We were up by 2, when he put that line up in and down by 14 by the time he took them out. Absolutely retarded decision to play that line up. You had two guys not in their natural positions, of course there was going to be defensive breakdowns, and then that line up is missing a bunch of core offense as well. And people wonder why LA fans don't like him. It's blatantly stupid decisionmaking in close games on a regular basis. | ||

Like that award has ever meant a damn thing. You know how many times Phil Jackson has won Coach of the Year? Once in 96. He has 11 titles. Jerry Sloan? 0, he led the Jazz to 3 finals (correct me if I'm wrong) and never coached a below 500 season in all his years in Utah. Greg Popovich? Just once in 2002 and he has 4 titles. Mike D'Antoni (lol) won coach of the year in 2004-2005 would you like him coaching your team? Hell even Mike Dunleavy and Byron Scott have won Coach of the Year awards. | ||

I hope SA gets knocked out first round again this year =/ I just can't stand the way Mike Brown coaches. I'm not entirely sure that Mark Jackson would be an upgrade, but I do know that Mike Brown gets far more credibility from that Coach of the Year award than he deserves. The fact he was fired the season after he got it, just explains better than I can what that award is worth. | ||

John Hammond won Exec of the Year once and then duly signed Corey Maggette and Drew Gooden as a present to himself, so I wouldn't put much credence in those awards. That said, I'd take Brown over Jackson any day. | ||

It's Miami's D that Spo should really get a lot of credit for. It's pretty brutal considering their internal protection really isn't that great. Yea I agree Miami isnt really superior to most of the top teams in the half court set, usually their blowouts involve plays in transition from good D and the fact that they have absolute monsters on the floor as far as getting up and down is concerned. They can gamble so much on D and get away with it its ridiculous. As for internal protection, in addition to the trapping rebounding should be great but everytime a shot goes up you have 4 guys hogging the paint. Only true bigmen like Howard and Bynum can cover that effectively. | ||

The award is usually given to coaches who got a mediocre or terrible team to play above their level for a season. That usually involves surprising teams that take them lightly or going all out during the regular season and saving nothing for the playoffs. Those things rarely last, so these "Coach of the Year" winners often get fired a few seasons after expectations catch up to them. | ||

The Sessions/Blake backcourt is a horrible idea, I have idea why Mike Brown does it. Steve Blake is a huge liability on offense and defense. The only reason he should play is because Sessions can't play 48 minutes every game. | ||

Ya I agree, I really don't like Blake backing up Kobe and taking away minutes from G-Lock ever since they got Sessions. G-lock was doing good cosidering he is a rookie, and Blake should stick to what he is best at, backing up a PG. | ||

A lot of the games are on youtube (full game in 720p HD) if you want the vods. You have to know where to search tho. 3 channels consistently upload games : RileySMV , nbaswaggames, kumho4life (altho not always full games). Usually, most of the important matchs are there. | ||

Is it like any other award where its difficult to give it to the same person consecutively and/or repeatedly? Sure. Their choices aren't bad necessarily. I think its more of the people thinking that Coach of the Year (along with every other "of the Year" awards) somehow must extend beyond that particular year either forward (especially) or backwards. | ||

In Mike Brown's case he didn't even deserve it the year he got it, neither did Mike D'Antoni. It was just a side effect of the hype surrounding their respective teams thanks in majority to the star players on said team. | ||
