Fire Reggie Theus? (it's baaaaaaack)
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
I just think we should atleast give him to the rest of the year. If we eliminated the first quarter, the knicks only beat us by 4 points. I know we can't eliminate the first quarter but I guess what i am trying to say is I feel Reggie responded to the kings poor play and helped get them to atleast play at a semi-consitent level for the remainder three quarters. The third quarter was actually semi fun to watch and I liked how Reggie left Thomson in to help us get down to 12. Overall, I am not reading(*ready, geez i cant spell lol) to see him leave and frankly don't see the purpose in it.
True, and didn't JT start the 3rd (when we started to make our run)? If Theus comes out with Beno/Garcia/Salmons/JT/Hawes against Minnesota, I will definately give him another chance (as a coach) to see what he can do with that lineup.
Regardless, it's not going to be fair (don't get me wrong, I want him gone, though) to Theus if we fire him now or at the end of the season...either he's going to be gone for the team playing bad now, or fired at the end of the year because we just need to go a new direction? If the Kings stick with him til the end of the year, I would have to believe they want him back for a 3rd one.

FOR GOD SAKES FIRE HIM ALREADY GEOFF WTF!!!
We need an experienced teacher as our coach .. not someone whos trying to learn with the team along the way WE NEED SOME GUIDANCE . a system! there is no system on this team. Hell get Sam Mitchell he was coach of the year two years ago and the raps didnt give him a fair chance this year.. hes got 4 years exp. in the league and brought the young guys of the raptors together.. this is what we need.. Look how Bosh turned out.. Mitchell could teach Hawes and Thompson alot.
FIRE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I'm against bringing in a new coach like Mitchell/Cheeks. I just want someone like Natt or Person to be promoted, so they can get the chance to try something new with the set of players we have. Sometimes, a team just needs a new voice in the locker room. For all you 49er fans out there (sorry to change sports), look what Singletary has done so far this year since he took over. He took the same players, the same system (but obviously adjusted it), and made it better.
So, go with Natt or Person for the rest of the year, see how they do, if it doesn't work out, then interview for a new coach in the offseason *COUGH* Tom Thibodeau PLEASE! *COUGH* and go from there.

I'm just wondering what happened to the defensive emphasis we had last year. It seems like we were much better defensively, on average, than we have been this year (and no, I haven't looked up any statistics on this, so I am just going off my recollection more than anything else). For some reason it seems like we got away from what made us more competitive last year....
That's the way I feel also. Miller shouldn't be our starting center. My beef tonight was that Theus stayed with the vets way too long in the first quarter. All the young guys should have been in the game after the first 5 minutes because it was so apparent the vets didn't have it. And I would have had the point guards throw it in to Hawes and JT in the post all night. I don't care if they aren't good post players yet. Feed them 20 shots each in the post anyway. It's not as if they are going up against a big team. As was said on the postgame, Beno did a terrible job at the point in not managing the pace of the game; he also did a terrible job of getting it to the youngins in the post.
07/08... artest
08/09... sans artest.
perhaps some people, in their haste to get rid of a heart on my sleeve, mercurial, temperamental, passionate player, forgot that he was by far our best defensive player, defensive stopper, and defensive tone of our team.
imo, its quite clear that artest helped our team a lot mroe than the consensus of fans realized. they only saw the brute, childish, uncensored, politically incorrect ron artest, instead of the fierce competitor, fierce teammate, and fierce friend.
i see many similarities between the artest and adelman scenario. not to mention life in general. we seem to have very little fight in us... and if nothing else, artest brought a level of fight everytime he steps on the court, sometimes literally.

Well, we have to be realistic and look at the fact that we had Artest and Martin last year. That's huge. Not that I'd want Artest back, but he was our only low post offensive player and a good defensive player. The lack of a consistent offensive post player really hurts this team on offense and defense. And in that regard, having a new coach isn't going to change that. I would just hope that a new coach would play Spencer and JT consistently as center and pf respectively and would help them improve in the post as soon as possible. Part of that process is to DEMAND from the point guards that they get our big youngins the ball in a timely manner in the low post.
I don't think the problem is that we don't have a good post player. The problem is that we don't try. Hawes ( whose shot hasn't been falling of late ) is a very good post player. JT, I beleive will become one. He just hasn't adjusted to the speed of the NBA yet.
I seems that at least once a quarter the wings will graciously throw the ball inside. And then its back to lets stop and pop.
