TH coaching has been bad. Firing a bad coach and hiring another bad one doesn't mean that coaching isn't largely to blame. What it means is that two bad coaches have been hired.
The defensive chemistry seems to be a joke at the moment. They are all possibly confused, including the coach at the moment.
Lol. Sit down. I'm not late to anything. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=230353 Dwight is who he is. The offense needs variance. Our shooters suck because we don't play inside out. I hate posting up Dwight and would rather D-Mo get all those shots. Harden needs to be posted up as well. Dwight getting ~5 shots is a complete failure of coaching. The games D-Mo gets 4 shots are also a failure of coaching. If we had a competent offense we could get easy shots for guys like Dwight. JB blows.
Dwight should only get more touches if he is willing to set a real pick and roll hard to the basket. Apparently, that and alley-oops are only two ways that he can effectively score. His post up game is mediocre at best, and usually results in one of turnovers, bricks, or getting fouled, none of which is a good result.
this. pretty much this. while I agree with this in principle, I have to ask "why should he bother?" Because of the failure of coaching identified above, he's got very little incentive to knock himself out and do all that work if other players are still going to be taking the lion's share of the shots every game. Don't get me wrong, I see Dwight sulking from time to time like everyone else; I just don't think it's all on him. His talents are being squandered here just like some others' . . . because I think collectively the franchise has thown all its marbles into the James Harden basket. That's a gamble, and it may not pay off in the end (think Melo). I hope it pays off, I really do. But I agree with DudeWah here, this is mostly a failure of coaching at this point.
Post up DMo and Harden? Yes. Add Beasley to that too. Coach Nick raised a very interesting point that 3pt % increases if the shooter catches the ball from the post since he's already centered towards the rim. It's lower if you receive it from the perimeter since you're not centered yet. Post up Dwight though? No, he's proven to be a turnover prone disaster and still sucks at the foul line. Smart teams will know not to double team him and let him shoot. Cover the shooters instead. Teams can't do the same thing with Harden/DMo/Beasley posting up.
Why didn't Moari hired Thibs when he fired Mchale? And why didn't he traded Brewer? In Moari we BUST.
Because there is a mutual respect in the coaches union not to take a job when a coach gets fired right away, it would seem that the firing was planned under the table....Rather have McHale still.........
Coach calls play out of TO that results in wide open Dwight in the paint....plz resign. What is wrong with some of you idiots? There are reasons to get rid of JBB, but calling a play that resulted in an open Dwight is not one.
Why the **** would you trust that play to Harden's turnover ridden ass in a spot like that? He can't be trusted to get the ball there to make the play. Too risky of a play right there.
Why would you trust the guy with a career high 15 assists to make an assist? Can you think of a better night? This is like arguing with children or DaDakota. Rationality is your friend.
All I know is he's about to obliterate the turnover record. Like I said too risky of a play in that spot.
