Stay as Long as You Like

You may think you've seen this picture before, but this scene was actually recreated this morning when the AP reported:

Flip Saunders will be back as coach of the Detroit Pistons next season, an NBA official with knowledge of the team's plans said Monday night.

"The Pistons are bringing Flip back!! There's still one coach in the conference who Mike Brown can outcoach!!" Two years in a row Mike has gotten over on Flip, which is amazing considering our friend Liff is a better tactician than Mike Brown. Run the random offense, Mike, that stuff is gold.

Joe Dumars should expect a signed thank you note and will get a ring if the Cavs bring one home in the Flip Saunders era, as a tribute to his contribution to the Cavs' success. Good luck getting the team to play for him after they blamed the loss to the Cavs squarely on him--feel bad for Flip, though, he's about as guilty as OJ.

Why would the Cavs not hire an offensive minded assistant head coach? Are they too afriad to kill Mike Brown's confidence. I mean there is no way that the best team in the east (and yes the best team, thanks for the effort though Chauncey) can go on with any consistency if the only way they score is if LeBron explodes. Is this not something that happens in the NBA? Couldn't one of the 30 coach's on the bench be a guy who has an idea about offense?

Just a thought.

That's crazy talk. You're not down with the "random offense"?
