We're just missing wide open 3's. 3 for 17 from 3.
same BS we saw in game 7 last year
THEN ADJUST!
coaches are fired all over the sports world because it all lies at their feet at the end of the day.
that is a fact whether we want to accept it or not.
They need a different coach. I've beaten this horse so much it's almost glue, but the dude can't coach the team through adversity.
it all lies at his feet. i am at wits end with brad. i cannot argue with you on that. he is seeming to be the common denominator.
I don’t see that. This mess is first and foremost a player issue. Pieces simply do not fit.
No, the players are manageable. They just need the proper direction and guidance. Brad not clarifying roles from Day 1 and being unable to even motivate the team to play with energy is a pretty significant indictment on his ability to coach this team.
We're legitimately looking at a first round exit as the 5 seed at this point, as these players clearly don't trust each other or play as a team.
Yeah, we’re not going to agree here. This is a players league. No spot up shooter on the entire roster. Almost all of them need to push the ball to score. No great shooter. No specialist.
Pieces just don’t fit. This really can’t be argued against.
I mean, it can, because this virtually identical team made it work last year with the only real difference being the addition of the jack-of-all-trades Hayward, which clearly shouldn't throw off the fit this much.
The main difference is the motivation and overall character of this team from last year. The pieces fit fine from a basketball perspective - it's the character/personality perspective where the team does not fit, which is something that can be managed by better coaching, such as the coach actually clarifying roles and taking a more authoritative approach with making sure the team is disciplined.
I like brad but kinda agree. We need a stronger coach for this team. What’s Marc Jackson doin theses days?
Oh God no. I'd much rather sit through Brad's continuous in-game brain farts for the rest of my life than watch Jackson out there.
And it's unfair to put the blame solely on Brad, too. I think having such a young and inexperienced coaching staff is also part of his problem. And I think he doesn't even have any former players on his coaching staff now that Walter left. That's a problem, I think.
I know it might not be a popular opinion, but if Luke Walton got fired I would go for him as an assistant coach. Former player, been involved in success, and I think he is actually coaching well. There's only so much you can do when the GM and the President side with a player over you, and try to do his bidding rather than help you out.
Plus, his dad was pretty helpful for us.
