Only 5 players can be on the floor at a time. Is it the players fault that SVG opted to overplay Bledsoe and Adams for "defense" to try to protect leads, as the offense stagnates and allow teams back in the game? How many times have we seen in the 4th quarter Zion on the bench and not being brought back until 4-5 min remaining? Players fault too? So when we're up double digits its all because of SVG but when the games get tight and the necessary adjustments are not made its because of the players?
I'll ask again, what are the positives that SVG brings? If its because of him that we've been up double digits, how? What did he do to get us there?
I'll agree with you that the roster is overall weak, but it also hasn't been fully utilized either. We've lost far too many games that we should've won. Youth is always the excuse even though we've lost to young teams. Griff deserves some blame too. I just don't see how we get to the next level under the current leadership. Waiting too long to move on from the past leadership is how we lost AD. I don't think we should wait nor have the current leadership given us any reason to believe we should besides the fact that they talk a good game but produce bad results.
