Should Chauncey be on the hot seat?

Over time coaching makes some difference while the right GM can make a huge difference. I find it funny that the same fans always want to fire the coach when it's the talent that matters... every time.

I've watched the majority of games for 30 years. Fans have bitched about how bad Billups, Stotts, Nate, Cheeks, Dunleavy, and PJ were.

Who was the last coach we had that lived up to your standards? Adelman?

Only one I got sick of was Nate. I knew the days were numbered for the rest, but I didn't have much confidence we'd get an improvement except over Cheeks. He was not a good coach. At all. Nice guy though.

But often nobody knows if they're going to be good! Half the excellent coaches in the NBA I never heard of before they became coaches. The guy in Utah. The guy in Boston. The guy in Memphis. The guy in OKC...

Right. So you go get one of those guys after they prove they're good.

I agree with all of this. I'd add PJ in the same category as Cheeks, at least that's what I thought then. Now that I look back at it, I may have been wrong about PJ being a bad NBA coach.

Think it was more about PJ the person than it was about PJ the coach?

Joe would not fire Chauncey, they're both Buffalo's.
 
when PJ was coaching in Portland I had to watch with the sound off as I couldn't take his constant yelling. I'm sure that was even more grating on the players

Take away the two Dallas games and what does our record look like for the past month?

I mean, I loved the Dallas games, but they look more like Dame going supernova than a team breakthrough.
 
Credit where credit's due: Chauncey always gets one awesome quarter per game out of this team. Shame it couldn't be more than that.

How come it's rarely the first quarter and if it is the next three are bad enough to negate the first quarter?
 
I sat 3rd row behind Calabro last night and watched CB, every time a Raptors player was close he was talking their ear off, even FVV after the tech, didn’t see Nurse do this kinda shit all game. I don’t like how chummy CB is, like his job out there is to make friends or make sure the other team’s players are doing well. Let’s see some fire for once.

Agree 100% as stated above. It is just bad optics. Are you focusing on the game if you’re constantly chatting with the opponent? Pat Riley wanted to rip your throat out not yuck it up with guys. I hate it.

That's something I've noticed too, and I think it's a difference in how players now-a-days are compared to the old days. Not sure I like it or dislike it though.
 
Chauncey is a horrendous coach. I was completely wrong on him
 
we have a bottom 5 coach in the league.

we also have a bottom 5 gm in the league.

terrific combination.

I don't agree about Dallas, but a breakthrough is exactly what Billups should be striving for.
 
It’s really hard to judge CB with the rosters he has been given; everyone and their mama knew we didn’t have enough size.

My thread stating that Cronins tenure has been a complete disaster outlined this; his attention was to get “longer, more athletic, bigger” and we did the exact opposite.

That said, I think when new ownership comes in, we should cut the cord and move forward with a new GM and coach.

This has been the statement for the last 15 years.
 
has Chauncey done anything, at all, that would make a reasonable person say: "yeah, this guy should get a couple more years to show what he's got?"
