I think there's been a rush to bash MDA and it's funny cuz when he came out and wasn't overly enthusiastic about the teams chances everyone jumped on him. The team is young and full of guys that need to learn how to play. Yes we have athletes and that's great. We have to get more things working properly tho. No pure PG play is a problem. It's not about having Nash. It's about basic things you need a PG to be on the floor. The PG has to direct and setup easy scores. Felton can get his own, but he and TD stink at setting up teammates and that would hurt a lot of coaches. It's still early tho.
No PnR and poor 3pt shooting, plus awful halfcourt decision making by our PG's is a lot to overcome and yet this team has mostly been in position to win games. Let's not throw Mike under the bus just yet. I still think that things will be very successful this year. Over the course of a season you're gonna have losing streaks, so this one coming early isn't that off-putting for me. It's disappointing, but I never expected a smooth road to the playoffs this year. I fully expected a slow start and for the team to have a better 2nd half. The team actually came out stronger than I expected, but have lost their way. I don't think it makes sense to panic. They have to learn and fight out of this downturn. The team played hard last night. Not always smart, but I didn't see a coach that lost his team by any stretch.
