No, Vag is too.
Lmao. I am a little bit, I admit to being a little ignorant of some of the advanced stats people are using these days.
Alright 2016 Olympic roster since I was bored at work. Coach K can thank me later:
PG: Rose / Curry / Irving
SG: Harden / YNB
SF: Durant / George (superstar status achieved by 2016 after 2013 title)
PF: Lebron / Melo / actual power forward (Bosh? Kevin Love?)
C: Howard / Hibbert / Davis
Take out one of the point guards if Paul is healthy and willing probably.

Monta Ellis would be great off the bench. the dude can flat out ball and he's a great athlete. You dont build around him tho or make him a primary option, cause then he does suck

Listening to Van Gundy on Lebatard, its crazy how Hibbert is a different person in this series. Insane how much better he is playing. EDIT: OMG Mike Ryan on Crawford LOL. I love hearing Lebatard attacking Heat fans that are blaming the refs.

It was last year though.
True. But they got annihilated swept - no amount of coaching would have changed anything.
And, he said that last year after the playoffs - followed it up this year with a routine Chris Paul first round exit.

What? Switch Pop with VDN that series and Clipps win in 6, maybe 5. Pop straight bodied del negro dude. Give pops this years clippers squad and you really think they are out first round to the grizzlies? Cmon.
those were 4 straight blowouts. The Spurs were just the better team.
You know a situation where switching coaches would have led to a different result? 2011 Finals. Switch Spo and Carlisle and Heat win that in 5..

Well, I guess CP3 is staying in LA and VDN knew he was a deadman walking for a whole season.

Yeah it was four blowouts, doesn't change what I said though. I can't tell if you're being serious or not with the 2011 shit but no, Carlisle does not unfuck Lebrons head.

Many games are blown by a badly drawn up plays. Coaches fuck up close games too.
just generally speaking
because one play by itself never decides a game on its own
Because a team with the Heat's big 3 plus Dwight and Melo wasn't scarier?
in fiba? probably not.

that team, with that exact roster gave Coach K his only loss in international ball.
the kind of ball played in FIBA competition, knock down shooters tend to wreck the most havoc.
You'd have to worry about Curry/Durant/Irving the moment they stepped across half court, especially with Fiba's shorter three point line.
I mean, this year's gold medal game, Spain played a box and 1 defense on Kevin Durant with LBJ and Kobe on the floor.

LeBron, West, and Stephenson were all fined for flopping.
Makes sense. They shoulda got Wade on that leap out of bounds too. I wonder if pressed in the media, Lebron is gonna deny he ever flopped. "look I know what the league said, what they fined me for, but I don't flop. That wasn't a flop, I don't flop it's not part of my game"
Maybe we can go deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole with this

So tonight I want to see Heart and Passion from the Heat.. I want to see the desperation we saw in game 3.

I'd replace Curry with Wall. He would simply dominate games with that level of talent around him and the transition game would blow teams out of the water.
I want to believe.
While it might be true that Del Negro wasn't the ideal coach or a great coach, something about Chris Paul rubs me the wrong way.
You guys complain about flopping and to me there isn't any bigger example of that than him. If you find Wade embarrassing then Paul is an abomination. But now its his commercials, the supposed best PG title, and getting Vinny fired and throwing him under the bus.
EDIT:
Back to the series at hand, we have had LeBron foul out, get a technical, Wade in foul trouble, fines for flopping, and Pacers getting more free throws every game so far. Can we move on from complaining about the refs? Or will tonight be the same shit over and over every time the refs make a bad call in favor of the Heat?
I think the Heat need to come out with some urgency, play uptempo, and try to build a lead right from the start. Can't afford to lose game 5 and go to Indy down 3-2. Hell if they lose tonight, I think they lose the series.

Wall would be terrible in fiba and in the medal rounds, teams were fouling to prevent the fast break. You need players the defense cant cheat on in the half court. players that can attract the attention of two defenders are even better. Curry can do that 30 feet from the hoop, Wall cant.
