Mike Brown to be Named NBA Coach of the Year!

According to the great Cavaliers beat reporter Brian Windhorst, Cavs Coach Mike Brown will be named NBA Coach of the Year. The team has called a 1:30 press conference but haven't said why.

According to Windhorst:

The league and team have refused to confirm the announcement but several sources have indicated Brown has won the honor.

If this is indeed true, nobody is more deserving. Brown's team finished the season with a league-best 66 wins, the best in franchise history. Not only was his team an offensive juggernaut (100.3 ppg), but they led the league in defense as well (91.4 ppg). On top off all of his coaching acumen, the award couldn't have been given to a nicer guy. The affable head man is loved by his players, the fans, and the media.

Brown's Cavaliers are 15 wins away from their real goal, the NBA Championship.

Rick Adelman was the runner-up?

Wow- I thought the coaches in Denver, Miami, or Atlanta would have been runner-up to Mike Brown.

Which should tell you how ridiculous this is...that Stan Van Gundy not even come in the top 2 or that Spolestra not be considered after winning only 15 games last year is stupid and lacks credibility. Mike Brown did an EXCELLENT job, but he had a stacked team and SHOULD have done as good if not BETTER than last years Cavs team.

Was he the best coach this year...maybe, maybe not...BUT not NO WHERE near a landslide.

This is the results of the having the best player in the league and the marketing of the best player in the NBA......Paul is absolutely right.

Did he?

We won 21 MORE games this year than last!!!!!!!!!!

By all accounts, the coach coached better and the players played better this year. It's in the numbers!

He had better personnel than last year. Every time he had an injury, he had someone to step up....and this year they had plenty. IF he would have had as many injuries last year as they did this year....if I am not mistaken, last years team would have have .500 at best.....

We have 1 different player this year than last year. Mo Williams. Everyone else is the same. And don't tell me you knew Mo was going to come in and make such a difference that he did. No one outside of Milwaukee ever knew about this kid.

You apparently pay no attention to the NBA outside of your Cavs! The Heat had him just about signed the year before as a restricted free agent....but he chose to stay in Milwaukee....there were apprently 10-12 teams after this kid for the last 2 years.....he IS that good. And not to mention the lack of good quality point guards in the league, he was sought after highly!

I was being dramatic, but what I meant was, Mo wasn't recognized around the league the way he is now. He's never made the All-Star game before this year. His stat line is at the highest point in his career now. All of this of course is because of the system he's instilled in and because LeBron makes everyone around him better.

Believe me....you do NOT have to be an ALL-STAR to be recognized...

When he chose Milwaukee or Miami because they were the two teams he chose as his final 2....there were ATLEAST 10-12 after him including YOUR Cavs. THAT was the talk all off season here in Miami.

An Mo stats are HUGE because of Lebron....NOT the system. IF the Cavs did not have Lebron....his stats would be the same as Milwaukee.

But, I think George Karl should of won it.

This is a good omen for the Cavs.

The last four years, teams that played a playoff game that followed their coach accepting the 'Coach of the Year Award' won.

Thank you.

This season has been a historic one. The award is noteworthy and appropriate.

We won the most games in franchise history. We finished with the best record in the NBA. We have one of the best offenses and the best defenses in the entire league (according to points per game and points against). It's only appropriate that Coach Brown was recognized.

It turns out I was justified in my suspicion.

Gavin Newsom somehow authorized the temporary move of the distribution date of the Winter blend to September 28th.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Since it was already "paid" for, I spent the two hours of my time watching the John Cena action movie on Apple TV, "Matchbox The Movie" even though the reviews were brutal. It was better than I expected, so I didn't feel like I had wasted an afternoon watching it. But it felt like another "Reacher"/"Neghley"/"Mission: Impossible"/"Fast & Furious" crash and blow stuff up with lots of automatic gunfire mixed in movie featuring covert CIA operatives.

I don't think we'll get a follow-up movie from this. I expect Mattel will have other toy lines to exploit.

PISTONS and THUNDER are finally testing on the stream server. PISTONS is showing the Ion/Scripps Sports promo loop filler that their NHL and WNBA feeds have, THUNDER has a "You are watching Thunder+" slate

The Clippers still haven't officially announced their TV plans beyond 10 simulcasts on KTLA, but the NBA's FAQ for ClipperVision is now live. The CLIPPERS feed is currently showing a loop of their Hawaii preseason game.

The Heat still haven't announced their West Palm Beach or Fort Myers affiliates. Since WPLG is streaming the games for free via their app, I doubt we'll be seeing the return of WPLG on stream.

So far nothing testing for the Bucks, Magic, Hawks or Hornets.

West Palm Beach is getting it on WTCN-CD/43 MNT. Still nothing for Fort Myers

Also, the Thunder's deal for KSBI/52 OKC and KQCW/19 Tulsa will be via a special cable and DIRECTV only feed of those stations. OTA viewers and Dish customers will be limited to 10 games.

Yes the Cowboys owner needs to fire the general manager (himself), co-owner, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Executive Vice President, Director of Player Personnel, and President of AT&T Stadium (his son) and then he should jump off of a cliff. Only then can they recover.

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.
