This is the stat of the year and reason #1 I don’t think JJ has what it takes. If you can’t get your team up for the best teams, either in spirit or preparation, you’re just not very good at the basics of the job. Lotta dudes can talk a good game, and maybe that’s what suckers Rob the Agent in, but if you are closing up year 2 and the team looks about the same as the one that got bounced (and it does) the writing’s on the wall.
We no-showed BOTH games against the Celtics. Hard to believe… I’d be threatening $5,000 fines for anyone not getting back, anyone whining to the officials, etc. We have soft built into our DNA right now. I don’t give a fuck about the cutesy buddy buddy shit with the jokes and the sly remarks. Screaming and yelling isn’t tough, it’s reactionary. Stop reacting and coach better…
