You guys complaining about Del Negro having no coaching experience, do realize that one of the coaches in the NBA Finals had no coaching experience when he got his first job, right?

 

Doc Rivers? Give the Bulls Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Ray and you can bring in one of the janitors to coach.

 

Well you just proved my own point for me. The NBA is more about the players than it is the coach. You have to have talent. By the way, Doc Rivers won Coach of the Year without Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Ray, with no prior experience.

 

He also never got out of the first round until he was handed a ready-made championship roster. I think if you're going to make this argument you should find a better example.

 

I definitely agree the NBA is more about the players than the coach. But we're in a much different situation than the Celtics. And again -- I'm hoping Del Negro succeeds as much as the next guy. The question is whether sitting here, not knowing how anything will turn out, was there really no better option out there than Vinny?

 

 

Better examples huh? How bout Larry Bird, Pat Riley had very very very little experience coaching(like a half season at the most), and Phil Jackson certainly wasnt Mr Experience.

 

Not that I care that much about what you guys are debating, but just to set the record straight, Phil had significantly more experience than Del Negro when he took over in 1989. He had been the head coach of the Albany Patroons for several years (where he won a CBA title) and was on the bench with Collins as an assistant for a few more.

I have a co-worker that is seriously using that game to justify his anger that the Bulls picked Rose over Beasley.

Elton Brand looks like he's about to go to the Sixers. Working out a trade to send Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth to Minnesota to free up cap room.

I guess Chalmers' defense was giving D Rose some problems. The heat got a steal with him in the second round.

again, its the 1st summer league game.

 

I'm basing that on the three years I watched him play in college, too. Thanks for the tip, though.

Beasley had 9 points 7 rebounds today...... on 1-13 shooting and 7 fouls.

 

7 fouls, ha.

 

But seriously, people actually care about Summer League basketball?

just want everyone to remember that i wanted to pick beasley and i got criticized for it.

 

Please be careful while patting yourself on the back ( :wink: ) three months before either player has actually played in a professional game.
