no problem with people expressing their opinions, but is it really too much to ask that they know what they are talking about before they start shouting? When will the "never satisfied" fan who feels the need to post about it constantly [troll] realize the irony in crying about being labeled a troll, as they call everyone who doesn't agree with them clueless? Why don't trolls ever answer questions or support their argument with reason and facts?

And while I can appreciate BNM's attempts in vain to interject with the reality of the CBA, one has to ask - does anyone really believe that those that start these threads can understand, or even care to accept why their opinion is based on fantasy? And if not, what's the point in explaining it to them?

Never mind, back to my popped corn.

 

just as those last couple of posts were made, Stein gave Stotts his Coach of the Trimester trophy.

Yeah, he's expecting...










A championship!

I dont remember Norv Turner winning coach of the trimester. SlyPokerDog is an idiot. IMHO

 

Nope but he certainly did win a USA News Coach of the Year for 2009/10
He also has 2 Super Bowl Rings as a coordinator

So the comparison is fairly appropriate.

 

Pretty sure the thread wasnt started in an effort to give Terry Stotts praise for his coaching abilities.

 

Less jaded fans?

 

Who understand the CBA?

exactly. And they're on their 3rd string pg now and are running backup sg out there to play point. That team wouldn't even be winning with LBJ out there

 

I agree. Turner was a good coach, San Diego did better with him than they ever did once he left. D'antoni would be another good example, though I like Stott's system much more than D'antonis

 

I really like Shumpert, he would give us a lot of versatility both defensively and offensively. Especially if we could bring him off the bench as our 6th man. I would be fine with CJ for Shump straight up. Shump has the potential to be the next Tony Allen

 

You buy low on guys, not high. This is the worst stretch he's had in his short career. He has a so so coach, terrible point guards and the team is struggling. I think he would be one of those guys where a change of scenery would help a lot.

 

This is my prediction for the game

Agreed Shumpert still has not hit his ceiling Williams hit his a while ago and is descending.

 

You think Mo would be enough to send back? I would think New York would want a young guy back like McCollum back seeing as how Shumpert is their only young asset besides Tim Hardaway Jr.
