see, this is the kinda stuff I'm talking about and I hate it so much. Why did he need to have a talk with Wall when Wall himself said after the game that he shot too much and Wall is one of the most pass 1st guys in the league? It didnt need to be addressed. Even his critics would tell you that he wasnt going to play like that again anytime soon. All Witt is doing is going to make Wall play super passive, look to pass non stop and take away his aggression just like he did to start the season when we were 2-7. Wall has still be pretty efficient until last game even after that crappy start and can run an Offfense even while getting 20+. Dont take that away from him. He's always overstepping and being conservative.

The games upcoming are huge and they are John Wall type games. Teams like the Suns & GS play the kinda style that Wall can go for an efficient 30 against but he might not even attempt to because of this idiot. The fact is we are much better when he is aggressive and he's not a Kobe, MJ, KD typer scorer where you can say to get guys involved 1st and then try to score later. He's not that type of scorer. Just let him play his game which is pass 1st anyways Witt, you idiot.

If you want to tell guys something then tell Wall & Beal to attack the rim more. Everything he does is the wrong thing. He ether doesnt say nothing when they are shooting those long stupid 2's or he's saying something like this about Wall when he has one game when he shoots too much even though he's always a pass 1st guy and already addressed it himself in the post game. Idiot idiot idiot

Hahahaha is that the new thing now? Blame Whitman for everything...blame him for Wall clanging shots, Beal not attacking the hoop, Nene missing shots, Gortat being soft, Seraphin and Ves sucking, etc.

I don't hold Whitman in high regards but solely blaming him for the lack of smart, efficient basketball by the players on this team is counterproductive. The blame for this team goes to everyone involved, from the owner to the GM to the coaching staff to the players.

This team is bad, and it's bad for more than one reason.

B.S.

He's not getting the most out of our talent, the system is designed for jump shots no matter what you think, and he obviously isnt holding these guys accountable enough for not driving the ball. Also, yes I dont like the coach telling our best player to put an emphsasis on something he already does every game anyways.

Yea believe what you want to believe, but the roster isn't good. If you think just changing the coach makes this a good team, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale I want to show you...

When Sam Cassell comes out and says he's been trying to get Wall to shoot more long 2's - which he has, it's hard to ignore the culpability of the coaching staff.

It might not be Mia-Ind good but its better than 20-21 with the schedule we have had in this weak conference

Was Cassell trying to get Wall to shoot more long 2s or more midrange 2s? I think it was the latter. I like the way Wall's short jumper is improving. He needs that as a weapon in his arsenal. The shot has served the best PG in the game, Chris Paul, pretty well. Paul takes very few 3s.

I recall Cassell taking Wall to Clippers playoff games in 2012 so that John could observe Paul.

More LONG twos? I doubt he said that. Either way, I already pointed out that this coaching staff is very weak. My point is that the teams problems go beyond coaching.

That's obvious and nobody is disputing that. But you can't convince me that there aren't roster flaws, injuries, and a lack of talent in certain areas on teams such as Phoenix, Atlanta, and Toronto, yet they're coaches are getting more out of those rosters than Randy is here.
