n retrospect, lots of online coaching experts look like idiots for criticizing guys' abilities when they're coaching bad teams.

Think Orlando kind of regrets that Doc Rivers decision?
Shocker that he couldn't turn a team starting Tyronn Lue, Juwon Howard, and Andrew Declerq into champs.

Internet hero, Bill Simmons cried for years to get Rivers fired in Boston, to the point that Ainge almost did it.
For some reason Doc couldn't turn a team starting Ricky Davis and Raef Lafrentz into winners.

They bring in actual talent and Rivers was able show his true abilities. Amazing what KG and Ray Allen can do for you. Now he's universally accepted as one of the 2 or 3 best coaches in the league.

Monty had one good team and we got to the playoffs. When the Pelicans actually have a roster good enough to win, guys like Lance Thomas and Xavier Henry will be distant memories. When Monty's losing games with GOOD teams, then get back to me with the fire him stuff.

Until then, the nonsense and hyperbole people are spewing about what they think they know about Monty as a coach is just ignorant noise.
