Maurice Cheeks was fired

brightlee

another silly movement in NBA today.

Portland fired it's head coach, Maurice Cheeks.
OH man, if he's not in Portland in these few yrs, the team should be struggling about 4 or 5 years ago......

We're missing him in NBA......

He's good coach, I am sure if he's in charge of Toronto, that should be great for him!
(better than Sam Mitchell)

or New York Knicks!

brightlee

he's not that bad if you consider he's a rookie coach

brightlee

it depends what's the CEOs in their heads.
Rick Carlisie was leading Piston to win Central Division (with 2, 52-30 records) in 01-02, 02-03, then he was fired.
Rudy T. didn't get fire in 99-00, even though they got 34-48 in that season

brightlee

yes, I think it's depending on how they will face shareholders and fans,
if you remember, Rudy T. is their heros in Houston, 2nd picks in Houston, he played only one NBA club, Houston.

similar situation for Wes Unseld, His records in Washington in 1990s was horrible, 30-52 in 90-91, 25-57 in 91-92, 22-60 in 92-93, he was still coaching in that 3 yrs, cos he is the hero in Bullets, as he was the Final MVP in 1978, their only championship in NBA history.

brightlee

yes, sport games, in reality, it's politics...!!!

brightlee

to 樂壇渣Fit人
yes, of cos!

to kyleung, would you mind I change a little bit for your sentences?

when you're not good enough to manage and handle the team well, (i.e. good record is not equal too handle the team well, bad record is not equal to the team spirit is bad)
get FIRED

brightlee

he got some bad trades this year....!!
and the major problem for Knicks, is they don't have team spirit now...
if you count for every positions in Knicks, they should be in 4 or 5 the seeds in East.

brightlee

I think you could have shooting first, passing seocnd in PG, for example, Kevin Johnson in Suns before. (career 18 points+ 9 assists+/game)

but on the other hand, KJ did it well to pass the ball in the right man at the right time, so everyone in Suns were happy

But Stephon is not this level of players......
so this the major weakness for him, even though he could give you 8 assists per game

brightlee

by the way, who will be the head coach in Blazers next season?

Fliip Saunders? Phip Jackson? or Isaiah Thomas?!
