    "Jason Kidd received the nod due to his team's ability to beat Stotts in Portland"

    With the right players, I think Stotts could be a championship coach.

    Not to take anything away from Terry, but with the right players, I think I could be a championship coach. The difference is, Terry may just be one player away. I'd need about 10 future first ballot Hall of Famers to pull it off.

    I could win with 5 first ballot guys and a Jeff Gillooly type if he was more effective and sneaky

    Or, 5 first ballot Hall of Famers and the Hanson brothers (the Slapshot ones, not the MMMbop ones).

    Lmao. Yeah, I was kinda picturing @bodyman5000 and 1 wanting a Laimbeer type player... Three would be even better....

    I couldn't win dick with 12 cloned Lebron's. I'm comfortable enough to admit that nba coaches know a lot more about basketball than I do. And that is ok.

    But you're smart enough to know what you don't know. With 12 LeBrons you just roll the ball out there and let them do the rest.

    You know, just like Tyronn Lue does.

    I thought Stotts should be fired?

    You're right.

    Nurkic is actually the coach of the month. The league just can't recognize him as such since the CBA prohibits player-coaches, so he demanded the award be given to Stotts.

    Of course, they complied.

    I hated Laimbeer sooooooo bad but I did know I'd want him on my team. I always said that Duck didn't look coordinated and he could have easily fell and took out Pippen's legs. Misdirection by not taking out MJ.

    And to repeat it, I couldn't win anything as a coach of the WNBA with my knowledge either. There are people who know a lot more than us.
