He's shown me absolutely nothing so far this season.
How come I was expecting this from you? Lol. You haven't liked the guy since he got here, so I'm not surprised. Even if he killed your cat, you shouldn't be this hard on a college coach that's taking his first ride in the nba on a really really bad team
I didn't know the guy when he got here. Based on his credentials, I expected someone who has solid grasp of that elusive ingredient that makes a team perform better than the sum of its parts.
I wasn't expecting a
good team, mind you, mostly because even getting 150% of crappy "parts" gives you, more or less, crap.
However, we're 50 games in, none of this has happened. I'm looking at a team that plays vanilla defense, and is mostly meandering aimlessly on offense until someone takes a long jump shot or a tightly contested layup.
I can't see the team playing particularly hard, I can't see players outperforming their expectations, I can't see players responding enthusiastically to what Stevens is feeding them. Not all of this is his fault, but the combination of it, to me, means there's no redeeming factor for the coach here.
He may yet improve over the rest of his contract, but to reiterate -- he's shown me nothing about what he's going to be like as an NBA coach.
