  • Wonder if Phil would have gotten canned if he didn't have Michael carrying the Bulls, or Kobe/Shaq carrying the Lakers? Triangle is all the guy knows and never adjusts from it. Yet somehow, someway he managed to be recognized as the greatest basketball coach for the duration of his coaching career and often got the better of Pop. It's like talent really does trump all.

      Seems like Phil's greatest strength was managing egos. Getting guys to buy in for the greater good.

      And maybe that's where Casey's strength lies to. *shrug*

        Basically, though even the Zen Master couldn't keep Shaq and Kobe together.

        I'd take Pop or Carlisle over Phil. Give those guys MJ, Pippen, Kobe, and Shaq and they also win fistfuls of rings, without a doubt.

          Absolutely, as would any number of coaches, Casey included. Don't need to adjust when everyone is adjusting to you.

          • Toronto's DRTG is actually okay in clutch games (5 pts or less in final 5 minutes) at #9, it's their #22 ranked ORTG that's killing them, leading to a 16-21 record in clutch games (http://stats.nba.com/teams/clutch-ad..._RATING&dir=-1).

            FWIW if they were even at their average W/L% from the past three years (.614) in clutch games, they'd be 23-14 in those 37 games instead of 16-21 and those extra 7 wins would put them #1 in the east right now.

              Phil is starting to look Homer Simpsonish. His twitter doesn't seem 'zen like' 'mysterious' 'deep or spiritual' it seems to be 5th grade reading level and lucky to be employed. Feuding with employees and refusing to be on the same coast as the team was absurd.

                Triangle wasn't Phils. Was Winters. Believe he had him in LA too. Requires having 2 of the best players in the world on one team to pull it off. Luckily for Phil had that in both cities. He's probably be able to win with the Warriors too.

                  You may be stretching. D.C. Needs to win a ring as a head coach first. To his credit he has one ring as an assistant with Dallas.

                        Just close your eyes during the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter and everything will be fine.

                          Second round exit = bye bye too unless we're playing the Cavs.

                          • Not just Casey on the hot seat, this is as good of a supporting cast as you could expect to give your two All-Stars.

                              BY playing the Lebrons in the Eastern Conference Final?

                              • Love the new found roster flexibility, but I don't trust that Casey will be able to settle on a 8-9 man rotation very quickly. I can see him "tinkering" right up to that final game of the season vs. Cavs.

                                Ideally, we have 9 players who know exactly what their role is, and how much they'll play, well before that final game.
