It’s interesting how different coaches fit different teams so, well, differently. I thought Bickerstaff was godawful coaching the Cavs in the playoffs, but it seems like he’s good at developing young guys. Meanwhile, Monty Williams was great with a more veteran team in Phoenix, but couldn’t do anything with the young guys here. Sort of like Larry Brown here, as well, honestly.

Some guys are just probably best suited to coach veteran teams.

Very disappointed. And yeah, Cade is now exceeding my expectations. Bigly.

I enjoyed this quote very much from a coach about Steph

Mr. Doggie. LOL

It was that you spelled “Sims” with two “m”s as “Simms.” It’s just not correct, is all. I don’t get the analogy with Thibs, though. Do you keep your letters in for too long? I guess that *might* explain the extra letter. :o)

Mr. Doggie, think of me as Thibs’ of spelling. Hope this helps you with whatever it is that you’re dealing with.

Thibs needs to play Sims again. Precious isn’t getting it done. Play Precious at the 4 next to Towns to give OG a break.

KAT is a bad defender, I don’t think his offense at the 5 is worth his defense. It’ll kill our offense, which is on life support anyway, but we need Mitch at the 5.

I love love love that Director spelled Alec Burks’ name correctly, but then……. 🙂

Is there anything else other than drop coverage we can play with Towns? All his defending angles are off plus hands don’t come up at all

Thibs is solid but he’s not the right man for the job anymore. There is levels to this coaching game.

Would Pat Riley gives us Alec Burks back for Simms + a 2nd round pick? At least we know that Thibs will actually play him for 20 minutes.

Word is OG is not happy with his role on offense. I guess he feels like he’s getting frozen out by the Villanova boys on offense and then has to cover for them on defense all the time. That could be part of why his effort on defense has not been up to the same level it was when he was blocking a lot of shots and stealing/deflecting the ball. He may be tired, but he’s also not happy.

I mean I’m familiar with Beasley and Stewart and vaguely know about Paul Reed but if you asked me “who does Simone Fontecchio play for” I’d have guessed AC Milan, and I’m still not convinced Wendell Moore Jr is an actual NBA player
