    Forgotten because it's not true, otherwise Calipari would have every NCAA title.

    ...despite having demonstrably less talent.

    Making the playoffs every year is never “stale” As we are currently seeing FAMS. The dudes on here that would babble that bullshit about “I’d rather tear it down and start over than not getting out of the first round” Well we are currently seeing that as well FAMS! Hope they are enjoying it.

    I watched Billups coaching Rupert last night on the sidelines. He still has the team listening. He is still working to make players better.
    I'm not done with Chauncey yet. We may see a very good team here with him as coach. He certainly has Scoot and Ayton working pretty well together.

    I think we’re oversimplifying that moment in time a bit here. And I say that as someone who wasn’t a huge fan of the Chauncey pick.

    I will allow that it's hard to win games with NO talent.

    Like Unseld and Clifford this yr, i am fully anticipating Chauncey to transition to a front office role this summer. Don't think he's ready to coach yet.

    He was previously in contention for the Cavs' GM job before withdrawing. Think he has some level of interest in that capacity.

    I actually like his vision and big picture ideas, but he has done a very shitty job of implementing it on the floor. And we have seen little if any improvement on the details in coaching.

    I figure he should get ( at least some of the) credit for Banton's progress. Perhaps BOS was just not spending enough time on him? And understandably so, they are, after all, a fave to take the whole shebang. Plenty of teams are probably thinking Banton is a solid player with exceptional length and mobility. Drives to the rim well and shoots pretty nice too.

    3 years and pretty much 3 totally different rosters while being told to sit his best players.
    Not sure how there could be any improvement at this point?

    Any take on Billups ability to coach seems vague at best.

    Well the team is lost, it's just that he's lost along with it.

    Billups gets no more credit for Banton’s “progress”, than he does blame for Scoot’s LACK of it.

    This isn’t a “team: FAMS….this is a collection of G-Leaguers and injured vets.

    Good preparation for Chauncey's career as a G-League coach. (And I guess we know what you really think of Scoot...)

    Wonder if we had hired an experienced coach like Doc, Rivers, and Chauncey was coaching the bucks right now, wonder what would the records be? Do you think Billups would have a better record?

    I think Billups would do as well as Doc.

    I have a feeling that if our "injured vets" were on teams making playoff runs they wouldn't be so "injured".
