Nothing Willie has done shows that he is a good coach.
Good coaches find ways to win late games.
His rotations and decisions late in games are mind numbing

Playing theis was a mistake, but let's not act like Willie didn't coach a great game. He just had to match bigs because we were getting killed on the glass.


You can’t be serious. The Theis stuff cost us this game. You have to stop defending Willie. We were not getting killed on the glass.

It should never have come down to missed 3s at the end- thats the whole point.

said during camp I thought Payton could be an ideal back up PG for this team. He can't shoot, but he's always been a talented passer who can handle the kind of on-ball pressure that usually kills the Pelicans


He was OK tonight. But he is too casual with the ball. I hate watching him throw those one-handed passes where he whips it quick. It looks kind of cool, but it's dangerous. I'm shocked he only had 5 TOs..

No disrespect. Im not going to argue with someone who can’t see this game was only close in the end because of the Theis bullshite to begin with. The guy was logging DNPs and tonight he starts over Missi, logs over 17 minutes and plays in fourth with a -30. The difference between Theis and Missi was a fricking 56 poiny swing man!!!!

CJ and Trey were 5/21 from 3

That's the game. That's the entire game. It's not a coaching issue.

No its not. The difference between Theis and Missi was a 56 point swing. Even with them shooting like shite- when they played with Missi we were playing extremely well. You keep giving Willie excuses.

Yeah, theis playing at all is a mistake. But if the Pels went small they would've been killed on the glass even worse.

4 orebs by the Pacers in the 4th that led to 7 pts btw

We don’t know that. Because Willie kept playing the WORSE option in the game. Theis was killing in you every facet of the game. He wasn’t helping you with the boards. I can promise you small ball would have been better than playing Theis- what happened to playing small anyways- all that shite is out the window I guess.

That was a big part.
But I'd you can't see the coaching issues that Willie has you ain't looking.
There is a reason we fail to win so often late in the game.

I truly wish he were a better coach cause he seems like a great dude. He just shows time and again he isn't a good coach.

Yeah, Missi played 31 minutes. What else was Willie supposed to do with the rest of the minutes?

There's no way that Jemison would have been a good choice against a team as fast as the Pacers.

A coach can have issues, literally every coach in the league has "issues". Their either stubborn with rotations, can coach defense, can draw up plays out of timeouts, too loyal to players, etc.

I'd still argue that we're asking him to make chicken salad with chicken shite.

Not play Theis he was terrible.
JRE at the 5 would have been better.

You play small with JRE or Trey at center. Its literally what we did in several other games. Heck play Jemison- he was playing over Theis anyways. Theis got a DNPs in several games and now is starting. You do realize none of what Willie is doing makes any sense whatsoever.

It was a 1 point Game when Willie put Theis in and it was a 6 point swing and a offensive rebound given up in the process before he got pulled in the 4th.

Siakam and Turner would've eaten them alive down low.

That we got blown out in.

And we were losing all of his minutes too. And he's too slow.

It's almost as if we're asking him to make chicken salad with chicken shite.

And we had multiple opportunities to take the lead late and didn't.

Two wide open missed 3s by trey and an offensive foul by jre.

We missed too many shots late.
