I don't agree with everything he does... but he is about to be the winningest coach in NBA history
wrong. he is gonna be the coach with the most wins. big fucking difference.
most wins because he coached for longer than anyone, 30+ years.
and how many finals appearances?
The players dont like playing out of position constantly, and dont like the feeling of starting 10 games in a row, then being benched the next 15. That, and small ball has never won shit and this team aint the first one that is going to make noise with that system.
and even if we started to win games, nelson would ruin that by playing guys 40 minutes a game so that they get burnt out and fall off. even if we have a 20 point lead, he would leave his starters out there to die.
i know this isnt the NFL Meta, where coaching is king. but it still matters, just in a different way. instead of scheme its about time and controlling runs and getting the team to play together. its about stopping runs and going on runs of our own. its more about managing the minutes players get, calling timeouts at the right time, and emphasizing the right thing during those timeouts.
coaching is also about getting along with ur players, something that is true in all sports. if the players dont like playing for u, u wont get the best out of them.
