Yeah, that mean ol' Larry Brown just ruined your team, didn't he?

Bench
Yes.
Couldda been a repete. Instead he ignored the bench and killed the starters in the process. Not to mention being a distraction and a member of the OSCL, a fundimentally flawed group of coaches.
Rick didn't have Sheed or Mike James.
But my post was not about Larry. It was about Rick. Rick is freggin awesome. I will follow his career for a long long time. He is Coach as far as I am concerned.

And, if Dumars had kept Carlisle instead of Brown, there wouldn't have been a title to repeat in the first place.
Mike James?
Mike James?
It has nothing to do with "believing the hype," so much as it is my own personal commentary on how I essentially think that it's sort of ****ed up that somebody thinks that a coach who led their team to a championship also "ruined" them in two years, especially seeing as how they made two consecutive trips to the Finals in both of those years. They didn't look "ruined" to me.
Obviously, when your team gets to Game 7 of the Finals, they "could have" won. I don't have any emotional interest in the Detroit Pistons, and I don't have an axe to grind with respect to Larry Brown, like you do, so I'm not prepared to say that it's his fault that they didn't win.
I suppose that I don't by into that "players win, coaches lose" paradigm; never have, and never will. The Pistons didn't win the Championship in 2004 "in spite of" Larry Brown, and they didn't get back to the Finals in 2005 "in spite of" him, either.

Well, so far, they both stink; the HOU/CLE game was gawdawful, and the IND/GSW game isn't shaping up any better.
Well, I don't dig the Pacers or Diogu, and the first three quarters of this game were, as the saying goes, two hours of my life that I'll never get back.Kings113 said:Ha, not if you dig the Pacers and Diogu.
