Why do you blame the injuries on Stotts, the Bucks were on a roll and then everyone got injured. Stotts can run the team good, and he is a good coach. You put Phil Jackson as the Bucks coach over the strech with the injuries and he couldn't have won much either. There was never a good coach that did well with 80% of there startng line up as of the begining of the season injured. According to you Pat Riley should have been fired because the Heat stunk due to injuries.
I don't blame Stotts for the injuries. I blame Stotts for not getting the Bucks over .500 since he's been in charge; for failing to make the team improve defensively at all; for failing to live up to his promise of including Bogut in the offence consistently; for making poor substitutions, including poor rotations having 3 PG's on the court, with Ruben at the 4 and Bogut in the middle; I blame him for making this team so focussed on perimetre shooting; and I blame him for failing to keep the team motivated and as a result them giving up when they fall behind.
Any good coach wouldn't make all of these mistakes. And any good coach would preach defence and as a result improvements would be made in that area.
Therefore you ranting accusations are far from correct. Riley is one of the greatest coaches ever. He doesn't make these errors of judgement. So before you go accuse me of implying such things, perhaps you better consider that I'm not naive about the various facets of coaching basketball and that you need to have some facts to support your ignorant claims.
Anyway, Bucks got a win today by shooting a ridiculous percentage. Finally Charlie and Earl stopped shooting like spastics, and CV had a nice game. Hopefully with Redd due back soon we can make a run towards the playoffs, but with the teams porous defence there isn't a lot of hope.
