Still don’t understand the 3 guard line-ups particularly in clutch moments though.
why are you on this forum then?
I will expand if you like. They have actually tried most of the things I thought they should, if not for as long as I thought they should have done in some cases, so I see no point railing against what may mainly be a consequence of the aging of the veteran players and the NBA equalisation rules, and a resultant roster which couldn’t contend however they were coached.
As I said I don’t see any justification for running 3 guard line-ups in the crucial moments of games however, in this or any other universe, particularly if the guards concerned are small, slow or old, and not uncommonly possessed of all 3 of those characteristics.
even though I welcome your answer, the question referred to the statement "who am I to say how an NBA team should be coached?" to which you agreed.
if this is the principle then this board, actually the whole Real GM forum, should be shut down forever. because only NBA coaches, former NBA coaches, NBA players and former NBA players would be entitled to talk about NBA basketball, criticize or make observations. which, with all the due respect, is a silly argument to make in a forum. hence the question what are you doing here? if you think like that.
on a side note, actually think the very opposite. basketball and sport in general belong to the fans. the fans are the ones who pay for the tickets, the TV subscriptions, the merchandise and whatnot and basically allow all the people involved in the business to make business. without the fans who love the game and watch the game, the kerr of this world wouldn't earn millions of $$ to coach, the curry of thie world wouldn't earn millions of $$ to play. so fans have all the right to cheer and plaude when they are happy with a team performance, level of play or direction the team is heading to so to criticize - ofc within reason, without going off in insults or racial, religious, sexual and similar slurs - when they are not happy with a team performance, level of play or direction the team is heading to.
