    I let time just play itself out, there was no need to respond initially.

    Thats not true. Like minutes are earned but with him he wont play them even if they have a good stretch of games.. literally why he got fired.

    Yes, Reed is as close to a sharpshooter as this team has. Certainly when compared to DFS who shoots worse than Amen on threes.

    It’s odd. Because we all think Reed is our best shooter, but he’s 6th on the team in 3pt%.

    You Ime Crank lickers are some of the most comical people known to man. Reed is the third best shooter % wise on high volume.
    It goes:
    1. Tari (44% on 4.4 attempts)
    2. Durant (40% on 6 attempts)
    3. Sheppard (38% on 6 attempts)

    Josh Okogie takes only 2 threes a game, wide open corner threes, whereas reed takes all sorts of threes. Tari also takes wide open corner threes, he doesn’t come of the dribble and shoot like reed does. Defenses also don’t gaurd Tari like they gaurd reed. He’s the only one on the perimeter outside of durant they will actively gaurd.

    and they want mike Malone lol. A guy who lost his locker room. Was divisive and kept arguing with management while losing the respect of players for being a harsh a$$hole. Underachieved after the title year. Yeah…definite winner there.

    Ime is a middle school level coach at best.

    Physicality. Hustle. They want it more. This is good for kids with developing brains. Not grown adults let alone professionals who know how to run sets, beat your shitty 2-3 zone, and coach offenses.

    Maybe imes brain never fully developed.

    Malone also had a better pg and a center that could shoot over 10 ft. Jokic and Malone didn’t win shi+ until year 8.

    And The donkey Poodoka would get smoked by an AAU team in a 7 game series.

    I'm okay with him for the interim. Definitely need maybe someone with some proven schematics (not necessarily a track record) for next year though. A Will Hardy type. Any great up and coming assistants out there that want a shot?

    lol i guess all the teams that hired him got it wrong. You apparently know more than them about coaching. I don’t get why fans do this. To call a professional who’s both played and coached at a high level “middle school” level knowledge is just not factual and disrespectful. Let’s stop ex agents people and say nonsense things. Like KD and Jason Kidd said, you all need to shut the hell up

    Poodoka was a trash player who would be working in mcdonald’s as we speak if he was 5’10”. That’s the reality. He hasn’t accomplished anything as a HC. A good DC assistant sure, but HC? You can’t blatantly ignore one side of the ball.

    uhhh.. he was hired as a HC by 1 other team (who also fired him)


    3rd string scrub when he played, looks like he still hasn't learned

    this is ignorant. Im sorry. Less than 1% of players make it to the NBA. Making it and playing in the league means you have what it takes to play at the highest level of basketball and a big achievement. Something you or I never accomplished. He also took a .500 team to the finals and likely would have won a ring with Holliday and porzingis if the scandal never happened. You’re diminishing his hard work and journey. This is why your belief is ignorant and hateful.

    Read my comments to the other guy.

    He also wasn’t fired for coaching performance so what’s your point here?

    NBA “scrubs” still played at a high level. They may not be as talented physically or had some of the technical knowledge as great players but they still made it and played and that’s an accomplishment. Let’s stop the hate bullshi+

    Very stupid. Then advocating for people like Malone who’s been a disaster after the championship title
