with a side of stupid sauce. Same posters hammering home the same opinions they've expressed umpteen times before. We got it already... STOMP
Name a coach in this league that would've won a playoff series with the 2005-06 roster. Learn the game, then post.
It's the way we lose in the playoffs. We just seem lost, making it up as we go along, no coherent offense or defense. When we win, we barely win; when we lose, we get blown out. It just seems the games and series should be closer. In pro sports you change players and coaches all the time. It's no big deal to make a change. You don't need a big reason to make a change; you need a big reason NOT to to make a change. The decision is usually after 2 years, not the 8 years McMillan is getting. McMillan advocates think that we need a big reason to change coaches. In pro sports, it's the opposite. Be a big success or move over for your replacement. I think we should try someone new.
There is new data, though: another playoff loss. I don't know much about NBA coaches and what it takes to succeed, but at SOME point, I think that a coach needs to be accountable for being unable to make it out of the first round. Are we to that point with Nate? Not in my opinion, but he's closer to being out than he was, say, two years ago. A guy needs to win eventually, irrespective of his roster. Ed O.
the posters I'm referring to have voiced their opinions plenty since the new data was added. I know you appreciate board activity in general, but isn't it understandable how reading the same stuff from the same posters over and over becomes tiresome? Here is a partial compilation list of Nate bitching from these two since the playoffs. http://sportstwo.com/threads/185540-11-years http://sportstwo.com/threads/185535-It-s-just-laughable-at-this-point http://sportstwo.com/threads/185544-Official-NATE-SUCKS-FIRE-NATE!!!-Thread http://sportstwo.com/threads/185537...Gerald-Wallace-into-a-spot-up-3-point-shooter A poster expressing any opinion here ad nausea doesn't help that opinion happen, it only annoys the other posters. I'm hardly a big fan of Nate's... he's passable and not much more IMO STOMP
Does that go both ways with you, Stomp? I mean there are some in here that are equally painful to read when they are constantly blowing rainbows up peoples asses. I think that is part of the reason the some of us are so anti whatever?
sure, I'm not a fan of any broken record. Doesn't it seem reasonable to keep the same sentiment in the same time period confined to one or two threads? That we have at least 5 on this with the same few posters starting yet another thread to hammer the same redundant points in the past week since losing to Dallas is what I commented on, not the actual subject matter. Ed's comments seem to indicate he wasn't aware that this dead horse has already been thoroughly beaten in multiple threads which is why I responded in the post you quoted STOMP
At least half the posts in those threads were from your side, ridiculing the existence of the threads. Thread #3 wasn't started by ILoveOden, it was started by Boob, supposedly to merge the threads. I posted the only serious comment in it and it became obvious that it was just there to parody anti-McMillan threads. So that thread doesn't belong in your list. Thread #2 spans 15 hours. Thread #4 spans a day. Both ended, so why are you complaining that they were started? You should complain that they weren't merged. You disagree with the point of view of the threadstarter so you want the 2 enduring threads to end. Firing the coach is major enough to warrant 2 lasting threads. It's like having multiple threads on matters you find harmless, like who to draft, which players are doing well, etc. Should each of those subjects have only one ongoing thread? Even if firing Nate had only one ongoing thread, you'd still object to that.
can't you be bothered to read? I just stated that "I'm hardly a big fan of Nate's" and that subject matter isn't the issue. Or are you claiming super powers able to read deep into my subconscious and what I stated isn't how I honestly feel? didn't I just say 1 or 2 threads on the same subject matter is fine? Posters should be able to air their views on important subject matter like the coach, no question. Whether the OP expressed a pro or con view doesn't really matter to a multiple page discussion. But after having expressed their points multiple times in 2-3 existing threads, the same poster(s) starting yet another on the same exact subject matter a day or two later is just being an ass cluttering up the board for readers regardless of what their view is. Doing so doesn't lend the poster's view weight, it makes it seem like they've got OCD. Merge? Sure I guess, though I'd rather the Mods not be bothered with this sort of stuff. A little self control would be much better. At the least, a new thread on something thats been beaten to death should bring something new to the discussion. Reading the title in this thread, I thought the poster was going to suggest who they thought was the brightest young coach to possibly replace Nate. Hopefully thats clear enough for you STOMP
In our past three playoff appearances, I think Nate was outcoached by Adelman and Carlisle and we just didn't have the weapons against Phoenix.
