Around SBN: Two Minutes Of Thunder Basketball Wins The Game

Name That Coach

Name That Coach

 

  • Coveted assistant from a consistently successful program
  • Inflexible offensive system that doesn't fit his personnel
  • Poor game planning/inability to exploit opponents weaknesses
  • Refusal to make adjustments
  • Poor late game management
  • Unearned sense of arrogance with the press
  • Throws his players under the bus when things go bad

 

Am I talking about Kurt Rambis or Brad Childress?  And doesn't the fact that you don't know scare the crap out of you?

Well, Childress got the Vikes to the NFC title game

so if Rambis can do that, I’ll be quite happy.

Our equivalent of the NFC Championship Game...

Is 30 wins. How freaking sad is that?

Can we convince...

Are you suggesting Natalie

is a junk collector? That’s not what I’m hearing.

Let Flynn drive the lane. Please. I wish Jonny Flynn would be like Hakim Warrick. Drive the lane, if the bucket is in sight, try to dunk the basketball. If you drive the lane hard enough, three things are gonna happen, either you charge, which is bad, you draw the foul, possiblity of an and 1, or you have a major posterizing dunk. You’ll can’t tell me Jonny Flynn’s 40+ inch vertical can’t highlight some dunks?

Jonny is very tentative right now. He need to attack to get his confidence back.

Less aggressive with passes. More aggressive with driving.

The same goes for Wes Johnson.

Two young guys

Totally agree

You can tell they want to play the right way. I know it’s going to click for them one day soon.

Rambis isn't arrogant with the press

He has to put up with idiotic questions from hacks. I’m surprised his head doesn’t explode answering the same stupid questions over and over.

Say what you will about Rambis, but let’s not pretend our local press knows crap about hoops.

by Rodman99 on Dec 23, 2010 7:49 AM CST reply actions  

Except for...

“You guys are making way too big a deal” out of our abysmal perimeter D
“That’s your opinion” on whether Love is our best player
etc…

It’s the same idiotic, childish mindgames Chili tried to play. That scares me…

"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"

by mutleyil on Dec 23, 2010 9:47 AM CST up reply actions  

But Chilli is an a**hole, Rambis is not

There are scientific studies that can prove this point. ;)

The Zgoda quote about Love as the best player was such a d*ck line on his part. It was one game and he was fishing for a quote. I support Rambis giving reporters a smack down on lines like that all day long. McHale was great at that too.

All I can say, is put yourself in his shoes… he handles a massive majority of the questions he’s asked with grace and class. It’s a tough gig. It’s a not easy being second guessed moments after every game. I’d probably freak out if I were him.

I read this topic as "Name that Couch"

Needless to say, I was disappointed when I opened the thread.

Classic davenport?

or modern leather?

I have growing concerns that being a fan of this team is making me more of a hipster than I ever intended to be.

I don't care if the couch came from the dumpster

if it came with Betty Page on it

Getting better isn't the same thing as winning, sadly.

Nice Bahlgren1

good chuckle. And your tagline really made me think. I don’t want to start wearing chunky black glasses, grow a beard, and spend hours in a coffee house on my Mac. I really don’t

Is just disinformation…

that is an awesome tagline
