What I like to complain most about the coaching is that they don't seem to recognize (or simply choose to neglect) the strength (or comfort zone)...
Kyle Lowry came out in the media last year and criticized McHale; Dragic wanted to get out. Harden, wait til the end of the season.
Well said.
Well said. I would like to add some more: playing G. Smith and M. Morris out of their natural positions; Knowing we have two best PnR guards but...
Well said ! I have a speculation that McHale doesn't know guards' game well enough and is not comfortable with the complexity of PnR.
I have long suspected that the coaches don't know guards' game well enough and tend to oversimplify things at both ends. For example, Smith and...
Kind of.. There seems to be a pattern that every time we face an elite defense (OKC, Spurs, Heat etc) we quickly quit our team ball, and stick to...
Miami has a track record of shutting down perimeter players if you look at the scores of the opposing PGs for this season. Last time even CP3 just...
This is like what happened after we blew out Chicago, fewer picks after a win or two. The coaches always seem to forget it from time to time.
Well said. The coaches are certainly not the ones who seem to coach the perimeter game well. Once we fail against elite defense, we turn into our...
Agree. The coaches and players were somewhat underestimating the Bobcats, like some new experimental rotations.
Win or loss, I like how we played in the first half with the starters on the floor, so fluid and fun to watch.
Today's game is a little unusual due to the weakness of our bench. We got 10+ leads twice during the first half only to see them slip away. As a...
Well said. I kept on saying that it's not right to ask 2Pat camp outside the 3pt line and I am glad the coaches made the adjustment. 2Pat and the...
Harden was sleeping in defense in the first half but doing great in both ends in the second half. Lin and Parsons were doing brilliantly the first...
It is most worrisome that the coaches seem to be afraid of holding Harden responsible, and overuse him to gamble for short term wins. Harden is...
Well said. You don't need a stretch 4 to camp outside the 3pt line. The coaches seem to allow 2Pat to shoot midrange 2's during recent games,...
I am afraid your first choice is likely to become true. The coaches like to regress back to experimenting their system whenever we face teams...
It's possibly true. I notice that even Harden had poor FT% lately along with other players.
That's funny, definitely a lack of confidence about his own game plan.
