This isn’t based on JUST last game, this is based on last season too. How many of you guys were begging for this man to be fired until the playoffs came around and he seemingly learned to coach in an instant? My initial thought was that he just sucked for a while because he was a rookie coach who didn’t really know what he was doing. But now the regular season’s back and it’s like Darvin completely forgot everything he learned about Denver in the WCF. Rui played 15 MINUTES and AD was forced to guard Jokic basically the entire match. Gabe played hardly any minutes when Dlo was getting cooked defensively and struggling offensively. And he NEVER called a timeout when they went on a run. Any time the Lakers scored on 2-3 possessions in a row Malone called time instantly. Somebody needs to remind Darvin that being a higher seed makes the playoffs easier.
