Mike Budenholzer WOAT Playoff Coach

[nyknick]

While NBA is full of incompetent coaches Mike Budenholzer somehow manages to one up himself every year in the playoffs. Luckily for Bud his failures will be forgotten because of amazing performance by KD.


Refused to double team Kevin Durant

Kept Lopez in the game even though he was always late to close out Jeff Green (7-8 from three)

Didn't take advantage of Harden on the defensive end

Got outcoached by Ellen DeGeneres

 

[Auger]

He gone after this year either way

I can't believe Toronto had an interest in him after Casey

They dodged a bullet

Regular season he's great but he has to go. It's too late in his tenure for the organization to get a high profile assistant to hold his hand in the playoffs.

His confused/scared look when things are falling apart doesn't help either.

Dude is so blind out there. I really feel like the most casual of basketball fan would be able to make an in game adjustment better than him.

He’s most definitely out. Three straight years with what many would consider a championship level team and three disappointing and embarrassing playoff exits. Nets bigs down the stretch were KD and Green. You had Giannis and Brook in and didn’t even try to pound the paint with them.

Jason Kidd coming soon

 

[Golayitdown]

Harden was literally a 1 legged man and was supposed to be food on defense for any halfway competent coach. Not only did Budenholzer not take advantage of it but did such a poor job that Harden played MORE minutes than normal

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Harden can't move, you don't target him on defense
You don't double Durant and force someone, ANYONE, other than Durant to beat you
Your second half offense was iso iso iso iso iso iso


A master class on what not to do

Its like he learned all the wrong things from Pop

You can be too be rigid that it becomes a detriment

Who cares about relying on a structure when those who are willing to experiment outside the box will always have an advantage

Brook was out there pump faking threes are trying to shoot runners/floaters

Jason Kidd coming soon

If he goes to Portland do they make the playoffs next year?

 

[tjax03]

The simple fact he even allows Giannis to shoot 3s proves he doesn't know what he is doing.

Pat riley, phil Jackson or coach Pop would never allow this reckless behavior.

 

[Flex Grossman]

He gotta fukk up a few more times to pass George Karl

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Him, Scott Brooks,Billy Donnovan, and Karl are the absolute WORST.

 

[THE MACHINE]

He gotta fukk up a few more times to pass George Karl

Bud had a 60 win Hawks team and got swept by a Love-less, Kyrie-less Cavs team by refusing to double Bron.

Harden out there like

“ I just knew I was gonna get exposed 5 minutes into this game and be resting”
