people keep putting a lot of the blame on Monty, and to an extent I agree (the lack of calling timeouts, some players lacking effort, 3rd Q woes, etc.)...but honestly this team has been in far more games than not, and that's in part due to his coaching. not a large amount of coaches out there would would have their team beating the clippers on the road and hanging in there against some of the better teams in the league.
this season, the coaches and front office get a pass. they are building. but next season will tell a lot. i expect the team to compete to be .500 with eric gordon playing over 30 minutes, and next season with a legit SF, I am hoping for them to be in the 8-10 range

I'm skeptical on the 0.500, but I hope you are right.
As far as 3Q woes . . . we've lost more 2Q than 3Q this season. The worst quarters this season have been 2Q, not 3Q. There are issues in the 3Q, but there are there in the second as well.
I think both are talent related as opposed to pure coaching. We win more 1Q than we lose, so the gameplan coming in is ok, even if you just call it 50-50 (6H on 10 coin tosses doesn't mean the coin is not 50-50) considering the talent. The second quarter issues are likely due to being thinner than a Ritz. The 3Q is bad, in my opinion at this time, because Monty lacks the resources to make the necessary adjustments ("We've getting killed at the 3 so we're going to . . . continue to get killed," as a cartoon example). They are likely less bad due the starters playing. The 4Q is just a crap shoot.
It's interesting that 3Q collapses happen a good more often at home, while 2Q collapses happen more often on the road.
To me, this says that the collapse is going to happen, but it's just a matter of when. At home, they hold out longer due to home court advantage. It's a working theory at this point.
The poor coaching idea can be used to explain the 3Q issues in a vacuum, but then you need many other theories to explain the other clear and present data. This idea is simple and sort of explains it all using common knowledge.
It may be totally wrong, but I think it's worth me thinking about.

This. Given the talent and injuries, the offense has been good. Defense has been bad, but there is less defensive talent on the team than offensive. Davis isnt quite ready to anchor the team.

This is reasonable.
linked article is anti tank piece, but more importantly shows how hard it is to go from awful to good. Pieces are here but they need time.
