I don't think Monty is the worst coach in the league. Just below average. Obviously he has been very handcuffed this year but he has put out many puzzling line ups. I don't think our defense has been anywhere near the same since Malone left. Malone is the next Tom Thiodeau so this is to be somewhat expected.

What really concerns me is how bad our defensive efficiency is and how bad we are coming out of time outs. We also miss so many 2 for 1 opportunities. This is coaching.

Let's not forget OJ Mayo missed 2 wide open corner 3s in OT. Again this is the most efficient shot in the NBA outside the lane and we are the worst team defending it and offensive attempts,

I do think he needs to work on how he runs an offense, but it's so hard to get a competent offense with incompetent players. One thing I do notice is that our bigs need to set better picks. A lot of times it'll be a very lazy pick that might not even touch the player guarding the ball handler. I was at the opener against the Spurs and their bigs are so much better at picking the defender and setting up open looks.

This would be my biggest complaint. Tonight was a prime example at the end of the first through about half of the second quarter.

Agreed, but I think the defensive talent is worse than the offensive talent- especially on the wings- and the youth (ball watching, not knowing rotations, etc) are the main culprits IMO. I expect to see improvement as the season progresses. At this rate it shouldn't be hard to do.
