It's pathetic, I still haven't read one single coaching reason on why people think he's bad in this thread. It's all just a mash of blind uneducated hating, I don't get it.
Uhhh, I'm not on the firespo-wagon but there's been statements regarding confusion from several players. I think five players on record. Spo is on record saying the offense is "give it to Dwyane and get the hell out of the way". There's bad habits that haven't been broken that carried on from the previous season, and we're the worst second half team in the nba by a LARGE margin.
If you don't agree with getting him fired for whatever your reasons are, fine. But don't parade around baiting for angry responses after this team with this much talent missed the playoffs in the weakest conference in a while, by a hair. If we won those games where we blew double digit leads in the second half, we would be in sixth place right now. Maybe even fifth.
In my opinion, it's too easy to blame the coach, yet, it's too easy to throw the injury excuse (which led to 30 different starting lineups) his way. So I don't care about that. We need better and new assistant coaches though. And get rid of Mario Chalmers and replace him with a great quality combo guard.
Give me ONE coaching reason why you think he is bad, please. Humor me.
Did you read anything you quoted? I never said he was a bad coach. I am not on the firespo bandwagon. I highly doubt his plan after we got the best pick and pop guard in Dragic, was to have his max contract player who happens to be the best pick and pop big, get knocked out for the year. In spite of all the confusion and such, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt. I wholeheartedly think our offense was going to shift to Dragic & Bosh as the go-to attack with spurts of Wade and Whiteside complimenting and with tons of cutting by everyone else. The spacing by Bosh and Dragic alone was going to hurt teams badly with Wade and Whiteside in single coverage against their respective defenders in prime post position. Just chaos to defend overall. You wouldn't be able to double team anyone.
He couldn't adjust as well as what would have been ideal but he's proven to make things happen when he has talent. But he needs better guidance pushed among his players because these assistant coaches are not getting through to them, hence the bad habits. But fired? After an injury riddled season with d-leaguers and scrubs and 30 different lineups? After four straight finals? No. Not in my opinion anyway.
