I've been saying it since the start - I'm not impressed with our coach. At all.
There's no strategy, no direction, no unity ... it pretty much seems like the golden rule is:
* If you're under 6'7" you have the green light to do anything you want.
I know we're all enamored with Martin, but Martin is a player much akin to Peja. He plays his best when he gets a nice set shot (or a ton of those fast break points). Having him try to create one-on-one for his shots is terrible. Why take the only efficient scorer and throw it down the drain? Teams are gaming that, so we need to start opening it up by using:
"The Post" (that's the mysterious thing near the basket)
We ran a grand total of 1 post play in the first half. 1. I don't care if Jesus H. Christ and his cousin are down there "god-blocking" the ball ... you have to run a few post plays to someone.
We're lucky right now that this isn't a blow out. Real lucky.
I'm not in the corner with everyone saying it's because of our roster or our players being hurt. Our coach is not getting it done. I've heard he's got this massive playbook ... which is funny because we're looking more and more like last years team than anything else.

We need a spark - some signs of life. It is only the beginning of December and I already want them to do something to change the makeup of this team. I am using the word TEAM lightly. There is no unity at all. Trade somebody, yell at somebody, let something, ANYTHING, happen to give this team some life!! This is AFWUL!!!
Actually I think he needs to relax and take his time. He looks panicky and is forcing things too much.
But when they can't make a few thress, they need to stop taking them. Of course, then the defense can pack the paint. What a mess right now. We are so terrible from the 3, that teams don't have to spend much energy guarding the perimeter.
