If it was the night they got eliminated I'd be upset but not Monday night.

Also they had to know Thibs was fired by then especially since BKE and others had gotten leaks about it

I'm the new coach and I'd be telling the team KAT is to shoot at least 5 3s a game, anything less and the whole team runs suicide including the scrubs and assistant coaches and trainers who don't play lmao


KAT needs to learn to set a screen then


came to say this. thank you!

if he sets screens and JB doesn't hit him on a pop or roll, then we can hold cap accountable.

imagine a world where they could do that... and the other three guys are moving. the havoc they could wreak.


This is something I don't understand. How can you on the one hand clear everyone in sight out for a rebound and on the other screen like your opponent is covered in ricin?

TBH, it is outrageous it basically never happened this past season. We all would have been slobbering like idiots for well executed PnR action between Brunson and KAT. I still cannot believe this was not utilized. Everyone was speculating initially about how lethal that would/could/should be for good reason. That alone is justification to can Thibs. There's simply no excuse for it


thibs didn't tell them not to do it. KAT can't screen.

This season, only the Oklahoma City Thunder and Orlando Magic were better defensively than the Clippers, and no team was better on the defensive glass despite the Clippers finishing 24th in that category a year ago.

Van Gundy was the catalyst for that.

“Every year, we kind of mentioned that we’re a bad defensive transition team, a bad defensive rebounding team,” said center Ivica Zubac, who was the only player in the NBA this season to grab at least 1,000 rebounds and finished seventh in defensive rebounds per game (8.9). “That was something I wanted to get better at, something I can directly control. And JVG, beginning of the season, pushed me a lot, pushed the whole team a lot. Gotta be better in those two areas.”

Zubac said that Van Gundy was “treating every game like it’s playoffs.” And this season, the Clippers weren’t just good overall defensively; they were consistent.

In the first quarter of the season, the Clippers had the fifth-best defense in the league. From Dec. 6 to Jan. 24, the Clippers had the second-best defense. The Clippers slipped from Jan. 25 to March 9, ranking 16th. But from March 10 through the end of the regular season, the Clippers had the NBA’s third-best defense.

Now that it’s the playoffs, Zubac said that Van Gundy “went to the next level of locked in.” Perhaps that was on display when Van Gundy and longtime Clippers trainer Jasen Powell were wrestling for the ball with Denver center Nikola Jokić late in the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the Clippers-Nuggets first-round series.

“I saw some memes out there with JVG,” said Lue, who claims not to be active on social media. “But I mean, the ball came to him. He didn’t take it from Joker. The ball came to him, he was going to give it to the referee. When you’re competitive and somebody tries to snatch the ball from you, you’ve got to hold on to it, so I guess that’s what JVG did.”


As locked in as Van Gundy has been on the bench, that’s how locked in Clippers defenders have been when they have played their best in April.

During the regular season, two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard remarked in his first game back that Van Gundy told players, “Nobody watches this s— more than me.”

In the playoffs, Leonard has been motivated by his team’s renewed defensive spirit.

“I have to give credit to my coaching staff, starting with JVG, just being focused on that end,” Leonard said last week. “Coming in with a passionate, aggressive mindset for us all. And it kind of (trickles) down to us. And then from there, there’s guys on the floor that want to guard. They’re not just pointing at me and telling me to take them.


https://www.nba.com/news/the-athletic-jeff-van-gundy-clippers-defense


Well if he wants a challenge JVG should take on the same role with the Knicks of Towns and Brunson
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

we know you hate him. he gone, bro. he not coming back.

think of all the strange things in KAT's game no one has been able to coach him to do yet. screening is one of those things.

he's been a **** screener for 10 years. he's been hooking arms for no damn reason for 10 years. i love the man, but there's a laundry list. sam mitchell. ryan saunders. finch. thibs twice. it's him, man. we take the bad with the good.

crazy part is this was arguably his best season with the LEAST of his negatives on display.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.
