Monty Williams with our current roster

How much better do you think we would be? Looking back, Monty seemed to get the most out of his teams. For example: the 2011-12 roster was one of the worst I’ve ever seen in the NBA (Lance Thomas started for us at times), but they still played hard and could defend. Monty never had a bench and certainly didn’t have a combo of Boogie and AD to wreck shite upon the western conference. Gentry doesn’t have depth either but the overall talent we have is better than what Monty had for most of his New Orleans career. Yet we stand around and jack up 3’s while playing no defense. I believe Monty would have this team at the 4-6 seed range instead of a borderline 8 seed.
TLDR: Uncle Al can’t coach his way out of a wet paper bag. We were better off with Monty

We're 18-18? I honestly think close games like that Monty pulls off. If its anything, Monty is vastly better than Gentry at drawing up plays after timeouts.
Its just the in-betweens its frustrating
So that being said, 20-16 or 22-14

On a scale of 1-10, with Stu Jackson being a 1 and Phil Jackson being a 10, Al Gentry is a 2.7 and Monty Williams is a 3.7.

Monty is better than AG, but IMHO that doesn’t mean his firing was without merit. Just means Pels made a bad situation worse.

Not canning Gentry after last season was a huge mistake.

on 12/31/17 the Pels are 18-18 with a +1 Net Rating, the 6th best offense, and the 24th best defense in the league

Pels fighting to get above .500 and into the playoffs in Monty's last season. Hanging right around .500
Lose to the 7-31 Sixers and the 5-36 Knicks in the same week.
But yeah, fire Gentry and pine for Monty. Dummies.
