yea, I said it...
Agreed 100%. Its the same as Doc Rivers. They have great players which makes them a great team. And thus making the coach look like a genius, while taking the team for a ride. IMO the players tuned him out earlier on in the season. I had a feeling he might have been let go, but damn this was fast.

I will give AJ this compliment and I only say it because it's true, he has a profound ability for getting through to his guys and his team always seems prepared for games, especially when they face teams they might have lost to previously.
I don't think the loss of this particular series was his fault...sure coaches take blame and they are usually ahead of the line...
as far as his strategies, style of play and his x's and o's...meh

I think this is dumb. Head coaches get fired way too often, too early, in today's pro sports.
Take a look at the list of recent COY winners going back to, say, Doc Rivers. Almost every one of them were fired within 1-3 seasons afterwards. The Suns coach is likely to be out as well, even after 4 straight 50-win seasons and a couple of playoff series victories. Incredible.
When's SVG going to be gone?
The faster the success is, it seems, the quicker you're out once the team hits a dryspell.

I wonder if he'll find a new job before next season.
But like Greer said, no one is going to get far with that team the way it's currently constructed. To me, it wasn't really made to fit around Dirk's game. They need to build around Dirk, not just throw good players around him and hope for the best.
