coaching is definitely a problem.
one quibble with your post: wiseman has never shown anything in detroit. he may stumble his way into points, but if he does its because he's tall. he does not now, nor has he ever, understood how to play basketball. he's the worst player in the nba. rodney magruder is better. chuck nevitt was better. fennis dembo was better. lance blanks was better.
i feel a bit for monty because troy weaver saddled him with a rotation of the always injured marvin bagley and the always terrible james wiseman and the always tantalizing but very young jalen duren. not to mention the overdrafted, overpaid, undersized isaiah stewart. you cant win with that frontcourt.
this combination of bad talent and bad coaching has led to 21 straight losses. revel in the glorious mix of ineptitude. i know i am.
