He almost won NBA Coach of the Year 2 years ago. How is he not a good coach?

Yeah Jeff is an awesome coach!

10 points in the first quarter. I guess putting Warren back on the bench was a smart idea. Definitely a vote of confidence for Warren at the least right.

Spacing is terrible. Defense is terrible.

Our leading scorer has 2 points at the end of the quarter lol.

Didn't know the Suns were playing the 1972 Lakers tonight

at this point, there's no point in getting mad/frustrated. Just embrace the tank and hope for Simmons.

TJ played D at least. Of course his +\- will suck.

I was just thinking this. As much as I like Warren and Booker, I am guessing almost most everyone who follows the NBA would take Randle and Russell over them.

A few here said, if we don't have Markieff, we will be pretty terrible (unless we trade him for a great replacement or equally good player at minimum) but without Bledsoe we have to be among the worst.

I mean who on our team that is a vet who currently plays, is any better than most bench players on other teams? MAYBE Knight.

I try and take solace in watching the young guys and finally getting a good draft pick.

So I don't even like Goodwin but how can you play Weems over him? He's been a DNP a ton lately, anyone else thinks he is part of the Morris deal that surely is in place already?

Edit:as I am typing this he enters the game

At least with Warren starting you guys were watchable... Now it's just embarrassing.

Knowing our lotto luck we will miss out on him and this season will be in vain.

bwgood you do a good job keeping it real without going off the suicidal ledge. Mediating between the two extremes

Knight is great. He has so much potential. #greenfontposts

Shikinami · Post #95 » by **Shikinami** » Mon Jan 4, 2016 3:09 am

Now instead of Booker it's Archie Goodwin who is shooting .167 from 3.

So sorry you have this guy as coach...

I thought of the Washington Generals earlier. Not good.

He's an undiscovered Kyrie Irving in the making. Who cares if he's not a prototypical wing or floor general? His pure scoring abilities transcends position

Brandon Knight is truly awful these past few weeks

I'll be surprised if he is not fired after this game, but it comes down more to talent. There's not a lot you can do when told to make a **** sandwich and hope people like it.

Hmmm...

1. Has no offensive system (unless you count everybody standing around, or running back and forth flipping it to each other at the top of the key a "system").
2. Can not draw up a sideline inbounds play.
3. Does not know when to call a time out.
4. Can not manage the rotation (pulls the hot hand for no reason, benches the youngsters for the slightest mistake while letting the vets get away with constant buffoonery, the list goes on and on).
5. Does not command respect from the players.
6. Has lost the locker room.

Look, I like Jeff. He was a great player, is a GREAT shooting coach, and seems like a helluva nice guy. He lead us to an amazing season 2 years ago when everybody was counting us out and expecting us to be in the bottom 3. But the fact of the matter is that he has simply lost the team and he just isn't a very good head coach.
