@@Emon31415 actually 80% of the coaches notice these things, they don't have the absolute defensive titans for players like nurse and stevens had at their disposal, so they can't affect the game as much. nurse and stevens (and spo) are certainly THE best coaches in the game atm, but the rest of the coaches aren't as far behind as you might think, they do not have the excellent defensive iq and versatility that the raptors and the celtics units had though.

@pearlywhites3025
@pearlywhites3025 3 года назад
Clippers had no facilitators and their bench couldn't play defense. Basically, the bench gave up the leads the starters created, and no one could consistently get the role players involved, so the clippers relied heavily on iso ball which is a high variance strategy, which explains the huge peaks and valleys from Kawhi and PG.

@DamageIncorperated86
@DamageIncorperated86 3 года назад
My thoughts: 1. No facilitators besides Kawhi who isn't really who you want to be your lead play initiator despite improving. 2. Harrell and Lou getting absolutely shredded on defense and playing too much 3. Too much freelance offense, not many plays being ran, could have made things easier. 4. PG just shrinking, not hitting shots or being aggressive.

Beyond that I think I'd put D'antoni, Budenholzer, and Stotts in some order. But I'm more interested to see which coaches past this teir get put into the "above average" camp.

I called it on my series preview on this that one of the most exciting aspects about this series was the chess matchup between the two great coaches

Damn, I'd love a series on this stuff like a phil jacksons Lakers against Greg Popovich Spurs in '08 and '09. Pat Riley's Lakers '89 vs Chuck Daly's Pistons.

It’s crazy that even with a fantastic game like the Heat vs Celtics. The only thing we can talk about the blown lead, that’s how crazy of a series the Clippers game was.
