im not arguing with you guys. I see what you are saying. You're a legit poster with good stuff to say. I just don't think its simple. you can't take the pros of one approach while eliminating the cons mchale was a ballsy badass who would bench people, yell at them, and hold them accountable but over a long period of time it caused players to tune him out, become passive agressive, and stop trusting him. dantoni is a bro and low pressure and their friend. they might feel too comfortable sometimes but they trust him and are confident to let it fly. gotta take the good with the bad.
Yeah last year was somewhat unimaginable. Such a talented team with disastrous results. Its almost like the 2013 Lakers. I loved the 2014-2015 team. Just an amazing team all-round. Never expected them to win the championship but was such a joy to watch compared to this current team. Back then fighting for the 4th seed all season long never seemed more energising. We had Josh Smith being super productive and fitting the team so well, patching up our defense, passing, and toughness. Corey Brewer was very productive, Harden didn't have the megastars of this year but just seemed amazing every game, gosh I could go on...and Dwight ensured our playoffs we were never outmatched and had a great chance to win every game
harden with defense hustle and rebounding!!! he is our best chance to win. gotta hope he plays well and see what happens.
