If only we could have Bud, he has been amazing with Suns so far...
He should keep being an assistant for a few years at best, he's not a head coach and it slows down/handicaps the development of the team and Wemby in particular.

I'm a little confused. Their record isn't that good. I haven't watched them play, though, and I don't know if key players have missed games for them?
Not even peak Pop would be on pace for anything more than ~45 wins with that garbage Suns roster.
KD missed 10 games, Booker missed 5, Beal is completely washed.
Their role players are garbage. Nurkic is close to Collins level useless and is making even more money.
Tyus, Jones Allen and O'Neale are solid, but they have no good bigs and only one point guard.
It was just a little banter to posters that were praising Bud after Suns great start of their season.
In the same mold, some posters were also praising Suns' shooting coach to have fixed Ryan Dunn shot. He was 11/25 from 3 for his 5 first games. Since that, he has been 21/81 (.259) from 3.

Genuinely thought he would extract the best of that roster all flaws aside. Bud is regular season winning machine, probably the best coach in the past decade in terms of maximizing existing talent in the regular season. Frank Vogel got a raw deal it seems..
Anyway, for the Spurs, i would rather go for a young coach who would generationally time better with Wemby and the rest of the core. Will Hardy would be my pick if we can pry him away from Utah (Ginobili is my pipedream; i think he would make a good coach). I am not ready to anoint Mitch; but if they go that route in the offseason, it better be on a short contract (2 year deal) to keep our options open.

Yeah, I'm over Mitch. He's still better than Pop though. Please no Bud, Mike Brown or Monty Williams. They are even worse.
Oh, right, thanks for explaining. I wasn't sure what you meant as they haven't been doing great by the looks of their record (I haven't watched any of their games).
Castle and Champagnie, both playing well, at 18 and 15 minutes respectively. Vassell and Sochan, both being ass, at 33 and 27 minutes. This needs to be revisited.
It really doesn't. It's been happening every single game.
We have a development coach in charge of the team and he doesn't have the authority to make any significant changes.
If Collins didn't flip off the ref, he would've never gotten any DNPs.
Outcoached by ing Billy Donovan.
Mitch is keeping the seat warm for Monty Williams.
Can this Make A Wish experiment be over already?
I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather have Brett Brown in charge.
We just lost to a team with zero rim protection whatsoever. Wemby had 8 blocks and they still scored more points in the paint than us.
Im out on Mitch. If it is indeed true that he can't bench Keldon, Vassell, Collins because of the higher-ups then fine. But unless proven otherwise, I'm out on him being the coach of the future.
Yeah i am out on him too. I just want a more seasoned coach to take over from Pop without him being a league retread..
Can we book Doc Rivers first. After Bucks fired him in the near future.
i keep repeating myself i guess.. he needs to stop forcing this short rotation

I think this is the first time I’ve seen Mitch Johnson really ticked off and rightfully so.
he coached his worst game of the season. He should come in the press conference and say tonight is on him
When the wheels start falling off the team, he really struggles to get the team back on track. And seems really unsure when if and when to challenge calls.
Champ and Castle need more playing time. DV ,Sochan and Keldon needs to have limited playing time. Do it, Mitch!
Good point. He had a good start in the first few games and had his team responding well in 3rd quarters, but got lost in the rotations, playing somewhat of favorites, once the whole team got healthy. Seniority/money on contracts trumped basketball reasons...
I called it from the start, and it's not rocket science...
You don't put in charge a rookie coach who furthermore has zero experience at the highest level.
At best he'll take years to learn bc he'll have to make a lot of mistake for it.
It's irresponsible when you have once in a lifetime player
On the bright side, at least it's not Pop out there
They should take another approach with Wemby’s minutes distribution pattern. I get it that he gets gassed and they want to play him in shorter stints but it’s not the first time they need to take him off with 6 minutes left in a close game and then bring him back in for the last 3 minutes. It throws off the entire rotation and the team rhythm.
What happened to the Tim Duncan resting pattern? Didn't Tim always play the last 7 or 8 minutes of the 4th quarter. I have no liked the take Victor out at the 6 minute mark and bring him back with a few minutes left. These teams seem to also go on big runs in those moments and it changes the momentum of the games. If Victor can't play 7 or 8 minutes in a row, well then, that is on him.
