seminoles1 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 3 hours ago, J-ALL-DAY said: Bickering match? He was going around asking players one by one if they felt they could win here. And Gasol trying to be a smart alack made a slick comment towards Fizdale. Gasol is the one that started the "bickering match." So let me ask you the same question I asked Sanchez, how would you have responded if you were Fizdale after Gasol made that comment? It doesn't matter if a player started it. He escalated the situation. I'd tell him we have a meeting at 8:00 AM the next day to talk about this in private and then move on to the next player. Responding the way he did is poor leadership, just like Gasol's response in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Fellow coaches don't like the hype surrounding this youngster who is coaching circles around them. My COTY choices were McMillan/Casey anyways, so not crazy for Stevens to not get a vote. They were the #1 seed the prior year and did about the same this season. Obviously he had to deal with Hayward's injury, and then Kyrie's injury. Little debate he is not the best or the second best coach in the league. But I could see why he didn't get a vote. I'm sure he will get some votes from the real COTY voting from the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mse326 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That is just dumb. Personally he is my COTY. You can't compare it to last season's results since he has basically a completely new team. And if we want to try to divorce player acquisition as a FO job not a coaching job we can see that in the improvement of Brown and how well he was able to integrate Tatum into the league immediately. Still think if you just said best coach I'd go Pop but Stevens is damn close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a season where Snyder, Brown, Pop, Stevens, Casey all had legit cases for COTY him getting a vote for leading a mediocre squad to a mediocre season is pretty confounding.

Talent wise they weren't much off from last year even with Hayward's injury. So it is easy to see why he won't get voted COTY. Casey on paper did a more impressive job as well as McMillan who no one expected would make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 A side note on Boston. I am just wondering if Kyrie would had not gotten injured/missed time, would his presence have stunted the growth of Rozier, Tatum and Brown?? I think yes. No way Rozier shows how good he is, playing off the bench in sporadic minutes. No way Tatum gets this many shots. same for Brown. Kyrie getting hurt = BIG blessing in disguise.

mm6492 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Just to make sure I'm correct - Casey basically got COY because he realized he was a bad coach before and did stuff people were telling him to do for the past 2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
