Say what you want about doc being a terrible coach(sometimes he is)
But the players do seem to like him and credit where credit is due he’s really been a great coach lately. His rotations been pretty solid, I have no complaints with him right now.
Doc may have a bad playoff track record but he’s always been known as a players coach. Our culture has gotten a lot better since him and Morey joined
If the players didn’t like him I’m sure he’d be gone already
Only calling him Doc if we make it out of the 2nd this year
I don’t give a flying fuck how good he’s been in the regular season. For better or worse, fair or not, all that matters is getting out of the 2nd round.
It’s generally the adjustments that he mainly is lackluster in but for some reason the last few weeks starting with the nuggets game that he’s actually been playing the X’s and O’s minus that last possession of the 4th in the bulls loss when they were scrambling confused and doc didn’t use a time out to sort them out and it ended with a piss poor desperation 3 that missed everything.
Blake griffin even touched on it in his post game presser after he hit 5ish 3’s against us. Doc is very slow at adjustments.
Maybe Ben was truly a toxic entity that the ownership and Brett Brown (regrettably) really were behind and the culture has been miles better with Doc and Daryl.
You know what the biggest criticism towards him was that he plays Joel and Harden a lot of minutes and that way they risk injuries.
But those minutes improve you physically especially Embiid he never been in a better shape.
Load management is flawed.
Shouldn’t you bitches be crying about a subjective individual award
Finally…
Just because he’s a players coach doesn’t mean he’s a good coach. Only reason he’s still coach is because of the players. We’ll see if he survives another post season collapse.
Cool, I’m waiting to see the playoff performance before I give Glenn his nickname back.
