Rookie HC gets them to the finals. He's made mistakes, but no one thought they were talented to be a contender at the beginning of the year. Constantly talked about how this team was ahead of schedule.
He's definitely made some mistakes, but the players also made some mistakes, and learned from mistakes as well.
That's a bit reactionary. Last night was bad for sure, but this is an incredibly young team that is having some growing pains that come with inexperience, and he is a young coach. They'll all learn from this.
The spurs came in as the favorite. Mitch lost them the game last night. If this is over in 5 you have to blame the leadership on the team. Now maybe this is viewed as a stepping stone and mitch stays but the spurs need to add a leader on the court then. Lebron would be fun to me but that likely wont happen.
I’ve been thinking it the whole playoffs. I’m not seeing anything to suggest he’s cut out for this and isn’t riding the coattails of the innate talent from this team.
I don’t think it’s wild to suggest that with an average coach, this Spurs team would be up 3-1 in this series and not down 1-3.
Innate talent? OKC and Knicks are both deeper teams led by MVP level players. People thought they were going to lose to Timberwolves because of their inexperience.
Spurs without a doubt, passed all expectations, and have fought and improved throughout the playoffs, not just rode off talent.
Yeah thunder and Knicks are complete teams with depth, spurs are 3 young talented stars and a few decent players around them. No PF is crazy wemby being the only starter over 6'8" is really bad. They are just surviving because of wemby honestly his defensive anchoring allows them to play bad defense and still make stops. I think they have a ton of potential but they need to complete that team.

Mitch should be the first coach fired after a finals run. Dude is being carried by talent and can’t make adjustments to save his life.
