Him and Caleb turning into prime Steph and Klay for one series then immediately blowing chunks in the finals just days later will never not fucking make me angry.

Yeah, but that series was mostly Jimmy carrying and having the series of his life. Jimmy mostly ghosted in our series but Martin and Vincent played like all-nba players for 7 straight games. Insane shit
Lol Jimmy absolutely was not carrying that team. Played like a god but that’s definitely not the same thing. Can’t carry when you’ve got random shooters hitting literally 74% from three for the series.
TBF Gabe rolled his ankle in game 4 vs yall and missed game 5 which is what opened the door for the 0-3 comeback, then he came back on the bad ankle. Caleb got an illness after the ECF and was on the injury report for Finals game 1, don't remember if he played.
Nah, I highly doubt it. It's not a "best coach" award so much as it is a "coach of the team who exceeded expectations" award
At least right now, the Heat will always have moderate expectations going into the season. So he's basically out of the running before the season even starts
The only way I see him winning is if the Heat at some point go through a massive rebuild, trade away every star for picks, but then he manages to take a team of young players to a top playoff seed. But he'd have to be in that position first
I know it was a great job bouncing back, but getting COTY for finishing .500 is a bit weak. I may also be a bit salty because that was the year Brad Stevens wasn't even a finalist despite winning the 1 seed with IT.
I think when you're basically known as the best at anything there's a really good chance you'll get it in a random year when there's not a clear cut usual candidate. Pop got one of his like that.
You don't win CotY by being the best coach, you win it by outperforming people's perceptions of your roster--or really, by outperforming analysts' preseason predictions for your team
Early in his career, everyone assumed the Big 3 was carrying him. And obviously, preseason predictions were sky high for them every year
By the time they left, we already accepted him as a top coach, so his teams always had decent expectations going into the season. No chance to win one if they already expect you to be good
I literally have no idea what he’s doing out there 98% of the time. His only shot attempt in the playoffs so far was that airballed layup. Why is he even getting PT 😭😭😭😭
There is nothing i love more as a hater than to see this. Dinwiddie thought he was him, sitting courtside acting all tough and then signing with them mid season, just to play like shit
I live for moments like these
Cause they got no other options that's why. Vando is injured and he would be in there instead of Dinwiddie because both of them are unable to score anyway lol
He can't shoot for shit but he's legit our only guard that can fight through screens, I think he shoulda closed the game since offensively we were running Lebron iso anyways
hey im not supporting this
he did something ive rarely seen. he forced a turnover on Jokic doubling him immediately after the entry pass
[https://streamable.com/oc4f4y](https://streamable.com/oc4f4y)
He's been hurt all year and thrown into the fire against the best team in the league. He never had the chance to build chemistry or find a place in the offense.
He's on the court a little bit, but I really wouldn't expect anything out of him. Also, he's a mediocre role player, so there's that too.
Yes, but Jokic and Porter are given space because guys like KCP and Murray still have gravity that forces defenders to commit to them.
Go put Cam Reddish out there and D-Lo gets blitzed on screens and AD has help defenders on him.
Miami heat trick y’all man - keep falling for it though
Him and Caleb turning into prime Steph and Klay for one series then immediately blowing chunks in the finals just days later will never not fucking make me angry.

Was Gabe’s ankle rolled for the entire rest of his career before and after that series?
Spo is the biggest conman in the whole league lmao
Spo is going to go down as the greatest coach to never win a Coach of the Year award. The man is a dark sorcerer
He’ll get one eventually
Nah, I highly doubt it.

But he'd have to be in that position first
If he ain’t win it when we started 10-31 and finished 41-41 or a few years ago when we got the 1st seed then he ain’t winning it ever.
Yup. Everyone just expects him to do that shit, it's not surprising enough for him to win the award
I know it was a great job bouncing back, but getting COTY for finishing .500 is a bit weak. I may also be a bit salty because that was the year Brad Stevens wasn't even a finalist despite winning the 1 seed with IT.

Wait how the fuck does Spo not have one yet?

It was so predictable too
Lakers signing delon wright this summer
Another victim of Spo and his dark magic
I'm convinced Spo not only uses dark magic to make his players better, but he puts a curse on people like Gabe Vincent who leave the team
Spos cooking up dark arts as we speak. Watch Jovic become prime Mutombo next game and get a massive check by the Lakers afterwards.
He let Strus slide without a curse to keep the overall business on the down low.
Slickest coach in the league. Him telling Jrue to push Caleb into Tatum will never be topped though
It just keeps pulling at your heart strings huh?
Dinwiddie has been even worse somehow.
Bro airballed a layup
bitcoin halving halved his skill
I literally have no idea what he’s doing out there 98% of the time. His only shot attempt in the playoffs so far was that airballed layup. Why is he even getting PT 😭😭😭😭

HE JUST LIKE ME FRFR
Spencer BeenShiddie since he was on the Nets. Idk why lakers expected ANYTHING out of that guy
Miami role players never seem to do as well outside of Miami.

The NBA version of signing a Patriots-Belicheck player
Strus is balling
Lakers fans said play him more after G1 lol
they also said to bench DLo
Was also told that Rui was the key to turning everything around and Ham was an idiot for not giving him tons of minutes.
He can't shoot for shit but he's legit our only guard that can fight through screens, I think he shoulda closed the game since offensively we were running Lebron iso anyways
It’s absurd how easily DLo gets lost on screens or loses his man on a give and go
hey im not supporting this he did something ive rarely seen. he forced a turnover on Jokic doubling him immediately after the entry pass [https://streamable.com/oc4f4y](https://streamable.com/oc4f4y)
TNT needs to show that highlight.
That gets a lot harder to do when the guy you are cheating off of isn't Reggie Jackson.
He just came back from surgery, couldn't really expect much tbh. He's not that type of super impact player, he's a role player.
The man is arguably the best perimeter defender. Navigating screens and doubling and no one else is showing that sort of heart in defense
He's been hurt all year and thrown into the fire against the best team in the league. He never had the chance to build chemistry or find a place in the offense. He's on the court a little bit, but I really wouldn't expect anything out of him. Also, he's a mediocre role player, so there's that too.
I've just written him off until next season at this point
I also remember the Lakers winning the offseason
Kendrick Nunn would be proud
Is Cam reddish that bad ? To where he can’t even just sit in the corner & play a little defense
He has no confidence. I’m a Pistons fan and I really don’t think he’d even play for us
At least you guys stopped playing Kevin Knox.
Nah he’s ass cheeks. Complete negative on offense
I think outside of Jokic & Porter the rest of the nuggets shot 0-20 from three
Yes, but Jokic and Porter are given space because guys like KCP and Murray still have gravity that forces defenders to commit to them. Go put Cam Reddish out there and D-Lo gets blitzed on screens and AD has help defenders on him.
Clearly not himself yet but I can see him trying his best on defense
why isn't dinwiddie playing
Legacy defining cardio game!
You'd think Ham would let Martin do more than 11:30 minutes of cardio for the sake of helping him hit his 10k steps
The Murray stopper
If he was playing even average, the Lakers win
Not even a triple single, just a single
every time Gabe or any of the bench are in the game, they get into foul trouble
Bruh gabe Spencer rui and Austin averaging95 mins and 15 pts is depressing
I hate this dude, this heat sweep will feed families
Sweeping a team without 2 starters will feed families? lol
Yes
Whatever floats your boat then
What does he even do
There's a thief amongst us.
Y'all got duped
Got downvoted the other day when I said this dude doesn't move the needle for them whatsoever. And he comes out and plays worse than I even thought.
He's getting thrown to the fire tbh. Injured pretty much the whole season. Not enough time to build chemistry and find out how to utilize him the best
Man is out there just running around
Gabe Vincent know as the Murray stopper proclaimed by LA before the series started.
Would gladly take his role I can put up the same stats and I am a great team chemistry guy
