Dwight Jaynes suggests players may be tuning out Nate

..and they might be trying to get him fired. Is it plausible?

 

A coaching change won't fix anything if the pieces don't fit.

 

Something tells me if we got Poppovich or Phil Jackson we'd do a WEE bit better.

I don't think there are too many coaches currently available who would fix much, so I agree with you there.

Is it true Adelman only has a one year deal with Houston?

 

I think Jaynes was trying to scoop the Bald Face Liar, Canzano himself.

 

I agree with this, but also think Nate isn't a coach that get a team to the proverbial "next level." Andre needs to go anyway because there's simply no long-term future with him here.

 

Maybe. But how successful has Popovich been with Richard Jefferson? A bad fit is a bad fit. Another thing that you need to consider is that Phil Jackson for the most part, rarely gets players who don't fit his system. When he has a player who doesn't fit, they get shipped out. See Vladimir Radmonavich. Maybe it has a lot more with the management and the coaching staff being on the same page, rather than disconnected.

 

Where have I heard that before?


it doesn't matter, Dwight has no idea what he is talking about since he isn't 100% pro Balzers 100% of the time

 

I hate it when I am not Balzers!

 

Jefferson is killing it so far this year unfortunately.

Popvich >>>> Nate.

It's not even close.

 

6 years is a pretty long run in the NBA, that's a long time to listen to one voice. Are they tuning him out? Who knows, but even if they are, an interim coach isn't likely to right this ship, the parts don't seem to quite fit together.

 

Six years for who? Lots of turnover of the players means who? Pryz is tuning out Nate? Very doubtful.

5th year for Roy and Aldridge. This is where there might be some friction. Anybody know what these two REALLY think?

 

Six year run for a coach -- that's a long time.

EDIT:
What I mean isn't that every player on the roster has been under Nate for that long, but the extent to which a coach maintains the trust of his players usually hinges on getting them to buy into what he's selling. If the team starts to get to the point where they no longer believe in that voice or direction -- even if a player hasn't been there for every minute of his tenure -- it's not uncommon for players to tune a coach out.

I don't despise Nate like some do, but I think it's reasonable to expect him to wear out his welcome at some point ... maybe that's happening now

 

Nate strength is his ability to get guys to buy into the system and play hard. If he has lost that, he has lost his biggest asset to this team, IMO.

And if one was going to judge by last night's game, either Roy is hurt or the coach has lost the leader of the team.

 

OR Roy doesn't like playing with Miller and/or someone else on the team. I think the rest of your post is spot on! Repped.

 

I just have to add...

BNM suggests fans may be tuning out Dwight Jaynes.

Seriously, who listens to this guy anymore? Although I'd love to see Nate and his totally predictable, unimaginative, easily scouted offense go, it's not going to happen during the season unless the team totally takes a nose dive and is in danger of missing the play-offs. And, I don't want that to happen, so we're stuck with Nate, for now.

Dwight Who?

 

You guys are focusing too much on the messenger instead of the message. It's not revolutionary to suggest that a listless team is tuning its coach out.
