Re: Who's the most hated team in the NBA now?
I don't hate a team as my job requires me to be objective, but I do have a profound dislike for the philosophies of "Dan Toni" and Don Nelson. Both coaches directly violate the very nature of a basketball offense (to make the other team play defense for as long as possible). Their offenses play chaotically, soft, and too loose for my liking. Even worse, they are hyped by the media as basketball geniuses.
Defense and rebounding is secondary with these two coaches as both have relied on zone defenses to get crucial stops in the past. Their more interested in leaking players out on a fastbreak mission than to stay in and rebound. This philosophy may be "fun" but it is no way to win basketball games in this league.
