Stevens not adjusting

[sed522002]

In the post-game interview Brad said he probably should have played Hump and Pressey more. Of course there are things that coaches will wish they've done differently...ex. Pop not having Duncan in at the last min in G6 of the Finals and Bosh securing the rebound..you know the rest.

My only complaint about Stevens is that he sits players too long.  They need shorter breaks and maybe an extra one.  Five real time minutes should do it and then get a player back in there.  If you sit to long you get tight.

I'm cool with most of what he does.....I sure as heck couldn't 't do better keep the peace......and run a team with no center

Get this guy a real center

Until we have a serious big ...I'm not blaming  coaches.....

It's Danny's fault we have no interior center ......or the owners

No center ...no chance

Rookie coach after all. But i find that he has a great pre game plan , but is having issues adjusting to the other teams adjusting.

- He keeps sticking with the same starting 5 and bench 5 instead of switching it up. Sullinger and Bass upfront is not going to help you get the job done defensively late in the game. Bass especially shouldn't be playing in the 4th quarter

-  Gerald wallace and humphries are having good games, but they don't play the mins they should

- Olynyk has been struggling, but i find that after one or two mistakes he is getting yanked.  The kid should have a chance to screw up here and there and build his confidence

- Jcraw is killing the offensive flow in the 2nd half.  I'm getting tired of him jacking "shocking" threes.  He is no Ray Allen or Steph Curry and should not do it

In the end of course it could be mainly the lack of elite talent thats the issue.  Especially not having Rondo , nor a center. But he should get back to mixing and matching, adjusting, instead of sticking with the same routine.  It's like these guys got us 30 pts or 40 pts in the 1st quarter, so they must be good enough to close out the games. But that is not the case.

You presume to know more than this coach?   That is laughable.   I think he is bright and he is good and he is making this team play way above their talent level.

NBA is a player's league.   Phil Jackson was great when he has the best player in the game but he knows if he doesn't have that he won't coach.  I think Stevens will be fine.

whats laughable is that you outscore your opponents in the 1st quarter for how many games now and blow the 4th for how many games now.

So a young team plays like a young team and you wanna blame the coach for that?
