Re: Unorthodox Sports Team Management
Paul Westhead won the NBA title with LA and then already did that at LMU and the Denver Nuggets.
'At the conclusion of the 1989-1990 season, Westhead left LMU for the NBA's Denver Nuggets, a position he held for two seasons. His tenure in Denver was best known for attempting to incorporate the run-and-gun offense that worked for LMU to the NBA.
However, while Denver averaged a league-best 119.9 points per game in 1990-91, this resulted in Denver surrendering an NBA record 130.8 points per game, including one game versus the Phoenix Suns where Denver gave up 107 points in one half, which still stands as an NBA record. Westhead was fired from the Nuggets after two seasons after posting a combined W/L record of 44-120.'
Phoenix wins because they have Nash, Amare, Matrix, Diaw, Bell, etc. Swap their starters with last year's Celtics team and you think they would win as many games? 80%?
