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.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
