tom thibodeau makes Nate look like a clown

[ILOVEODEN]

Man it's fun watching a team play REAL team defense. Blazers could of had this guy too but instead we got the defensive genius that is NATE. Complete FRAUD

What an unexpected thread. Great insight! Next, you'll tell us that the Blazers should have drafted Durant over Oden.

What an insightful thread. I didn't realize Coach Thibodeau was interested in coaching here. I thought he was happy at Boston and the Bulls gave him an offer he couldn't refuse. Coaching is an interesting position. I believe they get too much blame for loses and way too much credit for wins. How can guys like Mike Schuler, Sam Mitchell and Avery Johnson receive the Coach of the Year award and Jerry Sloan does not? You have to be in the right situation to make things work. I'm not sure if Nate is the guy to lead us to a title, but you can not knock him for what he has done for this team and all that it has been through. He has gotten the most out of least for years.

 

[KingSpeed]

All those coaches suck, including Sloan.

for short, idiotic threads that don't give the reader any information past the fucking thread title, please post over at oregonlive and get the fuck out of our hair. you're boring.

Wrong, you can knock him. He's not a good coach

So the point of a thread is to give you info? WRONG. Get your own info. LAZY

That's not your writing style. Is Mrs. HCP posting again?

I agree that Nate's reputation as a top defensive coach is fraudulent.

Standing ovation? for telling the truth. Watch out the homers are about to attack

Apparently the point of the thread is so people will pay attention to you. IRRITATING. Maybe if you had something interesting or original to say everyone here wouldn't think SlyPokerDog is an idiot. CAPSLOCK.

I want to keep this thread alive long enough so it can be merged with the next insightful thread from the same poster about the same topic.

 

[Mediocre Man]

You guys are missing the point here. Thibodeau wouldn't be better than Nate here because he was an unproven assistant. In many threads people ask me to give them names of better candidates than Nate since I don't want Nate to coach here. Any assistant I name gets shpt down because they aren't proven. Thibodeau would have been horrible here according to the apologists.

 

[jlprk]

The apologists are right that we should keep Nate forever rather than hire an unproven assistant. See, Nate was blessed to have never been a rookie head coach. He was an NBA head coach the day he was born.

 

[magnifier661]

I like turtles! Basically as insightful as the OP's thread.

I guess Thibodeau must have been taking defensive stupid pills when the Bulls played the Blazers on Feb. 7th this season. His defensive coaching managed to "hold" LaMarcus Aldridge to 42 points and Andre Miller to 27 points.

Keep telling yourself there's a santa clause

 

[e_blazer]

Keep telling yourself there's a santa clause

Uh, that should be "Santa Claus", unless you were referring to the movie...which wouldn't really work in the context of your "witty" remark.

Like many others here, I'm totally ambivalent on Nate McMillan as coach going forward. He's gotten a lot out of the Blazers given some really crappy luck from an injury standpoint. I also think that he's been out-coached in the playoffs.

The reason your inane thread isn't getting any positive feedback isn't that you won't find many takers on the idea that McMillan needs to go, but rather that you don't include anything in the way of a thoughtful discussion starter. So, the Bulls play good defense against the Heat for one game and this is supposed to reflect on Nate McMillan's abilities with the Blazers. You're missing a few (any) key connections from a logic standpoint. Try making some points other than "Nate is a clown" and you might actually get some discussion.

Unless you really don't want any discussion, in which case the clown is you.

Thibodeau was a hot commodity well before he got a head coaching job in Chicago.

What current assistant is on the level that Thibodeau was at while being an assistant at Boston?

None. He was the only one, and since he is gone Nate is the best coach in the world available to the Blazers

As Tince said, Thibodeau was a HOT commodity. The year before he left Boston he was dubbed by the sports media the number one target for a head coaching position from the assistant coach pool. He was just waiting for the right situation.

We could fire him and hope:
1) There is a better coach available
2) We could identify him
3) That coach would want to come to Portland

Certainly is a risk. Considering this roster won't be making it to the conference finals anytime soon, I could justify taking this risk, but I would fully expect the next coach to have a success rate closer to PJ and Mo Cheeks than Dunleavy and Rick

We'll will have Rick Carlisle in two years, don't worry! His wife is from the NW and he loves the Ptown crowd. By then Crash, Batum, Oden, LA and some no name star will be ready for a real offense and some plays that will get us into the finals. It'll be even better if he wins a ring or two with Dallas so we'll get better ref love when he does get here!
