Agree to disagree. I don't think this roster makes the WCF if Pop is cloned and coaching both teams. Splitter outplayed LaMarcus the whole series and I don't believe that had anything to do with coaching.
Yeah thank for finding that stats, it shows Stotts was really good! If we can consistently bump that up to 4-3 against the best teams we'll win the title!
I'm pleased with this signing but what i'm more happy about is just how quick we did it. Shows that we want to reward success and build something stable.

Well, I'm happy for Terry. He helped turn around this franchise and he deserves to be rewarded for it.
I really couldn't fathom people complaining about Stotts being signed to an extension... Or wanting him gone, or wanting to trade Lamarcus. I used to think we had smart fans, what we have are fans that just want constant change.
As I've said before, I like Terry, and I think he's a good coach, but I've felt from the beginning that I'm not sure he's the guy that gets us to the next level. By next level, I'm talking WCF/Finals/Championship. I guess we'll see.
How many coaches have been thought to be the guy to get a team over the hump before they ever won a title?
Im not sure Terry is the guy to win us a title. Same thing with Batum, we'd be more likely to win if LeBron or Durant were our small forward.
NB3 will do a 180 on this at some point, anyhow. I just roll with it these days. Emotional opinions often are easy to reverse.
I might be wrong but isn't Dallas his second head coaching gig? I think his first was in Indy when they had all those knuckleheads. I'm not sure Carlisle is a good comparison because I've always thought very highly of him. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Yeah I just looked it up. Didn't they fire him, bring in Larry Brown, and immediately win the championship? That must have stung.
