Coach Payes season is reminding me of Coach Haase.
Some good wins. Enough to make you think the team was gonna be ok, pretty good.
But the success not sustained, and riddled by bad losses.
To me the most egregious comparison is that both Coaches teams had/have 2 big shortcomings in my mind:
A lack of defensive intensity. Especially in regards to knowing well their role and position in regards to teammates.
A lack of ball control offense. So many Coach Haase games ended up with assists outweighed by turnovers. Tonight we had more than twice as many TO’s as Assists.
Thats just not a recipe for sustained winning.
Hoping Coach P can turn it around. But not seeing it happen yet.
