I believe that the Larry Brown ass kissers haven't looked hard enough at his career. This guy wouldn't even be here if he was all that he was supposed to be. Why isn't he still coaching a title contending team? What coach gets chased out of town from a title contender unless there's some real issues with him? LB got too much credit for Detroit and not enough blame for the Knicks. This guy was HORRIBLE!!!! I don't care who we had on this team. It wasn't a worse team than Chaney, Wilkins or Herb had, so what's LB's excuse for such a horible job. He was looking to pass on blame to Isaiah before the season even started. Instead of speaking on the positives of what he had, LB focsed on the negative from the get go and he destroyed the confidence of players like Jamal. It took him all season to get his head back on straight. Was that really necessary?
What about LB's constant flip flops on setting the rotation and then his many calls to start playing the young guys and then not doing it. In all my years i've NEVER seen a worse job of running a team. He alienated most of his players. Even his pet players like AD turned on him. WHY? Cuz he's a phoney. He's been exposed now since the olympics and last years Pistons dropping him like a bad habit. Then he comes here and makes all these claims that he's going to maximize players strengths and minimize their weaknesses, but he does the complete opposite. He further exposes this teams weaknesses and amplifies them. last year this team avg'd only 14 turnovers a game and basically we had a fairly decent offense for a losing team. Itt wasn't that we couldn't score, but that we couldn't defend and we had no size. So it wasn't necessary for LB to change EVERYTHING about the way the team played on offense. His offense stinks and always has. What covers it up is that his teams defend. But you have to have the right players for that and clearly we're not built that way. So why didn't LB adjust so as to help this team win games. Why no zones at least in stretches so that we might slow teams down. As just a change of pace once in a while. LB did NOTHING to help this team to succeed. I'd like someone to explain to me what he did as a coach to help this team win games? I didn't see anything.
No one has responded to this, because its all true.
please explain to me why we see clear growth in 1/2 of the roster...mostly our younger players?
lb has a SHELF life b/c of his grating attitude. his players can only take him for 3-4 years tops. and detroit was already built to win, so it's like they were already in year 2/3 of a typical lb team.
exposing their weaknesses is a good thing. i guess it just depends on how you look at it. frye is a sweet jumpshooter. but defenses adjusted and that shot was tougher to get off. lb wants him to become a post up player and put the ball on the floor more to make frye a better player. he was exposed b/c he's not as polished in that aspect than in jumpshooting. but is that a bad thing?
nate robinson is playing WAY more under control now. was the time spent on inactive sobering for him? or when lb called him out for showboating? it looks like that worked.
it really comes down to expectations. you expected more from this team and are disappointed it didn't happen. and you feel brown is the reason it didn't happen.
i wanted a rebuild. and we're getting it.
those that don't like lb always say it's the players that win games. it's a players league. then why the f ck did we fire lenny last year? no crazy rotations. team was allowed to run pick and roll till they dropped dead. steph had his best statistical season...yet the team went 2-13 in january and he was fired. jamal stubbed a toe and h20 was finished. so injuries effected that team as well but lenny was fired. why?
tim + kurt + nazr IS A BETTER FRONTLINE than SF + ad/frye + curry THIS YEAR. tim was better than any sf we have. kurt was better than AD and frye. and nazr and curry were similar...but nazr is a better defender.
he's a phoney. he's overrated. he got lucky with detroit. listen to you man. i don't agree with him airing all the BS out but where the F CK is isiah telling him to shut up? maybe...just maybe...you think isiah AGREES with lb?!?!?!?
