Ime on the verge of being fired after an ignominious end to the year. Surely there must be a sacrificial head to roll for this fiasco?
So he took a young team that was playing selfish for a year and a half, mid season turn around and gets to the finals, and with some miracle the team gets back to what they were a couple months ago with a hurt starting center and PG, and a bench that is mediocre could still win, should get fired in his first year?
Sure...Or get the team a true Pg, maybe move Brown for a guy who can create for them selves or others and doesn't dribble off their butt every 5 minutes, back up center and a couple 3 and D guys off the bench.
Also Horford spot will need to be thought of either this summer or next.
This team is still a bridge team if people want to accept it or not. This team was built in cleaning DA's mess and to see how the Jays work together and who works with them and to set a new culture. To have the turn around with a ragtag team is pretty amazing, now lets see when they can put pieces that work better in a extra summer.
You also have a great run, took on the heavy hitters, guys who are willing to take a discount to win a ring will be looking at Boston now.
Yeah Ime has room to grow, but you don't take this team turn it around and get to the finals if your a hack.
Oz was being sarcastic.
Unlike you that somehow wants to do a mini blowup if this series is lost, rather than just adding a quality bench guy and letting the team grow organically for more years.
I said MAYBE move Brown, his turn overs have been bad, and not just in this series, lose handles, driving into 3 players, head down and he doesn't know where he is until he's in the air and too late bad. I love Brown, I wanted him drafted, but he doesn't make it easier for Tatum, can't create for others, barley himself some times.
Teams don't have to respect Smarts,Horford or TL's shooting and you can see how clogged the lanes are which adds to the turnovers. Horford may get you something, but not till the deadline cause of his expiring, Smart will get you a little, but Brown will get you the best return. You need to add an other Shooter/creator in the starting line up, that helps keep Rob on the floor with the lack of shooting. Get a better replacement for Smart or Horford, Brown works, if not he may have to go, but only for the right player, not the best, but the right player.
I never said I wanted them to trade Brown, but that they might have too so the team becomes more balanced.
