Clyde & The Pearl
Starter
Time to take start taking off the gloves, and tearing down the dogma that's hit KO, and is being passing around like scientific fact, like a bong loaded with oregano.
This will be for the ultimate good of those who can go back to being level headed, clear thinkers on this issue...before that ship totally ends up sinking into abject foolishness and disgrace. :smoking:
Truthfully, only a KO poster having already drank from the kool-aid, could have the balls to front on hating MDA for,
taking a RAW, UNPROVEN point guard...that NOBODY in the league has EVER legitimately talked about or wanted...who was recently DROPPED and not even held onto a team's D league,
who joined us LATE into the season...of 20 games (lol)....
then STARTS....SHORTLY after aforesaid player joins the team...
and BEASTS....
which, idk, maybe is in rhythm with every actual professional basketball analyst knowing MDA's excellent history with PGs,
and which any current NBA fan should see if they remove their blinders,
Hello, Felton
Hello, borderline all-star to lock-HOF PG Steve Nash.
Personally, I can't get too juiced up about this -- as this doesn't suddenly make MDA legit in any way, it's just one example of another obvious slice of reality that affirms his place as a leading NBA coach and basketball mind.
Which is why the second we signed Lin I predicted having a strong feeling he would be quality, because MDA is so good at coaching up players, especially Point Guards, especially PGs who possess prototypical PG-type skills and are smart and hard working.
Lin is an extension of the same insanity so many of you have applied with:
Mozgov
Jorts
Shumpert
Just to name a few.
Please realize, that outside this bubble that has been created here regarding MDA, were saying foolish -- deeply foolish things -- and having them be treated as scientific fact, unquestioned......you would be laughed at.
The success each of those players has had under MDA, is an unquestionable reflection of MDA's excellence at milking the most out of players.
If *ANY* other team had such players have the results these players have had for us, relative to the players' expectations and NBA outlook....the fans would be shitting them ourselves out of happiness, declaring it a virtual miracle.
Please know, this is (another) clear sign of the blinders so many now have on for MDA.
Your arguments and parroted statements, as I have plainly proven in various ways, are simply put: deeply flawed, in critical, proven ways.
In theory, even if MDA was "a horrible coach" -- which any objective mind would bet against, simply by looking at how flawed the arguments of the people against him fundamentally are: 99% of you would have still been saying deeply incorrect things, in coming to your conclusion.
The fact you also said he was a bad coach wouldn't reflect you actually being astute or correct, but simply lucky and on the right side of randomness and whim.
But MDA isn't "a horrible coach". And I have the pleasure of knowing this by being an objective mind and a clear-headed student of the NBA and sports.
:beer:
I was going to bed and then I saw this and couldnt let it go. Does MDA have your family captive or something? This drivel is neither objective or factual. Here are some facts for you.
1) MDA has lead a team with two perennial allstars and arguably a top 3 center in the league to a abysmal 10-15 record. Not Good.
2) MDA the offensive genius has a team that has scored 100 pts in 8 games out of 25, 5 times in wins and 3 against the Bobcats and Pistons. Not good.
3) My fav- MDA has turned a 6 10 275 pd rookie into a 3 pt specialist. This player when interviewed said he'd love to do the dirty work. Rebound, play physical, etc etc. Not Good.
4) MDA has not adjusted to his roster. Which is why we're 10-15. A tweak here and adjustment there and the record could be reversed. Not Good.
5) MDA does not use what's arguably the best front court in the NBA for post play. Not Good.
6) MDA plays his players too many minutes, which leads to injuries and poor play. Not Good.
7) MDA has not and I repeat HAS NOT WON A THING IN THE NBA. At the rate he's going he never will.
8) MDA is trying to reinvent the wheel. His roster is full of bigs and he plays outside. Any coach in his right mind would pound the paint for easy baskets with this front line and take an occasional three. Its what basketball is and always will be. Most 7th graders know that height matters in this game.
I could go on and on, but I'm getting tired now. Chew on all these facts and get back to us.
