This thread may come back to bite me, but honestly, I have not witnessed a coach who seemed so overwhelmed by the moment vs the Heat.  His coaching decisions in the 2nd half of this game 2 v the Heat was abysmal.  Ok, Kanter had his sweet mini run in the first half. But the moment Bam starting going off, you don't keep him in the game. Where was Robert Williams? Grant was almost as bad. Bam destroyed us at the center position. The few minutes Rob played in game 1 vs Bam he actually held his own quite well. Brad is a stubborn arrogant coach.  The media and most fans proclaim him as the young genius.  Immune from basic criticism.  Well the gloves have come off.

This team is so much more talented than the Heat even with Hayward sitting out.  To be down 2-0 vs this team is a disgrace.

If we lose to the Heat, I really hope Danny reconsiders whether Brad is capable of getting this team any further than the ECF.   

Okay, lay it on me. Tell me it's the players not the coach. Sure, they could have done better, especially taking care of the ball. But the primary reason we lost was because Brad did a poor job of match ups.

I'm leaning towards yes along with trading Tatum.

Brad's not going anywhere and Danny needs to give Brad a much better bench.

We have the worst bench in the NBA.

No better alternatives on the market right now, we'd better hold tight and hope he makes the right adjustments.

I'm still looking to win the title if we can consistently play with a global offence.

Not with him as coach and Tatum.

None of those options remotely interest me.

If nothing else, he's been exposed as a pretty mediocre in-game coach these playoffs.
