This is a big blow, I don’t like this at all. Wow... Under his guidance, we were 18th defensively in 16-17 when most thought we’d be bottom 5, and last year we were elite. The last thing I want to see happen is slippage defensively when defense was the main reason we were up 3-2 against GS.
I was OK with all the other offseason news. I'm not OK with this. Whatever underlying issues led the defensive coach to drop out on Sept. 16 can't be good. First thing that has made me really worry about the season.
I guess he wants to retire at the top. Jeff sees the defensive regression written on the wall with Tillman's cost-cutting and Melo joining the team. I hope the luxury tax profit is worth it, Tillman.
His heart just couldn’t bare loosing Ariza and Moute for Melo and Knight. He retired before this upcoming season because he knew it would have killed him. In before sign JVG comments.
This is very bad. Hope it isn't like when Kelvin Sampson left for UH and the Rockets defense instantly disintegrated.
Maybe this is health related. Who knows? I am not happy with this. Chris Paul gets to be the coach on the floor even more.
