    McCollum leads the league in miles traveled for the past few seasons. It's a testament to CJ's conditioning, but kind of damning when only 20% of his shots are of the catch and shoot variety. (For reference, Klay - 46%, Steph- 38%, Redick -41%)

    So for all that running around, he doesn't seem to get a lot of catch and shoot opportunities.

    Yup, it's always just been motion for the sake of motion: run a big circle from side line to side line, baseline to 3-point line. Basically run a box around 1/3rd of the court, but don't go inside the box. Think outside the box, maaaaan!

    The Stotts defenders will try to discredit any other coach.

    Only in terms of defensiveness. Stotts is more defensive in his post-game press conferences than he is as a coach.

    This is simply not true...the idea that liking someone means bashing everyone else is pretty shallow. I don't get that from Stotts supporters...many of his detractors seem over the top emo about him.....same with Olshey….I chalk it up to the fact that there are folks who will never like a "players" coach...they seem need a micro managing control freak at the helm. Stability in a franchise is way underrated from a long term perspective..everyone knows why you don't like him. Disagreeing with it seems to be the line in the sand...and it shouldn't be

    I thought you were saying the word was out on the "huge holes" in Udoka's defensive coaching abilities. You're talking about Messina?

    Okay, I should've said one specific Stotts defender.

    Stability also means the same ridiculous, fixable flaws year after year.

    This is Messina.
    Look though i have always and will always want Messina here if that option ever comes available. Just the very fact that he went to coach under Pop just to work on any possible defensive liabilities he might have had speaks volumes.
    How many Championship caliber coaches are willing to say i will go be an assistant coach and learn to be a better coach? You can only respect a guy like that.

    I think those are fair comments. He is a good regular season coach because he's consistent with his guys and has a solid plan and structure that the players understand. But when the playoffs come, some of that consistency transforms into predictability and inability to adapt to the other team scheming against you. It's kind of a double edged sword. Reminds me a lot of Jerry Sloan.

    Sometimes, it looks to me that Stotts is afraid to make changes because he doesn't want to hurt players feelings, i'm serious fams, I have no idea what else it could be. My little sister could see that Aminu was unplayable, Moe put up okay numbers but he was a zero threat neither against Denver or Golden State. And the Transition from Regular Season to Playoffs is too big for him

    It's amusing how a coach can take a team to the Conference finals and then get ragged on. It would seem that whenever a team had a bad season for little to no reason one would reserve such criticism.

    I don't think I'm ragging on him. I think you have to have a nuanced perspective when evaluating him as a coach. The point about playoff performance makes me re-evaluate my own criteria, and that I should more heavily weight that in the final analysis.
