This is probably one of the more obvious things to notice from the finals and a major understatement but that Spoelstra fella is just a flat out bad NBA coach imo. Beyond all of these high profile players, the coaches have not really been given any light during these finals. Carlisle is just a damn solid guy to have courtside.

And something I noticed was that when you get to hear in on them during TOs, Spoelstra just says the most damn generic stuff about the game. Its like he's a fan watching them that occasionally tells them what they need to do & not how they need to do it.

"We need rebounds...get rebounds" "We need to score" "Our defense needs to play better"

He says need so damn much...he needs to leave

one of these days, lebron's coaches will learn to stop choking away 4th quarters.

but in all seriousness, carlisle is a good coach... he knew how to get the most out of his guys this series and deserves props for it. i remember not long ago some were uncertain of his future a bit, heh.

in his defense, having seen a million and a half of TnT's little coach snippits during games, I've heard jackson and rivers say the same thing... hell I'm pretty sure against the cavs last year they even had one of those clips with rivers saying "rebounds, it all comes down to rebounds, we need to rebound the ball"

but really... his days are numbered. if you're given 2 of the 5 best players in the game and you don't win a championship, your days will be numbered, no matter whose fault it really is.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
