After every game its become increasingly clear that Larry is in over his head and is approaching the game like a JV highschool coach that has to get everyone in. Some questions from last night:

Why is Malik Rose playing major minutes, his defense is not needed on a spot up jump shooter like Haslam and he can't finish around the basket. Lee would have been much more effective?

Whats the reason Larry didn't have someone else besides Curry guard Shaq to prevent him from getting into foul trouble?

Why does Nate not play at all in the third period after providing the team with the most offense in the first half?

Is there a reason we don't utlize the pick and role more with Frye? Why does he sit for long extended periods of time?

Why does Larry do most of his complaining during a time out, and not pick up a technical for his guys that were getting screwed on calls all night, Curry and Q were holding there ground and the official were giving the heat every call?

Is there any other team in the NBA with a 12 rotation?

If I'm wrong let me know but coaching doesn't have to be this difficult

You're wrong. Larry in over his head?

“I'm not surprised. Do you think Larry Brown forgot how to coach between the championship and now? It's young players, new pieces, a new system, and I never felt he'd get it done this year. He'll make adjustments, get it started, but the fans won't understand. They're not gonna see the subtle changes, the sophistication. All the fans understand is wins and losses.”

- Clippers coach Dunlevy on the Knicks

I don't proclaim to know the reasons for LB's action but as a knx fan from the days of Joe Lapchick coaching and Harry Gallatan boarding and Jim Bechthold hitting jumpers off passes from Dick Mc Guire do know that his pattern here is not much different than his pattern elsewhere. He hasn't called me recently to tell me what he is looking for or at but he has a resume that say there will be results in the end.

32 Different Rotations

Calling out his player his players in media

Sounding broken and saying all he does is play young guys thats why the team is losing

The organization has no idea what Larry is doing, everyone inside is fed up with his coaching, players calling him out after trades

Playing conservative on offense instead of running

And the only reason he won a championship is because Atlanta gave them Rasheed Wallace, lets not give him too much credit for that one

I've wanted to post something similar- how are we worse this year with what is arguably more talent?

Did KT = wins?

For the failure that Curry has been, he's giving us the same as what sweetney gave us last year.

Do we miss Tim Thomas?

Mo Taylor is putting up better numbers than probably anyone on this board expected.
Frye has put up 3 double doubles this season.

God I was SCREAMING the same thing last night! Poor Lee. It just isn't fair, this kid should be playing.

I think they were trying to showcase Malik last night, but Malik doesn't really have any skills to showcase other than effort.

were you screaming before or after he shot an open jumper that hit the side of the backboard? The same guys that say the Mo Taylor trade was good because Vin and Moochie are useless bitch and moan about Lee not getting minutes. Lee got good minutes last night. He's 4 and we have Frye and Mo Taylor already, not to mention Malik. These are players with large contracts the GM traded for. Wake up if you dont think this factors into it.

I will say it again. I love Lee, I really do. I have high hopes for him. Right now the fact that LB is getting him any minutes says a couple things. We are working on getting the young guys minutes and the expensive veterans playing in front him totally suck.

or you can say, if we didnt trade for malik, we wouldnt have lee in the first place.
