Boston at Detroit

[vic]

SVG hasn't had a starting PG for 3 years now. Every year, Jackson gets injured or Brandon Jennings. I still believe in him, he's just unlucky. It sucks to watch the worst talent at PG try to shoot from 3. Our PGs suck really bad

Unlucky? It's not unlucky if you know it happens every year. It's called stupidity.

He's completely dependent on the pg position, and he has nonsense fetishes for pgs that he likes.

In 2008 Jameer Nelson got injured and Rafer Alston took them to the finals. DURING THE SERIES Jameer came back from injury and they didn't win any more games!

Last year SVG let Reggie Jackson come back and ruin the flow after an injury and destroyed the whole season.

Reggies injury proneness was the main reason I wanted him to draft Donovan Mitchell.

2018 he brings back Jameer Nelson 10 years later!

If he wasn't such a quote giver to the media this guy would have the reputation of a clown. The media loves him, and Gores buys all his control freak Big mouth talk that's the only reason he has a job.

Why else would a coach who's alienated every Alpha NBA player that he's ever played with have a job in a league where you actually need Alpha players to win?

This lack of vision and bad decision making is not unlucky, it's a pattern! His dependency on injury prone fetish point guards is who he is! That's why he loses, period. It's the old same story, it's not unlucky, it's who he is!

SVGs next NBA job is going to be in the media with his brother, commentating and talking, because that's what he's good at

Bad owner bad coach = Bad team

Boston's top 5 defense against our bottom 5 offense. Should be awesome.

Note: I don't know if we actually have a bottom 5 offense. But, it sure looked that way heading into the all star break.

FWIW Boston has a lower offensive rating than we do.

Not respond after the fact, but, well, it sure didn't prohibit Boston from scoring 110 against us.

But, to be fair, we've been a pretty horrible defensive team the last 3-4 weeks as well.

Bad owner bad coach = Bad team

My opinion of Gores is so wildly low, that I don't know if I can truly judge SVG's team president performance without having an asterisk next to it. Gores wanted him to start winning in season 1, so tanking and rebuilding through the draft was never an option for him.

He had to do it on the fly. Which, as we all know, very rarely works unless you get some truly amazing long shot luck.

That said, SVG still targeted and overpaid bad and/or useless players like Jon Leuer, Boban (even though we love the guy), and Galloway. His drafting has been all misses thus far as well. But, Kennard over Mitchell was the only mistake we pretty much knew was a mistake the moment it happened. Johnson was a mistake after the fact. Dinwiddie and Ellenson, I'm not going to harp on.

But, that's also in addition to the fact that his coaching has been pretty subpar overall. I liked the motion offense he converted to this year. But, he doesn't have the players to actually excel in that system (his own fault, as they're the players he acquired). But, I do like it, and think it would work better if he actually had players who could shoot. But, when it's not working (often), he's so rigid, he can't re-direct a strategy on the fly at all. His in-game adjustments are almost none existent, he just starts flipping out when things aren't going his way.

All that said, I still think this team is stuck in perpetual mediocrity while Gores is the owner. Even if we somehow walk a$$ backwards into a star player, he'll F it all up and ruin it.
