[Fox40Kid]

Don't forget this one:

Which head coach is the best manager/motivator of people?
1. Phil Jackson -- 44.0%
2. Gregg Popovich -- 28.0%
3. Doc Rivers -- 12.0%
4. Nate McMillan -- 8.0%
Others receiving votes: Rick Adelman, Jerry Sloan

Jackson did such a great job motivating his team in game 6 of the finals.  He motivated them to lay down while the Celtics ran them over a few times.

I read all the way through it. Besides the deserved accolades for Garnett, the GMs seemed to think that the guys who were among the best in the league were Doc and my boy Rajon. Where's the love for PP and Ray. I mean Allen gets best pure shooter (duh) and Paul gets.... um.... wait, what did Paul get? Oh, right, thanks for the reminder jackson_34, a vote each for clutchness and moving without the ball.

That's all right, I like it when everyone underestimates us. They did it last year (refer to the 07-08 GM predictions) and we showed them what's up didn't we?!

Go C's!!! the road to banner 18 begins in 6 days!

We already know they predicted the Lakers to win it all, but here are some of the more interesting questions. Let us answer them as well:


Who is the best perimeter defender in the NBA?
1. Bruce Bowen -- 44.4%
2. Kobe Bryant -- 25.9%
3. Ron Artest -- 14.8%

My answer: Shane Battier

After last years playoff shut-downs of LBJ & Kobe --- this has GOT to be Paul Pierce.

Not even close, PP did a good job because he had great defense behind him.  Sorry but 2 Playoffs series does not make him the best defensive perimeter player.  No need to be biased.
