The Los Angeles Clippers are in a familiar place, cellar dwellers in the NBA's Pacific Division at 0-4, and will host the Oklahoma City Thunder at STAPLES Center late night tonight. I know it's very early in this 2010-11 NBA season, but head coach Vinny Del Negro (remember him, Bulls fans?) already has an enemy in his first season as the Clippers' new head coach. He's veteran Los Angeles Times' basketball scribe T.J. Simers, and needless to say, he puts VDN on a tee after his Clippers lost to the San Antonio Spurs at home Monday night. 670 The SCORE's "Boers & Bernstein" talked to T.J. yesterday, but I thought you'd enjoy the online version of this story found here:

Damn SHARK! I posted aboot this in the B&B section yesterday. Why do you hate me?

Truth be told, Johnny, that's exactly what Vinny said after his Bulls lost to a bad Sacramento Kings' team last December at United Center. The game in which the Bulls blew a 35 point lead and lost by 2 at the end...

I fogot aboot that

I better start getting games up two weeks ahead of time..

B&B have already said the Bulls are better coached. They can "see it". My ass. They resent Vinny because he is a well-coifed good looking Italian.
They resent him because of this. Wake me when the Bulls new coach takes them to a game 7 against a heavily favored opponent.

jimmy, kindly remove yourself form this section

you really think Vincenzo was responsible for them taking the Celtics to 7 games?

Bagels,
I questioned his substituitions & rotations on a few occasions. The FACT is they did reach Game 7 with HIM. Those are the facts. I love how guys like Ditka get mocked & maligined on here and on the SCORE. Yet,nobody else has equaled his coaching record while here,even without the SB win.

do you recall that Garnett did not play in that series?

Yes,I watched the series. They were still heavily favored without him.

oh lord, jimmymeatball going to the defense of Vinny now? The Bulls got to that game 7 inspite of Vinny and his poor coaching.

Oh and please do not compare Vinny to Ditka ever again. Thanks.

Yeah, I definitely remember Kevin Garnett didn't play in that 7 game first round NBA Playoff series vs. the Bulls 2 years ago...The one the Celtics won in 7...

RFDC,
I know Vinny wasn't very sharp,but he did have some success. I compare him to Ditka because the critics love to mock him and make him out to be dumb.

yeah, shit was already mentioned in this thread. thanks SHARK

Jimmy, Vinny is a joke. Absolutely no handle on game strategy, combined with a complete lack of media savvy... I heard he's already alienated his best player there? Maybe he thinks he can just hide out there in the shadow of the Lake Show..

You can't take the position that VDN is a good coach and retain any cred in any matters on the Association

yeah but he's all but admitted it's because he's italian

racist

The Bulls got what they paid for when Vinny Del Negro was their head coach...Jerry Reinsdorf wasn't interested in paying big money and hired someone who didn't know what the hell he was doing each of the last 2 years when he was here. I think the Clippers are finding how bad of a coach VDN really is first hand.

The Clippers are now 1-12.

That Vinny is one helluva coach...

well I mean Blake Griffin is out for the year and everything

See, the problem is somebody forgot to inform Vinny that Blake is on the team. Once he finds out...look out.

You think any other coach is stupid enough to work for Donald Sterling? He's supposed to be one of the absolute worst owners in team sports, and I wonder the Clippers' owner got fleeced by hiring a guy who didn't know what the hell he was doing during 2 seasons with the Bulls...

Fixed. Vinny won his first game w/ the Bulls.

have to give some credit here, the team is 9-9 after that horrific start. solid wins over Hornets, Spurs, Bulls...probably should have won that Lakers game.

looking better

Vinny for coach of the year.
