  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
Ime looked better and more relaxed yesterday. I think you start Schroder till the deadline if keeps playing well and we are winning. I say keep him unless he offer is to big. 2 seconds i say ride the season with him.. I'd call Dallas and offer Smart for Brunson. I thnk he is the type we need with the Jays. Tyus Jones would be a dream too.I thnik the both would make any coach look better.

Ime was up against a rookie coach as well. Just proves that Ime isn’t terrible. He can take a more talented squad and win like he’s supposed to

Ime has nothing to work with, so it’s really not his fault…got one of the worst bench in NBA..no scoring PG..


Schroder is averaging 16pts per game off the bench. Which teams do you think have a better bench rotation then Schroder, Richardson, Grant Williams and Kanter? I bet there aren’t many.  The coach has plenty to work with and the defense has been solid for a while now. The issue is Ime isn’t good when it comes to the offensive end.

I suspect when people talk "bench" they are referring to Nesmith, Langford, Pritchard and the deep bench. Because Schroder, JRich, Freedom and GWill have gotten decent game time and have done well. If you talk about a 9 man playoff rotation we actually have a decent one. The issue is people want to see those 3 rookies in action because they expected big leaps from them and they aren't seeing them.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Yeah, I don’t understand worrying about 3rd stringers. Let them develop in the G-league. C’s just need to win games at this point and it’s really difficult with the current coach. He’s playing checkers out there.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Pritchard, Nesmith and Romeo aren't rookies.

If they don't do what he tells them to do he whines to the media but still keeps them in the game.

Wikipedia: Basketball coaching is the act of directing and strategizing the behavior of a basketball team or individual basketball player. ... Coaches also have the responsibility to improve their team by player development, strategy, and in-game management. Coaches also teach and inspire their team to be their best.

Plumlee is the Hornet's only center and he only played 28 minutes and yet somehow we had to play two centers at times. Ime seems to go away from advantageous matchups.

Man, if they could just get a good center ...

A good center (top 15) and a quality bench could make that team a contender to win the East.

Their main 4 guys are really good. They need more help though.

He probably wanted to take advantage of the Hornets' lack of size, but he trotted out two big lineups without ever dumping it to his bigs down low. What's the point of playing Old Chevys if you won't let them go to work?

Not passing judgement on the specifics of the article but interesting points.

"The Boston Celtics are currently the #1 team in the NBA in After Time Out scenarios scoring 1.01 PPP currently."

At least one thing that reflects well on the coaching.
