shite on him all you want after a loss but on a night where he gets another undermanned team without its starting PG and PF to beat a top team in the West and he gets nothing? I want him gone too (maybe not as much as most) but I give credit where it's due. That man does a hell of a job motivating this team when it's down to play up to better competition.

Now if only he could do that against Boston, NYK, etc.

I will never claim that Monty isn't improving as a coach. It's the damn pace at which he's learning and the floor he started from that drive me mad. If this was year 1 I'd be alright with him and maybe even pleasantly surprised right now that the team is playing at this level. The problem is it's year 5 and I'll be damned if I'm willing to risk the next 2-3 years with him to find out he's still an idiot. There's quite a few other things going on that coincide with winning lately. Monty gets his share of that praise, but he doesn't get the majority just because people crap on him all the time.

This is why he's such a shitty coach. He can get the team to play up to competition, but he can't motivate them to beat teams that they are better than.

I give him props on those good wins, but there's two problems with this.

1. He can't consistently beat better teams
2. He can consistently lose to worse teams

That leads to being sub-par in records most of the year. No point beating OKC/Hou x2 if you lose games to NYK, Boston, Philly, Denver x2, and Indiana
