Sixers offseason

[Eagles_Legendz]

and the Pistons players were how old when he took them? Brown can coach very well, its up to the players who want to play "team ball" which is indicative of Brown's style. If you dont want to contribute in that category and play solid defense, Browns philosophy is thrown out the window--which was the case in New York

3 key players that ruin that philosophy:

Jamal Crawford--shoot first, Marbury--shoot first then pass and Ed Curry--no defense. Tack on Francis--it gets worse

The Pistons were on the verge by the time he took over.  The Sixers aren't.  The only young player that Brown relied on was Tayshaun Prince and he had experienced veterans willing to play for him.  Who would he have in Philly?  Iverson?  Webber?  I just don't see it.

I'll just throw this out there to see some opinions:

Assuming the Knicks and Brown part ways, would you want him back as the Sixers coach?

I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a fork.

Definitely. He took the Sixers to the Finals and is the best coach in the league. In a team that plays dreadful defense he'd be a blessing. Won't happen, but I'd take him.

I just threw up all over myself.

Yeah, but you've been doing Jager shots nonstop since 10am.  That could just be coincidence.

Hamilton was the leading scorer with 19
Billups was a 16 and 3 player
Ben wallace was a 6 and 15
Prince didnt even know how to play NBA ball

this team developed a chemisty unlike any other NBA team in a long time because of Brown...bottom line. He implanted the words ball rotation and defense in the minds of these players. these guys were surely not superstars when he got em.

brown would stick a fork in his eye before he ever took over the mess that is the sixers

[hunt]

yep...brown's an a-hole but he's not stupid.

He's not my favorite but name me a better coach.

He and his wife love the area, I'm not saying it will happen just saying its not as far fetched as you make it sound.

[ice grillin you]

yeah he loves the area so much he bolted town for the hell hole that is detroit...brown doesnt love anything but himself...hes a narcissitic lying a-hole

That was a basketball decision and a smart one. He may be all of the above but he's still an excellent coach depite having an awful season in NY.

[ice grillin you]

oh hes a great coach no doubt

If I were Brown, I'd just spend my days counting my piles and piles of money.

Or, I'd go to work as a part-time analyst for ESPN.

Larry Brown's monotone voice as an analyst.

Stuart Scott: So Larry, analyzing this game, how come the Cavaliers couldn't pull it out?

Larry: They didn't have Ty, they didn't have George, they didn't have Theo...

Stu: Uhhh, Larry? They don't play for the Cavaliers.

Larry: Yeaaah....

Larry Brown is an extrovert
