That’s a real coach folksssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I like Kenny, him being a fellow New Yorker but the guy has never even won a playoff series as a head coach. Talk to me when he at least makes it to the second round.


I feel like that's an incredibly dense take. None of his teams have been anywhere near as talented as his current roster. He seems like a different coach to me, honestly. His years in GS did him well. No coincidence Cavs with nearly the same roster as last season is balling out. I have no choice but to continue to hope Thibs show some of that adaptability I gave him credit for last season, because I don't think Kenny's approach is wrong. Daigneault seems like he's doing the same thing.

The 6 games following this one is a bit of a tough stretch.

OKC
MIL
DET
@PHI
MIN
ATL

The home games are a good thing but, if we are playing like we have been, that crowd is gonna get restless and angry.

He never had a good roster to do so. He only coached BK A few years and that was it.

Taking a roster to the playoffs with D'Angelo Russell as your best player is an incredible feat of coaching.

That roster had no business in the playoffs..much less even winning a single game against that star-studded Sixers team :rofl:

Funny how not having enough talent is a valid excuse when it comes to Kenny Atkinson all of a sudden

The actual discussion is about how he got a weak team to the playoffs. Keep in mind he was only a HC for 3.5 seasons in BKN and they were a tank level team when he was there. Where's the lie?

I did not accuse anyone of lying, in fact that is a credible take. I do find it interesting that Kenny is praised for losing with an undertalented team while other coaches in similar situations are derided for not being able to win with their lacking rosters.

Its a good thing Quick doesnt have his shot back yet. Hes been a much better facilitator for them since his return from injury though its too early to tell.

Imagine IQ and Divo still on our bench along with Deuce. Man that would have been fun to watch.
Fire Thibs!
