⁵⁰⁄₅₀, just like every fanbase. Lauded for doing well with the grenade he was handed, but not so much that the fanbase wants him as the long-term HC.

Very true, but give it a couple more years and see how he is. Not saying he won’t be good or anything, but like players sometimes coaches need time to figure out other coaches.

Blazers fans generally want somebody more experienced right now because the thought is we’re poised to make some noise. If we were still doing a lot of building and growing, there would be a ton of support for Splitter. He should easily find a job in the League.

Omw2fym | Suns

It is ridiculous. Some of the best coaches (daigneault, hardy, johnson) are young, relatively inexperienced and have Spurs connections.

Splitter brought a serious season to an unserious team.

I 100% believe in him. I know I have Suns flair but am a big blazer fan too

Blazers aren’t even going to pay the assistant who was made interim HC for 81 games.

Stotts has a championship ring as an assistant and more than 1000 games of HC experience

Way too expensive for Dundon. We’ll get a high school coach or just find an assistant with 0 games of HC experience.

I would like to think the fact he was pretty decent coaching the Blazers would help the Blazers in bringing him back…but I don’t think Dundon gives a shit about the franchise history before he bought them.

Adapted fine when he had depth. ET on Millsap was a great switch in ‘19.

Natural_Bumblebee920 | Trail Blazers

but he struggled to adapt quickly enough in the playoffs

I think his playoffs were generally fine. If anything he massively overachieved with that 2018-2019 conference finals team and then the 2019-2020 bubble team that had to go on a run in the pre-playoff bubble to clench a spot. Like, the 2018-2019 run includes the 4 overtime game against the Nuggets where he abssolutely outcoached Malone on adjustments…

You just can’t succeed in the playoffs without depth…and Olshey’s contracts were insuring the bench most years was a bunch of overpaid guys that didn’t contribute and couldn’t be traded.

Cronin is a lot better at roster construction.

Why is Stackhouse being let go?

ImperialTiger3 | Warriors

142 | 8 hours ago

Tbh, he was supposed to be the “defensive coordinator” but there were many questionable defensive game plans at times.

tallassmike | Warriors

85 | 8 hours ago

This could also go with what they got in order to pull a fitting defensive scheme.

You can only do so much with a 4 guard lineup who’s 25% from three to try to force the opponent to go small

ImperialTiger3 | Warriors

28 | 7 hours ago

I replied this to another person but it fits here:

We were sagging off guys that were hot. Giving to much respect to bad shooters. Putting the emphasis on the wrong players. Stuff like that, not lineup dependent

OpeDefinitely | Pacers

-1 | 6 hours ago

Kind of off topic because this is rare, but it is occasionally a good option to give less attention to a hot player than it would seem at first glance.

For example, I’d rather Brunson knock himself out going for 50 than force the ball out of Brunson’s hands such that KAT, OG, and Bridges all get going at the same time.

Sometimes you have to acknowledge that poison is coming no matter what & just pick your poison.

ImperialTiger3 | Warriors

13 | 6 hours ago

No I agree with that. The warriors have done that many times in the playoffs. Sometimes it’s let one guy get his and lock up his teammates or the inverse where we force the non-stars to beat us. However, this last year we’d give respect to shooters who don’t deserve it and not adjust when a guy has hit 4 threes on us in a short time.

OpeDefinitely | Pacers

Melton, Butler, Horford, Moody, Post and Richard maybe. Not sure where Podz is on the spectrum, but the Warriors think he’s good.

I’m just mentioning the guys they had on the roster last year that are considered above average defenders. They were a top 10 defense leading up to Butler’s injury and collapsed during the 2nd half of the year.

Pods is a better off ball defender, sees the game well which accounts for a lot of his boards, steals and charges. One on one is feisty but gets beaten by more athletic players without help.

Honestly not his fault, probably more of the fault of Kerr continuing to play Draymond heavy minutes usually at starting Center. This isn’t Draymond from 8-10 years ago.

Exactly. He’s the type of coach you’d love to have on the bench, just not as the head coach

Really his main problem is having no offensive identity and refusing to hire someone who does and let them implement it. Borrego changed the offense completely after Willie was fired.

Johnknight111 | Warriors

33 | 7 hours ago

Warriors have had many assistant head coach shakeups. Kerr has embraced that change throughout his tenure with his coaching staff. I do not see it as a problem.

The biggest problem is still the roster and long-term plan. Hopefully the draft can provide the Warriors some answers and solutions with all that.
