What will it take for Chauncey to get fired?

Actually a pretty good song as played out as it once was.

 

Is the angry dad thing working? Tonight, i saw Coach Billups getting mad at the young players for really no reason at all. Chauncey sure doesn't get that angry with the big contract ballers.

 

It will take you creating (yet) another fire Chauncey thread.

 

I just want to put this out there. Chauncey has coached this team to two wins against likely playoff teams in Brooklyn and Toronto, with limited resources (even more limited than the roster already is because guys are out). No one knows how good Chauncey could be as a head coach until given a roster that makes sense and he just hasn't been afforded that for one minute since he took this job.

 

These opening day rosters weren't horrible.

 

Both of these opening day roster was way too fucking small and sucked because of it. No one could have coached these rosters with that imbalance to a significant amount of wins in the regular season let alone meaningful wins in the playoffs.

Joe Cronin said that both rosters were flawed and he wanted to assess what he had between the start of the season and trade deadline to make big decisions. He ultimately made moves at both trade deadlines to tear those teams down and aim towards the following season or maybe at those points he was already aiming at a total rebuild. I hope Joe has the stomach for a total rebuild because I feel like a lot of fans do not.

 

I don't disagree they weren't optimal. That small roster got to the playoffs the year prior, and it was much less productive under Billups.

 

RoCos the biggest disappointment of a forward, I can remember.

 

Not worth multiple 1st round picks?

 

GM not worth his salt.

 

This is a disgrace of a thread. I think Chauncey is doing a good job and I’m glad he is the coach.

 

Haha, ya doubling down and going into a deeper hole. The joke is on him now lol

 

It’s pretty apparent that Chauncey coaches “better” when he plays veteran players who actually stick with his game plan. Imagine that. Last night, the Blazers were on point both offensively and defensively. This place goes nuts if he doesn’t play the young guys extensive minutes and then, when he does, calls for his head on a platter when they play like crap. Conflicted much?

 

But remember when Chauncey was hired and his record was terrible? Then the excuse was "the veterans don't listen but he's good for developing the young guys." I get that you qualified your claim with "who actually stick with his game plan" but part of being a good coach is MAKING SURE YOUR PLAYERS STICK WITH THE GAME PLAN.

So, who exactly makes up the ideal Chauncey team? Are we to believe he's really a great coach, just for players he's fated never to have?

 

I think a team of Brogdon-type vets:

“The most mentally tough guys in the league go through challenges and have to adjust with different teams in different roles while persevering regardless,” Malcolm Brogdon explained to HoopsHype. “My goal is to persevere no matter what role I’m put in.” “At times, it’s been tough, but there’s something very gratifying about coming to a team where your voice and leadership is really valued and you play a different role,” Brogdon told HoopsHype. “I’m embracing that role. I enjoy playing with these young guys. They’re hungry and want to win. They’re incredibly coachable. More than anything, I enjoy being under Chauncey’s wing and being coached by him. I have the most respect for him. He’s a guy I’d run through a wall for.”

 

Very.

 

We've heard this a lot over the past 3 years. A whole bunch of guys wanna run through a wall for Chauncey. I just wish they'd rebound for him instead.

 

His record was terrible when we hired him? What? This is his first coaching gig lol
