He gave a speech during the play in game vs the Clippers.

The only reason he was hired because BI and his buddies liked him over SVG?

Name me anything positive because I don't see it

This board is tiresome at times.

No new ground is being broken anymore. It's just old topics masked as new topics.

1) Lead a team without Zion to the playoffs two years ago.

2) Lead this year's team, at this point in the season, to its best record in six years.

3) Help develop young players such as Trey, Jose, Herb, Dyson, and Naji.


So glad that I could help you this morning.

He’s had a winning record in 2/3 seasons so far and has us in the playoffs/play-in in all 3 as it stands.

Is Willie flawed? Yes. But you went with a young coach who had no experience, you can’t be surprised when there are growing pains with a young coach just like there are with a young player.

Can you do better than Willie right now? Absolutely, but if you have confidence in him as an organization for 3 years down the line, let it ride.

Got nba players to pass the ball, play hard on defense, and built a culture and locker room where everyone seems to generally care about each other.

Do you have any idea how hard that is in the nba?

Our defense has been top 10 in the league this year and last despite the fact we start 4 average or worse defenders. Idk how you explain that except as good coaching.

He has gotten a lot out of a roster that has had more than its share of injuries and other difficulties in the tough Western Conference.

1.took team to playoffs year 1.
2. led team to over .500 season for first time in about 5 seasons when Zion played 29 games only and BI 45.
3. on the verge of another over .500 season in b2b years. last time that was done CP3 was throwing lobs to Tyson Chandler.

But what do I know.

Consistently produces a top 10 defense with 4 bad defenders in his starting lineup.

Developed nobodies like Naji, Jose to become solid nba rotation players.

Led Pels to a 6 game series with the Suns (without his best player all season) while overcoming a terrible start:

Has made some level of post season play every year he’s been the coach despite again having a best player that has been hurt every year.


On track to again make the playoff and increase the teams wins (improvement every year seems like all you can ask for?)

Willie isn’t perfect but the hate is crazy. He’s not underachieved yet (maybe this season if they fall off but we are right there in the race for the 5th seed).
