Bickerstaff to remain head coach for remaining season.

Ha, man, I've been THERE -- and you are not lying.

 

LOL. Will preaching the truth, let's see if JB was as well.

 

JB has to be given the shot here. There's no other way to do it. You guys saying that we are throwing the season away are wrong. We'd be throwing the season away if we brought in a big name with a completely new system in mid-season.

It's on JB now. And Chris Finch will have the offense.

 

On crutches.

 

They were playing poorly, but that's not the same as being an embarrassment. That's what pissed off Les. If they simply listened, they would have had more structure and could have pulled off 2-3 more wins. Thats a big difference in the west and wouldn't have been seen as time to panic. It also buys McHale time to make it work and for Pat, maybe even Dmo, to come back and help in a huge way.

I get he was a mediocre coach, even worse strategically, but he's always been like that and the FO didn't seem to mind, so I doubt that was a factor in his firing. Les just needed to drop a bomb on the team to get their attention and this was it.
