Clueless Coaches Abound In The NBA: Paul Westphal, Jim O'Brien, Don Nelson, Eddie Jordan & Mike D'Antoni
Sacramento Kings: 18-39
New York Knicks: 19-37
Golden State Warriors: 16-40
Indiana Pacers: 19-37
Philadelphia 76ers: 22-34
The combined record of these five NBA teams is 94-187. This equates to a winning percentage of .334. One common denominator: the coaches of these teams jerk their players around and are very inconsistent.
After a promising start to the season, the Sacramento Kings have had an abysmal record since the first of the year. Last night, the Kings plunged further into the abyss by losing to the lowly Detroit Pistons. Perhaps the absence of center Spencer Hawes had something to do with yet another close loss. Head coach Paul Westphal deactivated a completely healthy Hawes after reading the following comments from his promising young center earlier in the day:
"All year we've kind of been dealing with that," he said. "When you think you have kind of gotten over that hump, it comes back up again. That's the philosophy, so you've just got to deal with it.
"Everyone up and down the roster has had a taste of that, so everyone can relate. I think it's kind of tough, the not-knowing part on a game-to-game basis, to get in that rhythm. But that's the way it's going and there's not a whole lot you can do about it."
After the game ended, here is what Westphal had to say:
"I saw where he's having a hard time understanding his role," said Sacramento coach Paul Westphal. "He should understand it (after) tonight."
Well, I just have one thing to say to Westphal: You sir, are a clueless dick and you deserve to keep losing.
Listen to what Westphal says about the importance of consistency in the above Kings.com interview. Obviously, Westy doesn't practice what he preaches. Don Nelson, Mike D'Antoni, Jim O'Brien and Eddie Jordan have also had similar consistency issues this season (and in prior seasons as well). Don't believe me? Just ask Anthony Randolph, Nate Robinson, Anthony Morrow, Al Harrington, T.J. Ford, Roy Hibbert, Dahntay Jones, Thaddeus Young, Lou Williams, Samuel Dalembert and a dozen other guys.
Until these five head coaches get a clue and stop jerking their players around the losses will continue to accumulate. That is an absolute certainty. I truly feel sorry for all the die hard fans out there who have to put up with this nonsense year after year. What a travesty.

My computer decided to kick off the end of the year by picking up something that is making it act whacky. My AV (McAfee) is logging and blocking something called winupdate86 from creating files. Now it seems that every 20 minutes there is a pop up that states that Windows will download a anti spyware program. This is the first time that this has happened to me, so I don't know how to handle it. I don't even know if this is spyware, malware, adware or trojan. Even my AV is logging all this it is still does not seem to see this as a problem. So if you could help by answering some questions I would greatly appreciate it. 1. My computer has two hard drives. The AV is logging and blocking files in the first hard drive. Is the second hard drive infected? 2. What free programs are out there to help remove this from my computer? 3. My friend had an executable file that kept trying to log onto the internet. He fixed it by changing the .exe in the file to a .txt. If I know what files are causing the problem can I do the same thing, without harming my computer? 4. Can I take both hard drives, place them in external hard drive enclosures and have a friend with a clean computer scan them to find and remove the problem? 5. Could AVG be downloaded onto a thumb drive and then used to scan my computer? 6. Would it be possible to move files from the second hard drive to an external hard drive without infecting anything? 7. All my friends have Vista or Windows 7. I used Windows XP. If they decided to scan my computer would this cause a conflict with my drives. That is it for now. I am kind paranoid about downloading and installing anything right now. If you can answer all the questions and give me any direction I would greatly appreciate it. Please bear in mind that I am not that very computer saavy. Thanks and have a Happy New Year unlock iphone
