Should Chauncey be on the hot seat?

Bad coaches get less out of their roster than they should.

Average coaches get average production from their roster.

Good coaches get more from their roster than they should.

Chauncey is not a good coach. He is either average or bad, too soon to tell until the talent improves.

Not on the hot seat now but if the roster improves and these issues persist, yeah, he’s gone.

(FWIW Stotts was also average).
 
Not even 1.5 seasons in and people are wondering if he should be fired.

As some of us were saying 2 years ago, the assumption that a coaching change was likely to result in significant improvement was simply wishful thinking.

Stotts wasn't the problem. Billups isn't the problem.

Maybe because hiring a rookie head coach was a bad idea for a team that needed to win now?
 
Bring in George Karl....he has that Seattle tie
 
It helps when you get more than 3 points from your bench. Maybe get the man a decent bench player first?
 
it's valid to question Billups, but also really early. Yeah, the roster has issues

but Chauncey's defense is way too inconsistent and the offense is disorganized. I'd say a lot of the turnover issues are due to trying to fit square pegs into round holes and that disorganization

Going from an established coach to an inexperienced one seemed to be what many wanted (fresh blood, no retreads), but it didn't make a ton of sense to me.

At the time, we had a GM who was going to be starting from a limited pool of canidates: His few friends/his agents guys. We had/have an unstable ownership situation. We had a flawed roster.

Given all those factors, that was why I was on record that a change was unlikely to result in significant improvement.
 
Fire his ass
 
Yes, Chauncey should be nervous about his job but he's not getting fired now..if they improve the roster at the deadline and we still can't close games...then off season I'd say he might get walking papers. They'll give him some rope for now though
 
The starting unit is healthy. Why is Josh Hart standing in the corner?
He's no threat there. Simons would be a huge threat. So would Dame.
Hart would be good/great bringing the ball up the court and attacking if there is a hole in the defense and getting rid of it quickly if that isn't there. The defense would have to help off of Grant/Lillard/Simons/Nurk.
Instead, we see Simons dribbling the clock down while waiting for Lillard to get to his spot.

However, Any other coach would probably be doing the same things as Billups so what's the point of changing coaches.
 
Let's see what the team looks like with a healthy bench.

Stotts got a team with Aminu and Harkless as starters, and Enes Kanter starting in the playoffs, to the WCF! By your own definition that makes him a fucking awesome coach. (All 3 of them are out of the league now.)
