Quote:well hold on a second there Maps.....casey has done a good job with this team thus far....I personally feel that each player has the responsibility to play to his best ability at all times on that floor and no coach can manage that.
no no nooooo! human beings are not machines. we expect them to be professional and to work out how best to be as consistent as possible. that is why PROFESSIONALS get the most money, are the top dogs of the worker heap.
yet we know they are human and most critically are up against other professionals doing the same thing are as good as them and only the quality of the homework and preparation each teams does..and their professionalism on the job itself at any time , its quality will be decisive.
that is the nature of things and that is what makes a head coach necessary. but for that a team would be able to save the money and just let the players play on the court or on the field etc.
Casey and every coach has work to do..
THE MOST CRITICAL PART OF WHICH IS GAME MANAGEMENT...THE GAME ITSELF, IN PROGRESS..TO UNDER STAND WHATS GOING ON AND TO COME WITH ATTACK ON THE TEAMS PROCLIVITIES ON THE NIGHT ITSELF, IN ADDITION TO ALL THAT IS DEVELOPED ABOUT THEM IN PRIOR PREPARATION
that is where Casey is falling down. I have already given him his pips for what you give to him above. I know he is a good coach, that has done well up to the point we see him fail consistently.
and I mean consistently for this series is a carbon copy of the Indiana series. Casey is making the same mistakes all the time... and THOSE MISTAKES ARE DECISIVE. THEY COST THE GAME..HAS COST GAMES!.
teams need head coaches who not only can x and o but are strategically sound on the go. who can see game flows and devise means to deal with them. Casey fails miserably on the score. he has been a consistent failure this way and I would not bee sooprised if the guys have not already stopped listening to him. I got that sense last night.
look here: CASEY LEFT THE RAPS ON THE COURT LAST NIGH FOR WHAT 10 MINUTES BRICKING THE GAME AWAY, DRIBBLING AND SHOOTING AND BRICKING WHILE MIAMI BUILT UP WHAT A 17 POINT LEAD.
HE DID NOT DO A DAM THING, DID NOT CALL A TIME OUT, SAID NOTHING, DID NOTHING, JUST LET IT FLOW
well that is not the way to play basketball..to let your team dig a big hole for itself and force them to climb out of it if they hope to win. the very least he had to do something about DeRozan bricking the game away.
a player on a team cant do that. he does not have the right or the power to play like that, to shoot as he wants. what are the team's plans for the game..did it include DeRozan doing whatever the hell he liked trying to get out of his own personal funk at the teams expense.
who the hell plays basketball that way in this highly professional age ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::
