A comment on Nate's coaching?

[3RA1N1AC]

people who like nate have festering infected herpes blisters on their mouths from sucking the puss ridden herpes infested cocks of nate haters

 

[Mediocre Man]

People that don't think Nate is a good coach have venereal warts.

Really only one appropriate, mature response to this?

I'm rubber and you're glue. Everything bounces off me and sticks to you.

Another great option for sure.

When did Nate coach a team out of the first round?

You used to have a Blazer press pass. A blind monkey can probably get one of those if you did.

BRING BACK ADELMAN!

BRING BACK ADELMAN!

There is nothing like a 65 year-old white guy who basically got fired from his last gig to turn the Blazers around!

Rockets' record when Adelman took over team: 52-30
Rockets' record when Adelman got let go: 43-39

Rocket wins by year under Adelman.

Yeah, that's our guy!

well that was kinda obvious...

i think he did rather well with a team where kevin martin was his best player

 

[huevonkiller]

Yeah the Rockets were 4th in offensive rating last year, that's kind of amazing actually.

But they were terrible defensively, 19th in the league. Defense is the most common barometer, along with superstars, for championship winning teams. Adelman seems decent.

 

[andalusian]

To be fair - Nate's team lost Oden for more games than Adelman's Rockets lost Yao - and the Blazers also had to deal with a lot more injuries - starting with Roy and going down the line from there. Heck the Blazers team's consistent players in the last couple of years were LMA and Miller - which are about the same as Scola/Martin value wise from a talent stand point (LMA is a better player than Scola at his best - but he was not that consistent, and Martin is quite possibly a better player than Miller when he is healthy and at his best - but Miller is much more consistent).

It is pretty clear to me that both Nate and Adelman are very good coaches in this league.

Nate won 54 games with a healthy Roy and a bunch of young guys.

Point?

Plus, Nate lost his Ming the next season, and never got him back, yet managed to make the playoffs.

My point is that you showing the wins of the Rockets without contextualizing with Yao renders the win totals insignificant.

adleman is good ≠ nate is bad

they are both allowed to be exactly who they are, good nba coaches

Does it, though? How does making the playoffs with a hobbled Roy and no Oden rate for Nate?

This thread is about Nate. Thanks for going off-topic.

Facts do not matter to PapaG unless they support his point. He will ignore your "facts" so he may continue with the trolling.
