Now that everyone is finally seeing the light

No downvote here...I'm with you! How can we lose a game to a team that was missing lots of personnel and we were up by 24 at one time- 19 at the half.
I realize players got to execute, but coaches got to coach as well.

We have 9 losses after leading by 15+ points this season.
We have 12 total losses
Let that sink in
He can't coach with a lead he takes his foot off the gas he might get a 1st round victory but that is it he will not out coach anyone, it's like less miles they are winning in spite of him not because of him
Willie needs to goblet Borrango take the reins and see what happens

I personally think this is simple as not shooting enough 3s. It catches up to you during the game. The Pels have to be getting at least 35 3s a game up. You cant trade mid range shots for 3s.

It’s not that simple. Memphis didn’t outshoot us from 3. We didn’t lose this game because we traded 2’s for 3’s.

We lost this game bc we never went back to the lineup that went on a 28-2 run. How do you not rinse and repeat a lineup within the same game that did that? Living in bizzaro world not going back to that

Because that lineup was shooting/making threes. Willie just does not fundamentally believe in that. When its crunch time he will always revert back to defense and it continously burns him.

someone that values the art of playing defense.
and creating your offense through creating turnovers.
maybe Dennis Allen

Don't underestimate the value of a culture guy, especially with the two huge/fragile egos on our two most talented players.

This would make sense, but we have nothing to show for that culture, especially with our best player, so what good has it done and gotten us?


I think we need to lean the entire opposite way and get the next SVG like hard arse to give them tough love. If they break, so be it. The alternative is the last 5 ish years of nothing, so what are we really losing?

Ehhhh yes and no. Yes the core problem is lack of us shooting, especially down the stretch. But that comes down to offensive philosophy sure and it also comes down to lineups, and we are just playing non shooting lineups late in games repeatedly

The team was worse, Bledsoe played the most total minutes on the team that season.

Yeah, but it's not that simple....that was a shitshow under SGV, your IMHO using selective memory.

Hey, I'm not saying I don't disagree that Willy is not a great bench coach, IMHO he is not.

However I don't think brining in a Van Gundy type makes it better.

What one needs is someone who combines a bit of both and some experience, and there aren't a whole lot of those around and the one's there are, probably are looking for another job aside from New Orleans, that's just reality IMHO.

So for me anyway, given the choice between good or at least as good as you can get these days, culture in the locker room - and a young coach who is green behind the ears but could get better....I choose the latter.
