Swami, do you think that if we had a coach that forced Chauncey to do thing more his (the coach's) way and benched Billups for Stuckey if he didn't, that it would negate some of Chauncey's liabilities?

i dont think i've seen Billups post up once vs Rondo in the low post this series...well its nothing new, Mr. Inconsistent should leave with Flip, underperforming vs inferior opponent PG can't get you through the ECF
DE: Not at this point, no. Chauncey has had his way for a long time and is very used to it. Not really sure any coach is going to have much of an impact on him. That's poison when you've got young talent you're trying to cultivate.
EDIT:
Story of Chauncey's life, dude.Quote:
underperforming vs inferior opponent PG
Thanks for the sig addition, Swami.
The coach doesn't loose that battle if Joe is behind him. If I'm interviewing for Flip's job (supposing he was canned), I tell Joe that the pieces are there, but they haven't been used right since LB left. I'd talk about Sheed floating, Billups not posting and Tay not getting enough looks. I'd tell him that is my plan up front and that I need his backing to instill these changes. If Joe says no, I wouldn't want to coach there anyway.
I wonder if a guy like Avery could instill these things. It seems like he's not afraid to make changes he thinks are needed. The problem is that Cuban did not see eye to eye with him. Joe would have to be behind him.
Avery is the only option out there who would be an upgrade to Flip
A lot of legitimate criticism being leveled at Chauncey in this thread but not once has the effect of the hamstring injury been mentioned. No, it's not an excuse. It is a factor though. Whether you figure it's mostly mental as a lot of commentators have said first time hamstring injuries can be or physical or some mix of the two, it is making him tentative and throwing off his jumper.
Disagree completely. The core of this team will be just as likely to bust out another 50+ win season and a coin-toss to lose a series vs any opponent with a superstar next season as this season and the one before and the one before that.Quote:

The problem isn't the personnel, it's the mentality IMO. Keep the switch on all the time (in the playoffs) and I'm not sure they can be beat in a series.
I understand, and I agree that his injury should be taken into account, but I just happen to believe the problem is bigger than you think. No disrespect.Quote:
