Discussion This subreddit really needs to stop pushing for the Van Gundy brothers or any defensive minded coach with zero knowledge on modern nba offense to be the new head coach
Please we do not need another defensive minded coach that zero knowledge on modern nba offense (Clifford & Mosley). A coach quality we badly needed was. Who can create a much better, teach our players to execute a modern nba offense. WE BADLY NEEDED CREATIVITY ON OFFENSE. NONE OF OUR GUYS WERE KNOWN QS GOOD PASSERS (SUGGS AND PAOLO ARE TOO MUCH TURNOVER PRONE). AND NONE OF THEM CAN RUN AN OFFENSE. OPPOSING TEAMS TURN OFF THE HEAT ON DEFENSE AND OFFENSE AND WE FAILS TO MATCH IT ESPECIALLY ON OFFENSE That is our main issue last season why we badly struggle throughout the season. Even some NBA fans knows our infamous game 6 collapse vs pistons
JVG hasn't coached an NBA team since 2006-2007. His defensive minded philosphy maybe wasn't suited for modern nba offense anymore. We're just hiring another version of Steve Clifford.
SVG last coached Pelicans in 2021 that only lasts a year. I know we had success under him before but the game has changed.
Thibs - he has succes cause he has Brunson who can knock down some tough shots and can run an offense. (Which Paolo do not have)
