He never tried using Giannis or Crowder on him (Crowder played 3 mins the whole series) never trapped him to get the ball out his hands, never called timeouts to stop runs, and never put a big under-the-rim to stop the lob to Butler that sent the game to OT. I get it. His firing was insensitive because he lost his brother, but it was justified because expectations were high and they finished with the best record. Nothing less than a Finals appearance was unacceptable.
Yeah I get that, but maybe if you weren´t such a chump of an owner/GM/assistant coach/star player you´d go and say: Listen Bud, seems you are not yourself, maybe take a step back, go home and grieve. We got your back.
To sit there and watch him bottle it for two weeks, cause his mind is with his dead brother, is more on the others than on him.
