Why our defense has been so good this season

I think he is talking about those that said "fire stotts" after a loss to the Kings. Where you one of them? If not, then it's moot.

BNM wasn't saying "we are legit!" He was making fun of those wanting Stott's head after a loss. If you were one that wanted his head, then why would one loss count but you aren't swayed off one win?

 

So, what exactly is your opinion that you are waiting to change. Do you think Stotts should be fired and are giving him until late December or early January to change your mind? Or do you think Stotts is the right man for the job, unless the wheels fall of and we're below .500 and struggling come late December or early January.

I understand the wait and see approach, it's only been 5 games, but what is you current opinion and what will it take to change it?

And staying connected. Gotta stay connected.

 

Kaman's post game interview was the best ever! "it was up and down in the beginning, then we just stepped on their throat and finished them off"...Right out of Conan the Barbarian

 

My opinion - which I developed last season - is that he isn't good enough to lead us to a championship. It wasn't based on a single (SAC) loss, and it won't be changed by a single win - or multiple wins. The only way it'll change is over the course of a season as I see development and changes that contradict what I already think/know about him.

Basically, I think his entire philosophy is flawed. Last season he said that he wanted to (a) limit the opponent's 3-point attempts and (b) give up the mid-range shots. Yet his entire offense was (is?) built around the very shot his defense was designed to give up - and his defense did a terrible job at doing what he wanted it to do. So far I do like what I'm seeing defensively, but other than a few small changes I think the most drastic change is (a) effort and (b) personnel. I still think he's the offensive equivalent of Nate McMillan. He hasn't really designed good go-to plays, he just relies on good offensive players to free-lance on a loosely built system. He has better offensive results than Nate had with defense, but that's because the majority of players are more adept at playing offensive basketball than defensive basketball. But neither Stotts nor Nate are/were "geniuses" at what they specialize in.

 

No offense intended (seriously), but based off this statement it seems pretty clear that you've never played basketball.
Sure, there has to be a collective understanding of what to do on the defensive end, but without verbal communication it all falls apart. Verbal communication is the #1 most important aspect of playing team defense.
