My guess is that Jackson might have preferred Rambis at that point . . . but the PR behind such a move was bad (with Rambis having a poor record in Minnesota).

The PR for Fisher was an easier sell . . .

A Head Coach should always be allowed to pick his assistance.

In Fisher case, he has had ZERO coaching experience and should have depended on his coaches more

I think Phil really wanted it to work with Fisher, and gave him a ton of rope. Fisher didn't listen to Phil's advice, and maybe Phil thinks he should have given more advice or been more aggressive in his commands. However with Rambis there right next to him, Fisher instead was working more with his assistants. Sounds like a typical situation at work where you have 2 teams now - and the guy at the very top has to assess the situation and go with a solution to destroy the splitting of the work place. Not helping Fish was his situation with Matt Barnes. The 9 losses hurt the most.

In the end though, Fisher had made many obvious game to game mistakes. Can't recall how many times I would yell at the type of lineups he would be using. He didn't practice the Triangle much, it was obvious. He wanted the team to run more, play more screen&roll basketball. Yet he didn't have the star guards to showcase that.

Not sure if the team improves with Rambis.

I had my doubts about Rambis, but the little i heard from in, it's been very encouraging.

As far as fisher, when you stop listening to the more experience assistant, you become a hard headed fool, and I could see almost every game that Fisher was out smarting his own self

Rotations rotations rotations

Standing up the entire game and not calling one play

Jerking guys minutes on a daily

Destine for failure.

The process remark was definitely the ICING

We won at a rate of 45% under Fish. If Rambis wins at a higher clip than that, I'll be surprised. It would mean he has improved considerably.

I don't give a darn what Rambis does, he MUST remove Jose from the starting 5

I don't expect any change of the starters tonight. If Rambis did do that it would be amazing for a 1st game, but I think he'll ease into this and wait for the break to prepare and get some practices in.

I'm most interested in the rotations. It seems like Fish killed the team flow with his platoon style sub patterns. I felt he should keep at least one of Melo, KP and RoLo in the game at all times. You can't take out all the starters with a roster like this.

I also wonder exactly what he's gonna do on offense. Will he have them slow it down as seems to be what people have taken from comments? Will they kill off the PnR? Right now there's a lot of speculation but it's gonna be interesting to see what he actually does.

Rambis has been on the bench for more than two seasons; further, he played with the greatest PG to ever play the game. I am sure he knows Jose is garbage. He must know that the root of our issues as a team rely solely on an ineffective Jose. We are slow on offense, and slow on defense
