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.

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

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.
