i told you that in the other thread, he plans on playing 13 guys until he's fired at the end of the season(unless he makes the playoffs)

13 players per night will not be sustainable. If he doesn't watchout he runs the risk of losing his locker room; which would be a shame. If he finds ways to lose the next game, you will start to hear a lot of noise coming from that locker room

Lmfao. I don't mind Lance at all, he makes shots, defends, and hustle. KO and Seraphin together on the floor told me the coach just doesn't have a clue

Fisher is a big part of why sasha is here, and is only playing him because their cool from their Laker days. It's fck up that he's sacrificing games because of his ego.

Whats worse is that Phil is sitting on his hands and letting this sht happen

This is how a mature coach often thinks

You miss the part about "a bad team"?

Basically Skiles is saying that he does the same thing but would prefer to avoid it.

Jackson: I think the most important thing about coaching is that you have to have a sense of confidence about what you're doing. You have to be a salesman and you have to get your players, particularly your leaders, to believe in what you're trying to accomplish on the basketball floor. We have a statement in our organization, "It's not what you do, but it's how you do it that matters." It's not whether you run the triangle offense like the Bulls run it, but whatever you do, as long as everybody does it and executes it. So you have to be able to preach that. You have to be able to manage a group of guys. In "Casey Stengel-ese," you have to keep nine guys happy and three guys not so sure whether they're unhappy or happy or just happy to belong to a club, because nine guys are going to get to play, the 10th a little bit and the 11th and 12th will have to be balancing it off. So they can't be a disruptive force.

Fisher is doing the complete opposite of what Skyles does; he is using 13 men per game. Skyles move oladipo from the starting spot to the bench, because he knows that he can't have two ballhawgers on the floor in Oladipo and Payton at the same time. He plays oladipo like we are using Galloway, but only used 10 players. The most important difference is that none of the players he used played less then 12 minutes.
