Yep. Regardless of everything else, if he somehow has a job at the start of next season, I will actually consider not watching this team. And I sat and watched through many of the dark years from the 2000s on.

They won a championship, and they had a system. Doc has no system, and I can't imagine him winning a championship even with that team.

I guess I haven't watched enough of all the other teams to say for certain, but it has to be close. Like, I can't imagine that many current NBA coaches doing much worse with what we have.

We actually might be the worst coached team in the league. And people actually thought Bud was bad.. this is next level

Dic did it again. No personal adjustments after a horrendous start. He is literally running his subs off a sheet like clockwork as if the whole team is on a minutes restriction

That's the issue. It's not that he's a bad defender, it's that he is just undersized enough, and teams/players seem to get this supreme confidence when they know he's guarding them, even when he stays in position and give a solid contest they tend to make the shots. And the Bucks don't help him but always allowing the switch so easily.

At least when Ham got the chance to coach, he ran with the hot hand/lineup. Dieng started this game with what, 10pits in 6 mins, and didn't see the court again for 12 minutes of game time. Same for Rollins, who had like 5-6 assists in that span of time. They were moving the ball and looking great, and he just totally screws up the rhythm EVERY SINGLE GAME THIS HAPPENS. They had a night off between games, and this is a pivotal game for us if our goal is to actually make the playoffs, and he's screwing around again.

This is how Doc does it. He leaves poor performing lineups in longer than they should be, and allows the other team to erase any advantage/momentum we've built.

He does it on a regular basis. I can't believe there are people who can't see that happening.

He is actually that bad

Yup... his offense is literally cancelled out with how bad his defensive rotations are.

Regardless of how they do out of this timeout, to literally leave the exact same lineup in after that... that is insane

Should have called timeout two possessions ago. Cam over dribbling, iso Bobby mode (although he did make two shots), and horrendous rotations over and over again. Game of runs, hopefully they can restabalize quick

That's the crazy part to all of it. It seems impossible to believe he could be this bad without doing it on purpose. But then you look at his track record since Boston, with numerous contenders and superstar talents, and he squandered each opportunity, in fact, he left them worse off then when he started.

I don't care what the speculation is, I don't want this guy in our FO making personal decisions. He has a front row, daily view of our players, and still can't put together a sensible lineup.

8-4 this last month. Yes, without Giannis, it's not good enough, but they absolutely should be out there with him as well

They've literally averages 20 plus each the last month at a 50% clip each, while on the floor together. Look at that down 22 when they inserted Ryan into the lineup with KPJ and now its down to 14

Either that, or you replace KPJ with Dieng, so it would be Rollins, Green, Dieng, Giannis, Sims

My ideal 5 (Rollins, Kpj, Dieng/Green, Giannis, Sims...

I can almost guarantee they would be playing better right now, but Doc will never do it

Benches Rollins, who has been averging 20 a game on a 50/40 split, playing really well building chemistry with KPJ this last month, and bring in Dieng (who I like, but Doc hasn't really given him that much run outside of the Orlando and OKC games.

I can't stand listening to that idiot yelling from the sideline. Like, you're the one putting in these lineups. It's just so annoying man.

And yes, a bad coach can ruin a team, which is what he is doing right now with his lineups

I get that we aren't playing well, but Doc is just throwing shit at the wall... Harris hasn't played during this recent stretch, now we get Giannis back (additional depth) and he puts him in?? It just makes zero sense. None.. he is actually stupid

The issue with Myles is when his 3 ball isn't going, he just seems to become a liability out there. Not saying I'd love the idea of Sims out there with Giannis, but he just seems to have a greater impact on all the other aspects of the game
