Anthony Davis might sit the all star game due to the shoulder injury.

 

[Bear06]

This is a little bit late but Coach Popovich won his 1,000th regular-season game yesterday against the Pacers. Second best NBA coach of all time (behind Phil Jackson) IMO.

Pat Riley says hello

Pat Riley says hello

Hi Pat. How you doing?

Anthony Davis out for the all star game, Dirk Nowitzki is taking his spot.

I thought Conley, Randolph, and Ellis were more deserving.

I think Bledsoe might've deserved it more. But in my opinion Dirk is still the best player on the Mavs. Hard to put any of those guys above Dirk

Pat Riley says hello

No way is Riley even close to the greatest coach of all time.

I'd put him in the Top 5.

Hell of a coach. Remarkable comeback from cancer. A few yers back he looked like he was done.

Why?

I'd put him in the Top 5.

**** him. He sucks. even his hair sucks. Top 5? Now that is fucking funny.

 

[Scoot26]

Uh oh.

 

[clonetrooper264]

Uh oh.

Suck it Cleveland :elephant:

You don't think Pat Riley is in the Top 5 for coaches all time?

 

[Scoot26]

Suck it Cleveland :elephant:

The 06-07 Spurs are the last team to not be .700 at All-Star Break.. They also played LeBron's Cavs that year (who were also not .700 at the All-STar break). I believe the 2010 Celtics are the last Finals team to not by .700 at the All-Star Break.

 

[FirstTimer]

Why?

Because Pop, Jackson, and Auerbach are WELL beyond him. Riley might be in the top 5, but IMO he has zero argument for GOAT.

 

[Crystallas]

IMO.
1a/1b. Pop/Phil
3 Auerbach
4a/4b. Nelson/Wilkins
6 Riley

Nelson and Wilkins did more with less, and get overlooked a lot. IMO, give either the stars to build around that the other coaches had, and they could have faired just as well, or better.
