If this game doesn’t convince you...

That there is a serious problem in the leadership, I don’t know what else to show you.
Still no discipline in defense, same crappy turnovers, failure to show up against a team that didn’t get into New Orleans until 3 am today, and the ridiculous frustration ejection.
Need to clean house in the coaching staff, unfortunately, I have no confidence in our GM to replace anyone because of his own incompetence.

It doesn’t take anymore convincing. Everybody knew it at the beginning of last year. At this point, I’ve accepted that Boogie and AD are gone in 2 years and we’re just gonna tread water and frick around until then.
Does anybody legitimately think any differently?

Gentry should have been canned 2 years ago

From what I can tell, the defense plan seems to be to run around just a little and hope the other team misses the shot

Gentry is a clown, he should of sat AD after the first tech and let him cool down. By his reaction after the first tech you could tell he was a ticking bomb.

Superstars that physically dominate (AD, Cousins, LeBron) get fricked over by the refs.
I ain't gonna disagree with LeBron and his tirade, tap a jump shooter and he gets 2. Maul a big center or guy like LeBron, not consistent.

Many of the qualified coaches wanted some control over player selection, which would have taken control away from Demps (or eliminated him completely).

After every damn game, win or lose, all people do is bitch and complain about the refs. I just don't get it. It doesn't change and its consistent. The players should adjust and fans should just accept it. Davis should have gotten some calls, but they have to let post players bang. It's unavoidable and the entire game would be free throws if they called all contact down low. But this is every game now. If you really believe the game is officiated that unfairly, why watch it?

You gotta call it consistently. That's the issue, some refs you see it consistent.
If youre gonna swallow it when they get mauled, you can't call it when it's barely a tap on the other end.
I used to catch every game, I just refuse to keep watching until something changes with Demps. Firing gentry isn't going to change the root of any problems.

Demps isn't going anywhere until after the season, if then. When is the last time a GM has gotten fired during the season? I really doubt they fire Gentry anytime soon as well. It not a bad team and its a team with a lot of vets that aren't going to let them fall off a cliff, so they will float around .500 all season. There are just no dramatic changes going to happen..

That is rather easy to say in retrospect. Gentry has failed miserably, but he was considered the architect behind GSW offense and widely considered a hot coaching candidate at the time.

This just isn’t true. This board was in meltdown mode. Erman’s hiring was the only thing that salvaged the news even a little. He was not a hot name. No one credited him with being the GSW offensive mastermind.

It's bitch about refs and coaching, but only if there is a loss.
Davis and Cousins are 4th and 6th in the league in FTA. Do refs miss calls? Of course. Are the Pels getting hosed every night? Not even close.
Coaching staff is mediocre, at best. This roster is also mediocre, at best. Pels are on pace for a mediocre win total. Why is that so upsetting?
The thought that a genius coach could take this roster and make it a contender is as delusional as the idea that the Pels never get any calls.
Your Gentry claims are false. He earned praise for his work in LA and GS. Was he thought of as a top tier coach? Not at all, but he was respected across the league. Of course there were reasons to be skeptical.
The ultimate irony for this board is the pining for Monty, also a mediocre coach. He got the exact same threads Gentry gets. Now it's how Monty overachieved and always had his guys ready to play.
This board often has no clue what it is talking about, myself included

Yeah, people want change for the sake of change and never trusted Gentry so assume any coaching change has to improve the team. That just gives way too much credit to the impact most coaches have. The players and the injury curse are the things that are most wrong with this team.

Yeah. I'd love to have Pop or Stevens or Carlisle or Spo in NO. But those guys aren't just springing out of someone's forehead all the time.
And they don't exist in a vacuum.
This team is fine. They have issues, but they're doing okay given roster, injuries, etc. Wish they were better, and maybe they can coalesce some more, but I'd be happy with even just an 8 seed

I was convinced when they decided to retain Gentry and Demps. We need Fiz and Dumars.

I wish we would have not fired Monty because I knew Demps was going to frick up the hiring of a new coach. Sure enough he did.

quote:What universe were you in back when he was hired? You clearly recall incorrectly. He was never a "hot" candidate. He was only mentioned one other place as a potential, but never interviewed. The hot candidate was Thibs back then. Others such as JVG and Calipari were mentioned in connection with Pels. All 3 of those candidates wanted power that would have affected Demps' status with the Pels. He did not want that.

Interestingly, Lauscha was leaning toward Van Gundy, but theydeferred to Demps, It seems.
