His turnovers have been terrible and his handles are a bit off at times. Last game you ran high screens or screens on Lopez, tonight you get "give it to kd".. I know Nash was hired because he's Kds guy and it allowed him and Kyrie to do whatever they wanted but dude is a trash coach LOL. Hey let's get down 16 and then call a timeout! how about you call it in the middle of the run you dumbass?
The offense is give to the stars and let them figure it out. I understand player empowerment and ego, but I’m beyond pissed that:
1) Marks allowed his friend to skip the coaching line because he thought Nash’s EQ was more valuable than other coach’s IQ for this team
2) MDA fooled us into believing that he actually gave a damn. I’ve never seen him more relaxed than on our sideline. Granted he is an assistant coach, but he was named the coach of the offense. He has done jack ****.
It’s inexcusable how inefficient we are on offense. Superstar ISOs are supposed to be a ancillary bonus to the offense, not the whole offense itself.
Like I said earlier, when Nash praised the team for getting back into the game (when in reality it was only due to a short spurt of Harden’s individual brilliance) and then said “if you don’t have the shot, just swing the ball or the weak side” it confirmed all of my suspicions. We don’t really run stuff. We just read and react out of ISOs. We got through the regular season solely due to the ungodly concentration of offensive talent that comes when we have just two stars playing, let alone 3.
We cannot win a championship with this level of ineptitude on offense. Our defensive schemes aren’t great either but at least that can be partly blamed on the fact that we don’t have the personnel to be an elite defensive team.
I want MDA gone and an offensive assistant who actually reads the defense and adjust to be hired.
I can’t imagine Marks firing Nash, so I won’t fantasize about that happening.
