Wurider05 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 We need the right coach to harness our talent. So all these threads about blowing things up are stupid. Yes our guys have some flaws but we have talent. That is all I have to say about that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I agree that the threads calling for us to blow things up aren't sensible. But in full disclosure, I am not quite sure we have the talent to be elite--especially when we get so little from 40% of our starting unit (Marv and Bibby), and we get nothing from our bench sans Crawford. Horford gets overmatched by good Centers, Smoove can be Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde in the SAME game, and Joe is only getting older. Our offense is too SG-oriented, while our defense is made almost entirely of switching. Add to that the current ownership's misgivings about going over the salary cap to sign better players (especially for our bench), and you have problems. The unfortunate reality is that hiring a better coach can solve some of these problems...but not nearly enough of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have Marvin, Bibby, Horford being overmatched against decent Centers...a new coach can't really fix that without the GM shaking up the personnel.
