    Jerry Krause knew Phil Jackson and Tex Winters were good. He had them in place before he fired Doug Collins.

    Make sure you have somebody better. If Stotts is no good that shouldn't be a problem.

    Very nice picture of Dame handing wins to Terry.

    Or Dame winning games for, what I believe, is your favorite team.

    Man, I hope we go all the way. Sayin that, I think it depends more on Dame than Stotts.

    Videos like this depress me. Is it possible Neil is just being nice? Seems delusional

    On some days, I think I could even tolerate Stotts, if his ego wasn't too weak to bring in some more coaches and give them more responsibilities. A defensive specialist. Somebody who would only be responsible for design and assigning inbounds plays. A big man coach who is actually big.

    Sure, but nobody else knew. He was really an unknown commodity at that point, and that's my point. There are promising people out there that haven't had a shot yet and I'd rather try one of them then hire another retread.

    Hopefully we win it all...

    But we win if we lose in the first or second round too, as that will make sure stotts gets fired too.

    A lot to look forward to!

    Guys like Jackson & Riley took over teams that had deep talent and at times multi super stars. Not saying they were ordinary coaches but they were fortunate coaches.

    Many years ago, I played in the NBA Entertainment League. We were playing the Lakers who had Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Frankie Muniz, and Justin Timberlake among others. Snoop dominated cuz no one would box him out except for me. So we were losing the game and I had the ball with about 10 seconds left and Timberlake was guarding me. He backs off me out of pity to like give me a chance (I hadn’t scored all game) and I shot the ball and missed everything. Now THAT was embarrassing,

    Not negative, realistic.

    Team doesn't make it to the conference finals, stotts is gone. What a glorious day that'll be! One for the record books!

    But if win the finals that's good too.

    So win-lose(conference finals)-lose(in the finals)-win.

    And if we do win the finals or get to the finals or conference finals, won't be because of stotts. Just in spite of.

    So yes, realistic.

    If this team gets to the finals, win or lose, it would be stupid to not have him finish out his last year. Especially if they plan on signing Norm. Realistically....
