Is this really going to become the new, infamous "any Terry Rozier fans" thread?
Are there still Terry Turd fans?
And, yes, Brad should still be fired. He's lucky he has so much talent at his disposal even if he is clueless on how to manage it.
If only we had a real coach like Doc Rivers. His teams would never choke away big leads in playoff games. /sarcasm
Why is it because of talent when we win, but because of coaching when we lose?
Except Heat are winning because of coaching.
Besides, wasn’t the CBS narrative generally “he gets so much out of so little?” I think this is the first year where we actually have more talent.
So then by extension they lost because Brad outcoached Spo? Right?
Yes, CBS had a good gameplan tonight and it showed.
Plus it helps that the C’s have more talent. I can’t imagine the Heat ever blowing the C’s out because of this talent disparity (barring some amazing slump or some amazing hot streak).
But the fact remains: CBS (and by extension, the team) wasn’t ready for the Heat and their zone in game 1-2.
I don’t know if you’re confusing me for someone else. I’m not in the “fire CBS” camp. But I’m not absolving him for his performance in game 1-2. He had a couple of moments (playing Kanter, playing Grant) but went away from it, and I thought he had a great back and forth with nick nurse (who also coached the heck out of that series) in the previous series, but Spoelstra’s Heat were prepared and the C’s looked lost. When 5 guys look like a mess out on the court, I think that’s largely on the coach.
