FIRE SAM VINCENT

[ohara831]

It is like when we were voting. Give him the season to see how the team responds, then mgmnt makes a decision. Although, I think he honestly has another yr coming without question. He did lose 2 major players before the season started and he is MJ's guy.

Having seen that these guys CAN play well (and boy have they played well lately), I feel pretty comfortable putting most of the blame/credit on Vincent for our failures/successes. Recently, he's been on my good side, and I absolutely support him for the Techs he's earned lately and for how he called out the refs. Protect your players and show them that you want success for them. He's done that lately.

I'm not taking back anything I said about him. It's all still there. He is still a weak coach that actually thinks Jeff McInnis is a starting PG in the NBA.

The last time he was competent was playing with Lebron in 03-04. For a stretch of 30 some games he averaged 7 assists and only 1.8 TO's. He also had somewhat of a capability to score and defend. Too bad it was because Lebron made him better and was only for 30 games.

Vincent must be living in those days...and even then I still thought he sucked.

i hear ya. my, how the streak has changed things.

I really dont think this recent streak of great play has anything to do with Sam Vincent. I think if Sam has done one good thing this year... its getting out of Gerald Wallace's way as he streaks towards stardom.

Any coach who plays Douche more than 10 minutes a game and as anything more than a backup to Felton... is a bad coach. we play 3.5 on 5 basketball night in and night out, (Felton is only half productive as a SG and McInnis does nothing but slowly bring the ball up or turn it over.) and we still win. Imagine if the lineups were better, this team would be hovering around .500.

Sam, get out of the way.

I really don't understand the man love for Mcinnis.

[ohara831]

Let's be fair to the man. He is only a first yr Coach and there is a huge learning curve. He was also dealt the hand of losing 2 of his major contributors before the season started. But, what thing is clear. The guys are playing the games all the way through and never taking time off or quitting a game. There is a hustle now that was missing the first month and a half. Whether MJ's speech or practice session had any impact of not, I do not know. But a Coach takes the blame for losses and should get some of the credit for the wins.

We are only 1.5 games out of 8th and 3 games from 7th. We have a winnable game tonight vs Philly. I know the road trip at the end may kill us, but Sam has them playing good ball and has instilled some inspiration in them to have them playing well the vew weeks.

*I don't understand that crazy 2 PG lineup and would love to have Ray start and Nazr start also. But, crazy as it seems, our winning really started after Coach put Nazr to coming off the bench rather than starting. Just a coincidence? I don't know, but that somehow seems to have created some type of "mental" surge which leads us to playing better. Honestly, it confounds me, but the numbers don't lie. Since the Nazr trade and we stopped starting him and let him come off the bench, we have been winning more and competing better. Even our 2 OT losses the other week.

All I know is he is a first timer, and he has this team playing better and in Playoff contention. In my humble and sometimes controversial opinion, he has earned a break from us and deserves our support.

first timer or not, I'm not supporting anyone, Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach, John Wooden, no one who things Jeff McInnis is a viable starting PG on an NBA team.

plain and freakin simple right there. It doesnt matter if he is a first year coach or an 18 year veteran. If you put Jeff McInnis as the starting point guard ... you dont get any kind of free pass.
