    You acting like 8 years ain't a long time.

    Now resorting to "I bet"s .... and other hypothesis and guesses...

    Im arguing logically with facts, statistics and history.

    Let me see

    Thibs been there 3 years

    1st year - leagues best record and top notch defense lost in the conference finals

    2nd year - number 1 seed in the East top notch defense. Rose tears ACL first round.

    3rd year - Gets to the playoffs without his best player. Top notch defense and up 2-1 I'm the Nets

    He got these ? balling with Nate as their best scorer. That team is not great but his coaching got them balling with Rose out.

    His defensive schemes is top notch.

    ? your stipulations. Three outta the four played way more than 9 games together, and you were ? and moaning about other coaches with 3 HoF players. So my statement still ? on your incredibly ridiculous theory.

    fact is NO coach has had 3 HOF and not won a ring, the fact that you have to include D'antoni proves my point was valid, there been hundreds of coaches in nba history, and your rebuttal is from 2013 LOL.

    you never mentioned how long they had the players, yet you tryna to add that now.

    Lol @ you steadily increasing your flawed criteria after continually being sonned.

    First it was "no coach ever had 3 HOF and didnt win"

    Then it was "No coach had 3 HOF that were HOF before they came to the team and didnt win"

    Now its "No coach had 3 HOF that were HOF before they came to the team AND played more than a year together and didnt win"

    LMAO

    You making yourself look dumber with each post that I continue to refute. Give it a rest you dont have the intelligence to debate with me you speck of a ? .

    dawg we had guys like Ryan Gomes, Brian Scalebrine, Telfair, nd Brandon Hunter gettin rotation minutes those teams lacked talent. before da Ray Allen nd KG trade Danny Ainge was one of da WOAT GM's plus Chris Wallace made ? decisions in da front office too. Doc is a good coach slightly overrated but u actin like he's a product of da big 3 which is ridiculous

    this made me think about mike brown and how he gets no love but pretty much has the same success Thibs has as a head coach not to mention at this point he is the only coach other than phil jackson with more than 5 years experience to make the playoffs every year he was head coach

    Hell no...


    He's perhaps the most unluckiest coach ever... He LITERALLY has had a big injury every year since winning a title....



    2008 - Won title
    2009 - loss KG
    2010 - Loss perkins in game 7 of finals (though I will not use this as a BIG excuse, it happened)
    2011 - Rondo dislocated his Arm
    2012 - Loss Jeff Green ... also, Lost to the heat in 7 games, but honestly should have closed it out at home.... the celtics did not come to play at home in game 6... I put that on his veteran players, not him...
    2013 - lost Rondo and Ray Allen (Allen not an injury, but situation was mismanaged by GM)



    Literally every year, injuries injuries injuries.... If it wasn't for injuries, Doc would have 2 rings right now AT LEAST, and going on a 3rd or 4th this year...

    Who's better... Big 3 or:


    Jordan / pippen / rodman (or grant)?
    Kobe / Shaq?
    Kareem / Magic / Worthy?
    Robinson / Duncan / Elliot... Or Duncan / Parker / Ginobli?


    The only one debatable is duncan / parker / ginobli... All other multi win / championship coaches had players BETTER than the big 3... So that would pretty much make every coach in history overrated.....


    Were you born an idiot or did it take years of hard work?
