I have the same frustration than most here about our trajectory since one year, about this hard loss yesterday, about some of Tatum and Brown Iso obsession. Ime coaching is quiet weak on many points, more than weak I would say Green.
But I still can find a lot of hope. Maybe for this season, most propably for next. We still have to find more variety in our games. And stopping end game iso. But we must have more role player who can shoot the extra pass. What showed PP yesterday was really impressing to me, also in the défensive intensions. He may become more solid that I though. Langford also step up, Nesmith look trash but still have the biggest potential to me. Maybe it was a mistake to not go full young two years ago. Or this year. If we can't build a trade around Horford or Richardson or find à first for Schroder maybe their signing was powder in the eyes. Like Fournier last year.
But this roster may move this year or have to next summer. And with the good move, with patience and continuent to developp the youth, this team will step up quickly like Suns did.
Ime is a young coach and I didn't expect much more than what he is doing. He is doing good in many critics Brad took. He is doing bad in offensive schems, global game understanding. But his players show a better fighting spirit than last year. Maybe we need another exp assistant. Brad would have had a good profile
Many criticized player stepped up lately. Smart isn't the PG But is a rate profile and will even be more usefull of a core player when we contend.
We had the hardest stretch and programm this month. We fluke end of match, Ime took bad décisions. Our young rotations guys as stars are still not picking. We may end the year better than most think and chasing a top 4-5 rank. I still believe we can do that. Chicago, Cleveland are not used to PO. Milwaukee is a good matchup. Brooklyn is uncertain etc... We shouldn t stop believing with this hard stretch this tough losses. We may be one good coach -Ime may or may not progress- and a smart trade not necesserly for a superstar, to become again à very goog team.
