It's got to be the coach, right?

I'm very hesitant to blame a coach for losing games. There's a ton of factors that happen on the court that I know i'm not even aware of. With that being said, i do know a few things.
We've lost a lot of close games this season without any play called to win. It seems when the game is close the only things gentry does is give the ball to BI or Jrue and let the run in a circle to try and take a shot. There's no play to get them space or anything.
In the game against the Suns, Lonzo was Visibly exhausted at the start of OT and Gentry didn't pull him.
We're taking way too many three point shots IMO, but that's Gentry's game plan. Which works fine if you've got Steph Curry taking them (which he had in GS), but it's worthless with this lineup.
We've got talent to develop, and I'm not upset that we're losing with a young. I'm upset that we're losing very winnable games by lack of preparation, and that's a coaching issue.
And that's not even counting that he's averaging something like .8 technical fouls per game. one of which was in the suns game. take away his technical and we win in regulation.

Our issues are 100% coaching...we literally crumble in every close game. Athleticism and good players can win you 90% of a game, but the 10% that matters is all on the coach.
