Absolutely. Just a complete lack of understanding on that end. Commendable energy but just doesn't get it. Dime a dozen guy... And an embarrassment as a fourth overall pick.Tons of problems with him. But the biggest one is definitely his lack of offensive awareness. He is a detriment to the team on that end, plain and simple.
Tristan has his issues but it's not his fault that we started the season with only 3 bigs and then after AV's injury/Mozgov we still have just 3 bigs.
Also not his fault that his coach keeps him in the lineup to counter a "small" lineup with Speights of all people (I'm perfectly fine letting Mozgov handle Speights but then I'm not a so-called coaching "genius")
I really wish. But it seems doubtful.Thompson must be traded before the deadline...
Don't mean to pick on you, but I've noticed these somewhat paradoxical sentiments everywhere so it's really nice to have them both in one place.
Point A: We started with a lack of depth and now have none to speak of (hopefully that will change soon) and so we are bad
Point B: Blatt has horrible rotations and plays bad players too often and so we are bad
Bonus Point: We play Kyrie, Kev, and Lebron too many minutes
You can't complain about the lack of depth, overplaying stars, AND Blatt's rotations. Let's give the dude a break until he at least has the opportunity to present a lineup that could contend in the NBA in 2015 (which I believe we will have at some point in 2015). He's acknowledged that Delly isn't a 30 minute a night guy and obviously knows he is tossing darts wth James Jones and Mike Miller. There just really aren't any other options.
I don't see how this has anything to do with my complaints about him: I think his playcalling is extremely suspect particularly not seeming to have watching any game tape of how the Minnesota T-Wolves used Kevin Love for the last several years.

Your complaint wasn't about his playcalling. Your complaint was that he kept him in a small lineup against Speights. Directly prior to that, you said cut Tristan some slack for dealing with our lack of depth. I don't see why Blatt wouldn't deserve the same slack.
Why would he want to do that? It's hard to call how Minnesota used him "successful" when it didn't lead to any team success.
The goal is to win games.
Still don't understand why he turned down the money we offered for his contract extension.
Look at Moz. He is literally better in every single statistic and TT still wants more than twice(!) the money. Thats just laughable...
Gotta use the Moz contract as some leverage to sign TT for less money in the off season.
