You guys disgust me.
Stop blaming coaching every time we suck.

Terry bringing the ball up and Deron playing off ball...yeah, we've never had our SG handle the ball and play Deron off-ball before...or maybe, it was just Terry making a mistake, and not really the coach's fault? Terry used to play PG, he's got a good handle. That could have easily been Deron turning the ball over...then everyone would be complaining about how Deron should have played off-ball, with Wall harassing him like that.
The fact of the matter is, if Lopez didn't needlessly help on the Wall drive at the end of regulation and kept a body on Nene, we win the game. If Garnett hit a few of his wide open jumpers, we win the game. If Deron didn't turn the ball over like crazy, we win the game.
You guys are so determined to blame coaching at every turn, and I say that as someone that actually has blamed the coaching a lot over the last couple of years, and will probably blame the coaching in the future. But tonight's not really the night to do it. A prime example of this are all of the people that were incredulous at Terry's shot at the end of regulation, criticizing Kidd for drawing up such a bad play. Really, that was a bad play? One of our best shooters got a wide open, straight on look. You were expecting something better with 1 second left?

The sky isn't falling. Tomorrow is a chance to redeem this loss and get a quality win. So, no reason to over think these games.
Offensively, it feels like they have established Brook as the go to guy. It's now about getting everyone to do their jobs and step up.
The only positives tonight was the bench and Brook. I don't see KG, Paul or Deron playing this poorly for 77 games.
I'll be more worried if they play this lazy against a contender.

I dont think its wrong to blame the coaching when you have a unit that gave you a 20 point swing (turned a 9 point deficit into an 11 point lead) take them off the floor, watch the guys who blew a 15 point lead early blow that 11 point lead and continue to roll with that lineup.
