That has always been his issue, it is compounded by him being bad at making sure there's something left in the tank for the end of the season.
The guy literally blamed the players for not having conditioning that was up to par after he ran them into the ground, in the Knicks series. If i was Jb's boss and heard that, i would fire him immediately for the lack of accountability from a leader. And if i was Jb's bosses boss and he didn't fire him after i heard those comments, i would fire them both for being spineless and lacking what it takes to win in the NBA, when it counts.
But you'll never get anywhere with Jb apologists, there's always an excuse.
The problem is you're simultaneously criticizing JBB for
- not having his star players in good enough shape to not get tired on an ordinary star player load of 35-36 minutes a game (which is where Garland and Allen are since the ASB)
- playing his players too much
You know how you get in better shape? Either you do a ton of off-court cardio, or you play through being tired in games. One or the other. But a lot of it is part of the physical maturation process that older guys can manage better than younger guys.
The entire point is play more guys and don't run them into the ground, messaging I've been very consistent on through the years.
To blame that series loss on his player's conditioning is a flat out coward move and the dude said it with a straight face wholeheartedly believing his own BS.
How about play more guys Jb? How about gameplan better in the 10 days leading up to the series so your players aren't getting beat up all series?
As I've said, i have zero confidence in Jb to ever have post season success. Until he's gone the Cavs are a treadmill team, stuck in limbo.
Ik the rebuttal is gonna be wait until next month, which I'm fine with. Let's wait until next month to watch the same BS for the 3rd season in a row. Issue is there will still be an excuse if/when they bow out early.
