We can't just critique the coaching though. I think with the players the Pels have if your goal was to maximize wins this season Gentry or Finch would have been the better coach because pace and space plays to the natural strength of the team.

People are up in arms acting like Van Gundy is being stubborn or stupid and not adapting. He was tasked by Griffin to focus on exactly what he's focusing on. Making this non defensive team play defense. All I know is either Lonzo needs to take an unlikely step up on defense this summer, or the Pels need to trade for a starting caliber player good enough to lead a defense first team. Because without that you're going to get the same results again. And people will bitch and moan about how bad the coaching is when the real problem would be the POBO trying to shove a square peg in a round hole and make the team try to be something it isn't.
