Stephen A is a shock jock

Yet he earns millions of dollars just talking about basketball.
While we on this forum with day jobs. Don't think he gives a s**t what anyone thinks of him lmao.

Yes he earns millions off being an entertaining shock jock. He knows he is a shock jock. He plays off it, as does Skip.

 

[Dez!]

Oh one of the best analysts says he wants mark jackson to coach his team but thats none of my business.
Cause you know everyone on this page apparently is a GM in the NBA or a better analyst than stephen a.

Oh sweet baby Jesus.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Indy's first 10 games were against Pistons (x 3), Cavs (x 2), Bulls, Hornets, Nets, Wizards & the Magic.

Jeez life in the East is cushy.

 

[PP34]

What did he change exactly?
They just got better at shooting that was it.
Steve kerr had no coaching experience beforehand just remind yourself about that.

Their entire offence. I have no idea why on earth you think they just got better at shooting.

Watching a 2014 Warriors game under Jackson versus a 2015 game under Kerr shows a night and day difference.

They went from isolation heavy garbage which featured the likes of Jarrett Jack, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes trying to create offence to a motion based offence revolving around constant movement and passing which made the likes of Curry and Thompson incredibly hard to stop.

Kerr also made the tough decision to bench David Lee after he missed some games and Draymond Green was clearly the better player and fit for the team. Other than Curry, Green was probably the biggest catalyst in them becoming so dominant prior to Durant.

This idea constantly perpetuated on the internet that Kerr did nothing and took over a team on the way to success is absolute garbage.

No idea what Kerr’s lack of coaching prior has to do with anything either? He was very successful at the Phoenix Suns as their GM at one stage. He clearly has a good basketball mind.

Was looking at the standings. The top 6 as of now is a lock for the top 6 at the end of the season. Now Indy wouldn't come close to playoffs in the West but they're at least a reasonable enough team. The crazy thing is that two of the others will be in the playoffs, just look at those teams, they're all horrid. At a guess it will be Nets and Detroit. Could very well end up with one of the lowest win totals for a playoff team though.

 

[The King!]

haven't been watching the timberwolves, but keep expecting to see wiggins go to s**t and he doesnt

To be fair to Indy, Dipo is still out as is Turner. Lamb and Sabonis have all missed time too.

I think they’ll improve as the season progresses and finish Top 4.

You’re right about the gulf between East and West though, it’s as big as ever.

Game of the year today for pacific supremacy. Expecting the home team to win. I dont know who will limit Books influence.

I think you like most people did not get my point about kerr.
Yeah you're right that iso ball they played while under jackson didn't let curry lead the league in 3s made...
I believe he is a good coach but not great and not as great as most people make him out to be.
If anyone tries to tell me players in the nba don't make coaches look great don't bother watching basketball again.
Lebron made david blatt and mike brown look half decent.

 

[Memphis]

On another note besides all this
Keen for the suns and lakers match up.

Pistons 3x without Blake + Cavs 2x without Red Mamba just to make it even easier for them

 

[DangerSloane]

Stephen A is a shock jock

And a w***er.

 

[nahnah]

Step out next time Embiid

 

[peternorth]

Benny Simmons is playing and is 0-2 from the line. But has 2 points

 

[danielnajdek]

My god Harris is bricking wide open 3's. Like they aren't even close to going in.

 

[Memphis]

Step out next time Embiid

That D.P.O.Y mentality.

 

[danielnajdek]

Lol Thompson getting mouthy after making another 3.

 

[Memphis]

Nice start by the heat.

 

[nahnah]

TT best center in the East

 

[Memphis]

That philly offence 3-18 from 3PTs lol.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

You have to wonder if Fizdale goes if the Knicks get thumped by Chicago ?

Mind you, it's hard to get an accurate read on the Bulls, so it's just as likely the Knicks win comfortably as well

 

[nahnah]

some real home cooking

 

[danielnajdek]

Ben should have 10 + assists. We are missing wide open 3's with no pressure at all.

 

[danielnajdek]

Now Tobias doesn't even wanna shoot a open 3. Ffs.
