At some point we need to be realistic about the guys that are actually on the court playing. Before people take that the wrong way, no that does not mean our stars suck and that we should trade them. But maybe they aren’t as good as we think they are. Both can be true.
Its funny ....I think our coaches have been fine most of our playoff runs
Brett out coached Spo and when we lost it was due to youth (Boston), Insane shots (Toronto), and of course injury (Boston again). His rigidedness on PNR and lust for DHO sucked and it was time for a new voice at the end but yeah in the playoffs he did what he could.
Doc is an **** who hated playing young guys but that seems to just be a coach thing. He didn't adjust well or quickly or at all but I also ask you...adjust to what? Doc probably had the most to do with our losses of our coaches due to him sticking with George Hill over Maxey or putting Danny on Trae but the next two years I felt like he did relent a bit. Still glad he's gone lol.
Nurse has been "fine" There are some actual adjustments...the thing is that not all of them will work. Going to playing Biid all second half backfired and I would have went to a small ball lineup to start the 4th but its also one of those things that is easy to say now. I would have played Council personally but I also wouldn't have played Payne and his little spark got us a nice lead. SO you win some you lose some
The common theme tho feels like each coach really don't have as much flexibility due to roster construction. Brett spammed DHOs because Ben was the only ballhandler for most of his run. Morey kept giving Doc corpses to overplay. And currently the team is carrying too much scuff imo. This doesn't absolve the players either as IMO I think Biid still thinks he can do it all and wants it this way with guys who only can shoot...but thats still up to the FO to save dudes from themselves.
But yeah coaching while not great isn't as high on the list of problems especially this year. Its just the easy go to for folks...just like just trading everyone is too.
