Docs Leadership..?

[MBz]

His leadership is fine, but his management of substitutions is a big problem for me.  KG should not be averaging more then 26-27 MPG, plain and simple.  Look at how the spurs divide there minutes, they have a lot of guys playing low minutes, but it's going to keep guys fresh for the playoffs.  The other thing is, KG simply isn't as effective when playing more then 30.  Tim Duncan is playing about 26 mpg, it's keeping him fresh and effective.  Once in a while, you let his minutes go up, but you can't do it all the time.  They have a guy like Matt Bonner playing 17 mpg, you can't tell me that Wilcox or Stiesma can't give as much production as that guy.

So, he doesn't get any of the credit because he won when he had all the right pieces and he gets all the blame because we're losing when the pieces have almost ended all their useful life???

Dude's cards are stacked against him at this point. I'd judge him more harshly if he didn't win when he has all the right pieces in place. And no, I don't think that is the case in the past. I think he got us as far or beyond where we could have been without him. We only lost the championship in 2010 by 4 points when nobody believed we'd make it past the Cavs and the Magic that year.

I don't really like blaming Doc. Not now at least.

One more thing..DOc Had TOM THIBIDOE at the helm, running the defense....who obviously took all that wisdom WITH him..along with Scal....unless...SCAL was the real secret element there....!!!

We were only a top 3 defensive team last year without coach Thibs.

all filed under coaching though...and YES steamer CAN give that and more..but NOT from the bench...he needs to get on the floor...!

Doc don't do the hiring and firing.

Like last year when Tony Stewart dumped the dead weight from his race team and won the championship, tuff call.but its business..  Time has come for DA to say Thnaks for the ride dudes, don't let the door hit ya on the way out...

I agree. Doc says it's Rondo's team but won't put players that run on the floor with him on the court. In comes Steamer ( for 3 minutes) and Pietrus, out goes Rondo.

Well, he never said it was PP's team, or kg"s, or Ray's...or the Big three's team......and the timing...it is Rondo's team..now that nothing is happening...a leader would step up, take responsibility, and find a way to steer the team the way it should be....That is ALWAYS THE COACH. Even Phil Jackson never said it was MJ's team....... I think it is very weak.

You really never heard him say it was the big three's team? I hear it about 100 times in a hundred different ways.

You are not a doc fan, huh?

Hahahaha, out of all the quotes, I think you nailed it. I don't HATE doc, I don't even know the man. I just haven't seen the coaching skills out of him. So, lets say i don't lke the way he does his job...I guess that is it. TP for you...!
