re: This team would be filthy with a good coach

Anyone thinking that a new coach, short of a hall of fame level one, is going to magically fix that is fooling themselves

Agreed. If the alternative is Eric Spoelstra, sure.

wouldn't classify him as a "good" coach. He's mediocre-to-decent in his young career

That’s too harsh for me. This is his first season with a relatively healthy roster, and as you said it’s just not a good enough roster. We are talent capped and I think Willie has us pretty close to that cap.

We keep hearing how we have a deep roster, and we do in the sense that we have a lot of dudes who if we cut them today, would get picked up in a heartbeat by other NBA teams. But a lot of our pieces don't fit together.

Yea we just don’t have enough two way players. Of our “big 3” none player any defense. Our fourth best player in Jonas struggles defensively. We have a key rotational player in Dyson with zero offensive game. Jose is undersigned.

Herb is one of the few guys on the roster that are positive players on both ends.

That’s a tough hand to coach past the second round. Getting out of the first round is the bar for me at this point and I think Willie will clear it this year if we stay healthy.
