Player The Mundane Mediocrity of Maestro Mitch Johnson and his Many Minions

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Mitch just said he has "NO problem" with Fox's boxscore and play.

GTFO.

What do you expect from Coach Feels?

As long as fox has a problem with it I’m not that worried. He knows he played like dog

Changed the topic title to the more appropriate one until he proves himself.
(Did it when we struggled in the regular season and it worked, tbh.)

Meritocracy is nowhere to be seen with Keldon closing out games in which he's a detriment to the team.

I expect Fox and obviously Victor to play much better on Wednesday. I guess we will have to see if Fox continues to no-show? I don’t think he will.

If you're going to bench Fox for Harper, you have to do it game 2. You can't wait until game 3. It'll be too late. If he's going to make a bold move, it has to be done in game 2. You can't have a rookie have to try and bail us out on the road in game 3.

It might be a crazy move, but I'd bench Fox in game 2 and run with Harper. I'd rather Harper get in rhythm for the road games.

I guess the coach has to stick up for his player, but I hope he doesn't mean that. Anthony Edwards played way better than Fox and he called himself out after the game.

Understandable that Mitch had to say that, but Fox better have a really big problem with the way he played. AE criticized himself after the game. That was a piss poor performance from Fox. Dejounte, D-White any of these former guys the Spurs let go IMO could have had a better game than that, maybe even Tre Jones too.

You aren't going to get any accountability from Coach Vibes. He's got to make the locker room and press conference a safe space for his players.

Sycophantic hire with sycophantic results.

Yeah, it’s just too much of an overreaction and it’s not going to happen. Fox did play extremely well in the last playoff series. He’s a veteran, he’s an All-Star, etc. He’s obviously going to get his minutes here.

I don’t think starting Harper is the right call either, but Mitch has to come into every game with the mindset that whoever plays better gets to stay on the court, not that we will ride or die with Fox whether he’s on or off that night. He’s not Wemby, he’s not the franchise player, he might not even be the #2 option regardless of contract size.

And honestly who knows, maybe fighting a rookie for his minutes will light a fire under Fox

 

[NASpurs]

Definitely got out coached. When Minny started to screen Wemby basically stopping him to free roam, Mitch was too late to adjust to that.

KJ has been straight up, dreadful in the playoffs. Last night as Ant is lighting him up he’s talking all kinds of bullshit only inspiring him further. Dude stop talking when you are playing like trash.

I wonder if he's going to consult Coach Pop on what moves to make since he's new to coaching in the playoffs or if they're giving him the full call on what changes to make? I would guess Pop will be in his ear a little.

Pop would tell him that Matt Bonner needs a lot more minutes.

Pops a vegetable at this point. No one coming through that door to save Mitch.
