did you actually say 'monkey bitch' on a string? wow....talk about an idiot.
besides, i think avery's record and his appearance in the finals speaks volumes about what kind of coach he is.

Speaking of cheap shots.....
Quote:
Then, with the game still in doubt, Terry was assessed a Flagrant Foul Penalty Two and ejected from the game by Crawford when he inadvertently hit Monta Ellis in the face during a fast-break layup attempt with 3:05 left and the Mavs trailing 103-97.
"He took that hard foul," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "They teach hard fouls here, and I hate to see that. I don't do that, actually."
With Terry and Howard gone, the Mavs were scraping for someone to help Dirk Nowitzki (26 points).
"Jason Terry getting thrown out of the game obviously hurt us, because obviously we can use his offense," Johnson said. "X-rays, were negative on Howard. He'll have an MRI today and will not make the upcoming three-game road trip to the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix and Portland.
|
Fat Bastard goes out of his way to take a dig at Avery.
Nellie doesn't teach hard fouls OR defense. That's why he loses the ones that matter.
F'em.

And Avery wins them? har har. He looked like a fool in the finals last year. Pat Riley made him look like a little kid. He was way in over his head in the finals.

Nellies a failure, Avery made it farther in his first year as a coach than Nelson did his entire time here. He is NOT missed. Period.

Maybe that's because compared to Pat Reilly, he IS a little kid. Pat Reilly is a friggin legend. Avery Johnson was a first year coach.

Apparently the players deserve props for getting by Pop and the spurs, but avery deserves the blame for losing to Riley and the heat.

Oh, no, I'm sure Erick Dampier deserves as great a share of the blame.

I'm pretty sure that Don Nelson would have allowed neither Johnson nor Dampier to suffer that indignity.

Nelson is doing a nice job running that same offense that he had in Dallas (looks a hell of a lot like Phoenix's too). He's got some nice players like Ellis. The only thing I see wrong with his coaching is that his team cant play defense at all and he's playing Baron Davis like he was a 20 year old Kobe. Its ridiculous how fast Davis is going to wear down.
I see the warriors winning 45 games this year and if that gets them to the playoffs, then they will.

It's ridiculous how much you underestimate the athleticism of a world-class athlete.

its ridiculous how much of an antagonist you can be on all levels, day in and day out
And when did Baron Davis become a journeyman? Baron Davis didnt rest the entire game until late in the 4th. ESPN has him at 45 min. Is that what you want for a guy that has missed more games than he's played recently, a guy known for his late-season weardown and injury. As a coach is a win at home against Toronto THAT important that you'd do that?

Hmm...is THAT why stevie had a reputation of wearing down in the playoffs? Nelson DID play his starters too much, always did.

Nelson is a douche. According to reports in a few news sources, he's openly lamenting that he wasnt offered the Kings coaching job-- even as he's taken over as coach of the Warriors.
the guy did wonderful things for the franchise but the guy is a loser.

The Warriors hung 40 in the first quarter, and Davis has already ELEVEN assists. Two highlight-worthy alley-oops, a ton of fast break points, and some terrific rebounding from the big Latvian in the middle. Not to mention this 21-year-old Ellis kid.
Damn, this team is fun to watch.

It certainly doesn't take Don Nelson long to implement his brand of basketball. This Davis cat? Hell, if Nash won two MVP's, this guy could win five!

Don't look now, but the Warriors are 6-3 and Baron Davis might be an MVP candidate.

Wow....so when I post a bunch of times in a row in the Dallas Stars threads, do I look like Chum posting in the Nellie thread over and over again?
I guess we all have our favorites....

Nelson is a douche. You gotta love him for what he did with Dallas and Dirk, but realistically the guy's personality is up there with Ike Thomas and Larry Brown. That BS he pulled on the flagrant was even more reason to dislike him.
He's actually the only reason I want the Warriors to lose-- the warriors are likeable and fun to watch even if they are sloppy and not all that fundamentally sound.

The Warriors are playing sloppy right now and still blowing out good teams. What do you think will happen when the team starts to get it? There has always been a ton of talent on that Warriors roster. Now that they have one of the best coaches in the history of the NBA, watch out.

They'll be good enough to run out of gas in the conference finals just like their predecessors (Pheonix Suns, Nelson's Mavericks). It will take them a couple of years to be that good, though.

Nelson looks like he really has something in Biedrins. A run and gun team with a
seven foot rebounding, shotblocking presense? That's a scary thought.

Davis is an incredible player, but at the current pace, he's going to wear down pretty quick. Looks like Nellie's riding him into the ground like he did all those years with Finley.

Well, I watched most of the Warriors-Kings game last night. It was a fine ballgame and Baron Davis certainly looks like he is rejuvenated and is actually in shape. As far as I know the only physical problems he has ever had was his back. That is really not an injury that can be rested during the game because backs can become stiff. I am not sure though. I think Nellie will reign in his minutes once Richardson comes back to form and Murphy comes back from his injury. This team also seems to pass the ball pretty well and doesn't rely on iso's all of the time. If this team can continually improve throughout the year they are going to make the playoffs and maybe make some noise. The west is going to be real tough this year. There are at least 10 teams with the talent to make the playoffs. I hope the Mavs don't fall back this year because a 50 win team just might not make the playoffs this year. Question: If Baron Davis continues to play like this and the Warriors win 55 games does that mean he'll be the MVP and Nellie will get another coach of the year awards?

I will never boo Nellie. Even when the bay boys won on our banner unveiling night, I never booed Nellie. I'd boo his team, but when the cameras shone on Nelly, I cant help but put a smily smirk on my face. Im proud of that guy! And after reading Cubans planned treatment on Nellie, I horribly realized that Cuban could suck hardcore at times more often than not. Damn, what is effn wrong with Cubes?

you really are a moron if you think that Dirk's twisted ankle years ago is some sort of response to running a guy hard that is plagued with injuries more than anyone in the NBA.
Disanalogy 1) Baron Davis is one step from being Grant Hill, Dirk is generally reliable and doesnt miss a lot of games from his ankles
Disanalogy 2) Dirk's injuries are not related, while Davis often has problems that run him the whole season.
Disanalogy 3) This isnt the playoffs-- we're talking about 2 games against lottery teams here early in the season. Toronto? Sacramento? Gimme a break

It's pretty scary when Baron Davis takes a shot to the ribs and has to leave the game, and Monta Ellis goes off for 31 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds, leading the Warriors to another runaway win.
That's 6-3 for Nellie's Warriors.
System, system, system.
Enjoy it, Bay area fans!
