    its time for a change was needed she is right look at what was happening we gave up clint did not get a 1st round pick we gave up more than we got and we lost a guy who was second best on the bench in house and look we did give small ball a try it did not work time to try something new nothing wrong with a little change just like the nfl everything is adapting and changing look at LA Philly Miami Denver they changed there way of coaching and system it was time is all

    Just remember this, If AshleyEm thinks it’s a terrible hire, we are probably doing something right.

    I’m all of a sudden excited.

    assistant coach for 20 years and the opening post says "That record tells me he is not ready yet."


    do you have to wait 100 years ?

    I dont know much about him but his dad was a key component for the Celtics 70's championship teams and he learned under Carlisle. So he's had good mentors and if the hirings of McMillan/Hornacek are true then he's well connected around the league and the AC's have been upgraded. I will withold judgement but I like his first hires.

    You forget he was once a assistant coach with Golden State and help coach their back court. Give him a change can’t be no worst then what we had. The last coach was so pig headed would never make any adjustments.

    Hopefully this take is as bad as the rant about letting Ty Lawson run the offense instead of Harden.

    Hire is fine. Problem is Westbrook has been and still is overrated. I love his passion and effort but this is a make or miss league and Westbrook just misses too often. I would trade him and IF Harden sulks I'd rebuild entirely. I seriously doubt this team can win with this duo. Only way would be 2 elite shooters to spread the floor. Covington is a good player but not an elite shooter. Gordon is too streaky. They need a better shooter bad.

    Silas is at least better than Lucas. And I like JVG but not as a head coach. Maybe as an assistant but he would play Harden 40+ minutes or more minutes than MDA. We saw how he over played Yao.
    The Mavs ran a decent offensive scheme and we can hire a defensive coach like we have done in the past. Like when CP3 and MDA were here.

    So you are resting all the responsibility on him as the assistant coach for all those mediocre teams records? And do you think players/personnel had anything to do with those teams? Also he was the offense coach for the Mavs not defensive coach. You do know he is well known in the community by players and coaches right? I don’t believe you know enough about him to make an assessment based on your incorrect information and judgements.

    in a way, I agree with OP. I doubt he will be able to manage JH & Russ, they simply wont listen him. Hello another season of nonostop iso ball.

    was westbrook the reason for OKC’s finals losses or west finals loss against warriors? Surely one player isn’t the reason.
