"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

So let me get this straight..
The coach FINALLY starts to do some of the things that us casual fans have been yelling about for months, and the wins follow. Then you take this opportunity to bump a fire Monty thread, in which I can only assume is an "I told you so" moment for yourself...
However, instead of gloating, you should try looking at the real picture..
A PROFESSIONAL coach of 4 years could not see or implement what even the most pedestrian fan could clearly see, and after he FINALLY starts to do things you would expect from a ROOKIE head coach, the team starts to play better. Of course, this is coupled with the fact that the game as slowed down for AD, and he is better than any one could have imagined this year.
And you think this is a reason to celebrate Monty?
Really give it some thought..............................
Nah I just wanted to bump it to get some panties in a bunch.
And you think this is a reason to get upset?
Really give it some thought.....
Two choices:
1. Keep complaining about the past
2. Notice the improvements and hope they continue
Why would anybody choose #1? I feel like some people would prefer that he keep committing mistakes just because they are too stubborn to shift their opinion.
The guy is staying for at least another year. Root for his continued improvement over your desire to be proven right. That's my only beef. That should be everyone's focus, shouldn't it?

Opinions have been formed, and some minds don't have room for facts, too.
Did i read it right? We're winning because the game is slowing for AD (and right these days, and that of course has absolutely nothing to do with coaching anyway) and because he's so much better than we'd ever thought he'd be.
Which again, has nothing at aaaaaaall to do with coaching whatsoever.
So...we're winning because AD is our best player and our coach. End of story.
I was one of the staunchest on the 'fire Monty' bandwagon, but complaining gets old. I get more pleasure as a fan when I just detach and hope for the best. I now choose to have faith that Monty will get better instead of bemoaning every mistake. Perhaps it's because he's admitted that he's still learning recently, or that AD seems to have such confidence in him, but I'm buying in, and for those stressed about him, you'll enjoy our games more if you buy in too.
Memphis, at least, definitely has better available talent than our Pels.

I've seen much better coaching from Monty the past few games. Maybe he is learning.
Credit where it's due. The team has been playing better as of late, and Davis continues to grow. That has Monty written all over it. Makes me excited for when we get Anderson and Jrue back!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Monty done this most every year? He goes into a season with a vision of how the should play but, if it isn't working, adds some variation to it like a week before All-Star break and then start to experiment even more with the last 20-30 games?
This may just be me misremembering, though.

You are remembering it fine.
Most complaints stem from someone who think that they have the best ideas for the team. When they fail to happen, it means Monty is a bad coach.
It would be better to try to figure out what Monty is trying to do, then critique that in the right context.
It would also be helpful to keep in mind has jobs beyond setting rotations, breaking clipboards, and drawing up magic plays.
From the last few games it seems as though Monty out thinks hisself early in the season. Now with less is on the line he goes with more piratical rotations and plays.
