Magic coached for 16 games posting a 5-11 record....before deciding he didnt wanna do it anymore.....


Im just saying....not that coaching matters in WIS, but there are better options out there.....

I picked Dunleavy. Big whoop. Coaching doesn't matter.

Also, I forgot to do Jigga's lineup and now I'm going to bed. Anyone wanna volunteer?

I wouldn't set minutes in stone, obviously this is about the starters who would get the bulk of the minutes. I would lean on inside out game and likely have Westphal play a lot with the 2s who are a more defensive group since he's a great scorer, Blackman was a good scorer as well.
Basically this team has roles: Kidd runs it through Moses, whoever is at PF is an all time rebounder and good passer. I have excellent outside shooters on the wings to hit shots after Malone is doubled. As a team I think this functions better than 5 all time scorers who need the ball to be succesful, and the basketball IQ is off the charts.

Here's the years

Rockets (TX9R)

PG- Jason Kidd 99-00 14ppg 10apg 7rpg
SG- Paul Westphal 78-79 24ppg 6.5apg 1.4spg

PF- Dave Cowens 75-76 19ppg 16rpg 4apg
C- Moses Malone 81-82 31ppg 15rpg 1.5bpg
Bench- Horace Grant 93-94 15ppg 11rpg 3.5apg
Bench- Rolando Blackman 85-86 21ppg 3apg shot 51%
Bench- Norm Van Lier 70-71 16ppg 10apg
Bench- Otis Thorpe 87-88 21ppg 10rpg
Bench- Benoit Benjamin 90-91 14ppg 10rpg 2bpg
Bench- Jo Jo White 71-72 23ppg 5.6apg 5rpg
Bench- Sam Bowie 89-90 15ppg 10rpg 1.8bpg

Bench- Robert Reid 80-80 16ppg 4apg 7rpg 2spg

I think its hilarious how serious you are taking this Ampy. First you get upset with Crazy for questioning your lineup. Any sane person by the way would question having Steve Nash being on the bench more than he played.

Can you post a post without condescending someone? The reason I chose to put Nash on the bench was because of his paltry defensive rating. Whatifsports gives Nash a 50 for defensive and Walker a 95. I'm playing the game, Johnny. Furthermore, Whatifsports values Walker at 7.1 million salary instead of Nash's 6.2 mil. The only reason I switched was after running simulations I found I needed more of an uptempo lift with Nash and not so many highly rated defensive players on the floor at one time.

Regarding the Magic thing, I just thought it was rather "silly" and arbitrary that I couldn't have him as a coach. I was just questioning the logic of it. This is a position that has absolutely no meaning in regards to this league. I didn't get "my panties in a bunch" until you rode in on your noble stead and continued your condescending and mocking ways.

lol let's all take this down a notch....

Really. The Suns version of Jason Kidd isntead of the MVP-worthy Nets version?

Ya. This guy is just being ridiculous. Talk about not being able to take some ribbing or being sensitive to someone questioning his lineup. Hell.. think about all the abuse I have taken in here for drafting slow white guys! LOL

Seriously, I didnt know there was money for first place. My goal for my coach was to take Red Auerbach so I can light up a cigar in his memory if and when my team ever wins a game.

There are 8 left

You're being condescending about something that doesn't matter at all, John. It doesn't come across as playful. Saying that someone is "confused" or "this guys is hilarious" is different than people giving you crap about drafting white guys.

The coach doesn't matter AT ALL. I have no idea why any of you cared who he or anyone else has as their coach. I thought it was pretty obvious that he was being ironic when he chose Magic freaking Johnson as his coach. Maybe he should have picked Kermit the Frog instead.
