    Worst Coach of the Year

    He starts off the year placing DeRozan at the 3 when he showed all of last year that he can't play that position. DeRozan has always been a bad defender, but that is especially highlighted when he is forced to guard bigger wings. Last year Pop countered this by having White guard the opposing wings which leads to...

    White being benched. We know that Forbes is the worst defender in the league, but we somehow played almost decent defense on the floor when he was paired with White and DeRozan starting last year. Murray isn't guarding the opposing wings he is guarding his position which means Forbes has to guard out of position and so does Demar. Benching White has ruined the chemistry that last year's starters built. We are beyond horrible on defense this year.

    Another gem was DJ apparently taking the benching hard when he should never have started to begin with. Day 1, White should've started over DJ while the latter learned how to play basketball again and get some rust out.

    Marco over Lonnie has been discussed to death and everybody basically agrees that Lonnie started off passive, but took Pop's criticism to heart. However, we are all wondering if maybe he didn't take the criticism to heart like 5 games ago... Also did anybody notice Pop was going to take him out in the 4th but Walker was shooting free throws so he couldn't?

    Why start Lyles? Didn't make any sense. Either start Poetl or Gay but not Lyles.

    There's a long list here but basically tl dl: Ladies and Gentlemen Pop is your 2019-20 Worst Coach of the Year. HM: Kerr and whoever the Atlanta coach is

    You seem to have forgotten that David Fizdale exists.

    Fizdale wouldn't bench Walker and call him noncompe ive in front of the media

    Fizdale wouldn't trade Davis Bertans because "I hate 3 pointers"

    Pop has been good but it might be a bit much to name him the West's Coach of the Year, tbh

    Pop has been pretty good actually with the talent he has. Lonnie said he made him give 110%, isn't that the definition of a good coach; one that gets the most out of his players?

    well played

    only thing that makes this season palatable is that Kerr has been exposed and Rocket fans (since I live in Houston) complain about Westbrook shooting 21% from 3. Local sports guys want Dantoni to issue a no jump shot policy on Westbrook

    let's see:

    He has a better roster than last year

    That team last year made the playoffs

    Only 7 teams in the NBA have a worse record and the only one that was in the playoffs the year before are the Dubs who lost KD, Klay, Iguodala and Steph is out for 3 months

    Seems to me like he would win worst coach in the league right now
