Joe doing his best to stop the tank. That Orlando Magic team has a lot more talent and had no business losing to the Celtics. Credit where credit it due, no?
"Credit where credit it due, no?" --> Yes, but not to Joe. Credit to the players for playing hard and for doing their best not to mail it in during a down year.
I will credit Joe with getting the players to play hard which is not a small thing. He seems to have finally figured out the best players to start which is another good thing. if he can actually get 2 of Walsh, Hugo and Baylor to develop into rotation quality players for next year, I'll give him credit for that (although it does beg the question what took so long with Walsh if that happens).
What he still needs to do is figure out a better offensive strategy because he's still relying on a 3-heavy offense that is not functioning because he's got 4 'reliable' 3-pt shooters and they are woefully inconsistent to just downright awful this year. needs to figure something out for when the shooting is bad (which has been the same issue since he took over). also need to figure out how to cut down on the offensive boards we surrender. Granted, he can only do so much with the frontcourt he's been given but this is pretty bad and that's coming from someone who predicted they'd quite possibly set the record for most offensive boards given up in a season and lowest defensive rebounding percentage.
