NBA 2011-2012 MVP Thread

KD is clearly in the lead now...OKC vs Miami on the 4th will be interesting

[Altimus]

Defeating the Bulls without 2 starters isn't anything to write home about... either way KD is my MVP.

[23]

Its not but his team is not melting right now like Miami is, and you already know they are looking at team success to determine this

Honestly it was LeBron's to lose and he is giving it away...but IMO they're keeping Spo around too long, he needs to be gone

[Altimus]

Yeah but you don't bounce a coach before the Playoffs begin and who comes in? Riles?

[23]

No you don't... I dont think he should've been back this year though

I honestly think they rode the talent thing moreso than just his coaching IMO

Now that doesn't work and he is exposed because if none of those guys are having a hero night chances are slim

...but win or lose he should be gone this summer IMO of course

[Dice]

If Miami doesn't win it this season, expect Riles or some legendary coach(Phil Jackson? Larry Brown?) to step in next year.

[Altimus]

Larry Brown.

[ProfessaPackMan]

Spoelstra will be back next year and at this point I'm willing to wager a small amount of money on that as well. And if they win it all, then he definitely isn't going anywhere.

And going the retread route rarely works and Phil Jackson is the exception, not the rule.

You're gonna fire a coach after making it to the finals?

Right.

What does that mean?

Tons of coaches have made the finals and didnt win

Its not like he's a genius coach who is in desperate demand

Mike Brown made the finals and he was let go wasn't he?

Point is, everyone has a limitation and its looking right now like he has taken the players as far as he can. If you sit there and watch what he does you can see his coaching strategy in disarray when really challenged, unless one of his guys are in hero mode.

I posted some of the stuff he was telling the team when they lost a game last week.
Just wasn't working
