exactly.

You can't make these "my coaching will improve this area" claims(unless that coach is known as an expert in that area) because otherwise we all would and our teams would all be flawless.

let me clarify. even though he never shot them, im going to assume that he could do it at least pretty good.

if not, i'll just hire a shooting coach and he'll be ray allen in no time.

if not, im sure that some crack brained analyst has said at one point in time that he could.

Obv u guys are tryin to make fun of me, what you don't understand is it's A LOT easier to turn a guy into a willing passer than to have him be able to shoot 3's at a good/awesome clip.

Epip is like Cartman from the South Park episode where they're all ninjas.

Why dont we just remove coaching? It isn't to late.

All coaching does is create another way for people to make up **** on how their team will be better.

Plus the elite coaches are so much better than the other ones its unfair.

I really don't care, but I do think it should be taken under consideration.

If we do pick coaches I will surely pick a coach to teach Z to shoot 50 footers at a 60% clip. He hasn't done it, but you can't say he isn't capable of it ldo.

Plus I watched an ESPN classic game where a euro guy hit a 50 footer. This is an obvious sign that Z can hit 50 footers. I also read some articles about him being able to hit 50 footers, but don't ask me for the article, just take my word on it and make it fact.

lol

Also if McHale is this "awful passer" that you guys all seem to think he is, then why are his turnovers pretty low for someone who scores as much as he did?

His assist numbers while not amazing, aren't terrible either for a bigman.

it's not very easy. Just accept the fact you got a ballhog PF but who's damn good at scoring anyway

TSC definitely has the highest rules broken/post ratio

He isnt an awful passer, he DOESN'T PASS. He is a blackhole. You aren't getting credit for him being a good passer, because he isn't one.

WHAT WHAT WHAT!

GOAT=MCHALE, NO DOUBT.

you're obv just skewing what people mean when they criticize McHale's ballhogging ways. I'm not quite sure when that turned into "awful", as in, makes dumb passes and throws them no-look one handed all the time.

Plus, the fact he never passes kind of makes it hard to tell how good his passing actually is. His pass/TO ratio might suck a nut.

But the real point is, he's got an AST% of ~10%, which is very low compared to most elite PFs like Malone, Barkley, Duncan, KG, etc. THey're all in the 16-20% range.

That Lakers team is EXACTLY how I envision my offense running

edit- with Sabonis walking up the court in case we have to settle into the half-court

Also big LOL @ saying Assani's team cannot shoot 3's... DUCY

lol stats.

Passing is for b***hes.

Ya well that's my whole point, no coach ever told them they wanted him to pass more so they didn't, and when someone called him out, he followed it up with a 10 assist game.

He is capable of passing and is a team player, so he will do what he is told, it's not like hes a cancer.

And fwiw it's not like I will have him passing a ton, just to pass more than he did with the Celtics. His obvious first job when he gets the ball is to score.

yeah seriously mchale doesnt need stats. TBH he doesnt need to pass either. he doesnt even need teammates. most automatic 2 points in SPORTS.

ROFL, come on. Just stop defending the point. It's rediculous.

Yes that's my whole point, he isn't an awful passer like some people are. He just wasn't a willing passer because he was never really told/coached to be one. It's a lot easier to make a player become a willing passer (especially if hes a team player/non cancer like McHale) than to have players improve other aspects of their game.

Like I said, I don't expect to turn him into an elite passer or anything, just to pass a little more, that's all.

Please edit your post Epi... too much of that going on as of late.

And that Duncan 3 is so freaking money. That game totally killed all of the hate I had for him.

?

I know thats your point, but it doesn't make it correct. Just like the argument that McHale wasn't a great rebounder because the Celtics had other great rebounders isn't a good point. His rebounding %'s prove this.

Such an amazing game. The rest of the playoffs couldn't top the first game heh. Duncan 100% from downtown, easiest 3 points in sports obv.
