I know people seem to think you need to bring in a big name. No. i would happily trade Dantoni for an unsung college coach who preaches effort and fundamentals. when you’re down 5 closing the game and you have possession after possession with the opposing defense in shambles and scrambling. And. The. Only. Thing. You. Can. Do. Is shoot 3s even though you’re shooting a woefully embarrassing percentage for the 5th game in a row..... sorry but ya gots to go coach.
This is the first season since the 2014-2015 that I have no interest in watching. Too many scrub players and a star who can’t shoot. Add in the lack of defense. This is pathetic.
You are a fool if you think this team is doing anything or going anyplace. Lower the expectations and this season will be easier to swallow. No way they get any better than a 6th seed.
They need to be able to play defense for 4 quarters like that every game. I dont know why Clint was benched for Chandler so much.
While true, one could also say the Rockets would have won if Harden didn’t jack up 16 threes, either.
Never expect a title out of 'Antoni coached team. Serious question: When is the last time you can look at an 'Antoni coached series and say "Mike had a hell of a gameplan and made great adjustments." Championships are as much about the coach as the players.
Yup think I am gonna start skipping games at this point, better for my blood pressure and my anxiety.
How can you play Eric Gordon 28 minutes while Austin and Clint log only 16? How can you suck this bad on perimeter defense all season long on and not give *any* minutes to Thabo, or Gary Clark? I get the coaching Harden is a challenge, but D'Antoni has to react to the persistent problems this season.
