Now to add CP3 also.
nope
nope
nope
nope.
no, none of those 4 are.
Sloan has his problems, but he's a great coach. 2 of those are on rebuilding teams now anyway.
Ha! Riley would never replace Spo with Sloan. That list is a lot longer than that. Thibs and Doc aren't gonna be replaced by Sloan's old ass. When he's not coaching next year, is he still just picking his spots? PEACE.
Thats lovely.
Check $loan$ $tat$.
He's just simply better than those guys. There are some franchises that aren't looking, but if any of those guys heard that their FO had called sloan, they'd be worried.
Particularly Doc & Thibs.

Rick Carlisle is better than Jerry Sloan. C'mon.
He won't be if Sloan coaches him again. Deron isn't about winning any more.
Thibs outcoaches himself by killing his own team before the allstar break and being unable to run a offense.
Doc killed McGrady and allows Rondo to stay acting like a toddler
Carlisle routinely acts like a dope by ruining every single point guard he gets. He got laps run around him in Indy and he did in Dallas too.
Karl got outcoached by Marc Jackson.
Winning a ring or COTY does not make you a good coach. At all.
So what makes jerry sloan better than all those coaches? I'll wait. What do you mean doc killed mcgrady? And LOL at allowing Rondo to act like a toddler...let's forget about deron shall we. Oh guess who got knocked out in the first round by the only number 6 seed to win a championship? I love how you just brushed off carlisle's and doc's ring and ignored the number of times sloan choked. Winning a ring doesn't make you a good coach but it sure as heck differentiates good coaches from great coaches.

nah it just tells you who had more hall of famers on their team.
Carlisle had dirk and who else exactly? But sure it does. Won't blame you for missing that since dirk blind sided yo ass so bad it might have looked like a team full of hall of famers.

Carlisle had Chauncey in Detroit. Not his fault they didn't trade for Sheed till he left.
Not his fault that Ron Artest went into the stands either.
Yeah, but look how many times Sloan failed to chip with Ostertag on the roster. PEACE.
It probably wasnt his fault since he wasnt the coach at that time.
almost as bad as not chipping with a team of prime wade,lebron and bosh. Poor sloan.

Darn, thought this would be closer. I figure the Grizz will adjust and make this a good series.
The Knicks are always the Knicks.

If you don't think Sloan would be better than almost any other coach except Pop, you're delusional. Although it would be a bad idea because it would disrupt team chemistry (and the players love him), I wouldn't be so sad to see Spoelstra go for Sloan or a Riley return. I see Spo every damn weekend at Tarpon Bend and you can tell he's a freakin' jerk.
Miami practiced on the main court today, and I assume they will again before Game1. Spo's already talked about doing stuff differently during this layoff than last series. Hopefully it translates into a faster start. Good to see Bron is trying to get himself psyched up too. PEACE.

The Heat get complacent. It happened against the Bucks and then in game 1 vs the Bulls. After they lost game 1, they turned it on for the next 3 games, then seemed bored after starting off with a 20 point lead in game 5.
Unless the Pacers really push them (which they won't due to their lack of scoring), it might be a pretty boring series.

He was?
He probably had the best team in the NBA that year. Too bad it had about 5 crazy people too many.
WTF has Sloan done that warrants ditching a proven champion in Spo for?
Spo gets a lot of stick because his roster is so good. However, the defense is tits when the guys are locked in. That's coaching. The offense is a thing of beauty, with great ball and player movement. That's coaching. The team adjusts each series, despite facing teams that supposedly have our number in various areas. That's coaching.
I'm not certain what people expect from Spo other than winning games and winning championships. He missed the first year of the Big3, but that was the year everyone knew we'd be most-beatable. He won last year with an unorthodox lineup, and is finding success again with it. At some point, you gotta stop doubting and start accepting that the guy knows what he's doing. It's not like he was garbage before the Big3 either. Not a great offensive coach, but he was still a defensive wiz. Now, he's developed into a great offensive coach too. His efforts in the 2011 offseason have been well-chronicled.
I didn't care much for Spo after Pat retired, but I think he's one of the best coaches in the league. I'd be pretty damn pissed if Pat dropped him for a career loser in Sloan. Sloan is like Adelman. One of these coaches who's never won anything, yet half the armchairs on the internet are enamored with. Like Sloan, Adelman is a career loser too. No thanks. PEACE.

I hope the Spurs make it to the finals. Then at least the Warriors will have lost to the best team in the West.
Can't wait for next season.

Yes actually.

That happened Nov.2004, Larry Brown was coach.

Edit: Fuck you are talking about the Pacers. Pacers suck. I forgot about his years after Detroit and before Dallas.

Nah man nah... she knows sports so she gets a pass but nahhhh we're talking about bikini pictures not being able to relate to someone.
Some pretty shoddy compositing, but nice idea.
Stop acting like you wouldn't hit it.
What did they change from last year? Looks exactly the same.
More current players in there, I think. Some of them that certainly don't belong in this montage. Some that have never even made the playoffs are in this.
you're pretty questionable friend.

The Spurs have an interesting strategy against Memphis. Pop knows that they run their offense inside out so if they can manage to force either Randolph or Gasol to have a bad game they'll likely win. They're going to get extremely limited scoring from players like Prince and even Allen.
