Thoughts on Pacers, Bosh and more


Armstrong: Ideas on Pacers, Bosh and a lot more

Armstrong provides his ideas on the unusual Indian Pacers, a passive Chris Bosh, John Beilein as a head coach candidate, Scott Brooks' huge examination and the breakout chance for Kawai Leonard.

1. Indiana Pacers: Who were those guys on Sunday? Wow. Where you been? Comprehensive and total all-around performance on both sides of the round. Can they sustain this for three even more wins? Not convinced yet however they definitely obtained self-confidence that if they play to the degree of their potential like Sunday, they can go toe-to-toe with Miami.

2. Chris Bosh (Heat): Too typically was passive on Sunday and didn't apply his will. He's a difficult cover on the boundary for David West and Roy Hibbert. Have to appear and play with even more electricity and efficency. When he's making his mid-range jumper in addition to a couple of 3's, the court acquires spaced out and the Heat are tough to quit. Required him engaged defensively and on the boards as well.

3. John Beilein (College of Michigan): I have actually claimed during the best target for GM's trying to find a head coach was Stan Van Gundy. The Pistons made a smart action obtaining him. Now I will follow up once more on what I've shared many times prior to. If you are a GM that's progressive and willing to think outside the box as opposed to working with a retread previous head instructor or some name ex-player, go obtain this man. Pound for pound as great a trainer that's out there today. Some university trains can't or won't make the NBA jump. I have NO doubt that he 'd be an impressive successful stroke for a professional group. He's a dazzling tactician, designer of talent and as imaginative an offending thoughts that you'll discover there today. It will take an owner and GM that have a real sense of the sporting activity but if I were in the shoes of among the 5 existing groups with an opening, I would be attempting to convince him to join my group. Teams spend a fortune in incomes and attempting to establish youthful players yet throw cash away doing the usual, same old. I ensure you that this individual has IT. Makes a lot and actually too much feeling to me.

4. Scott Brooks (Thunder): With Serge Ibaka out for the collection, the head trainer of the Thunder needs to mix/match with his front court rotations and locate a way to obtain Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook precede to make tremendous rating chances yet make sure the round moves with a purpose and not be as well 'ISO' oriented. Balance and correct use are vital below. Major examination of his creativity.

5. Kawai Leonard (Spurs): In 2012's playoffs were an escapement forum for him and that needs to proceed below. Impressive defender who will have his hands complete at his placement and has the shot-making ability on the boundary to impact the collection. He needs to be that consistent gamer with all aspects of his game. Need big-time initiative from a person that could greatly impact the collection.
