    "We just made shots. A whole lotta shots. Pretty much any shot we wanted. Told the guys to just keep shooting until they stop us."
    -Luke Walton after the game.
    (Also Monty Williams, Alvin Gentry, Steve Clifford, whats his name in Atlanta.....)

    Hasn't won shit? Well he hasn't won a title but he's won division titles, won two playoff series without HCA, and made it to the WCF. Not bad.

    At this point, Wenyen would be a better starting 4 for us than Melo.

    It is bad considering we have the most talented player in our franchises 50 year history.

    Some people might say your criticism of him would make it seem like he's the worst coach in NBA history.

    I've said over and over I don't think he's a great coach.

    Well he's not a good coach. Probably not even an average coach if you're trying to contend.

    Just my personal opinion, this roster is bad, especially after the injuries, but while Stotts isnt a really good coach, I think the talent outside of Dame is pretty pathetic. Their Starters should be bench players for the most part. Melo is awful, Whiteside is a good Center but Miami sure doesnt miss him. Ariza couldnt even get on the court for Sacremento frequently. Their bench, outside of Trent hasnt played well. This season makes me annoyed at NO...

    He hasn't had the teammates that Drexler and Walton had though.

    Kings with 21 '3's a night after Baynes lit them up. I guess a defensive adjustment is just too much to ask.

    Considering he coached a team to the WCF despite losing his starting center, I'd say he's good enough to contend.

    the last two performance given their magnitude and the lack of any preparation is telling. he's bottom third in the league this year even w the injuries. look at what Indy is doing this year with all their guys hurt.

    we call out players for coasting after getting paid.

    same thing this guy is doing. got paid, had injuries and his built in excuse to take the year off.

    There was a smaller difference among teammates than the difference in level of play from those teams to what we saw tonight.

    He got carried to a WCF. Then we faced a true contender and he got exposed, just like the year before when we got swept in the first round as a 3 seed.

    lmao. excuses excuses.

    HE is the one playing Melo all these minutes. He is the one thinking Whiteside should play like Nurk. he's set in his ways and plays regardless of personnel and doesnt hold anyone accountable.

    Dude got paid and took the year off.
