JJ is a good coach IMO but if I was on walter's team, I would show him film of Rose's knee injury (thanks Thibs!) and the Cavs dropping game 1 against the Celts with Atkinson stating he wanted to save his TO's. Fix those two things and I think JJ has a chance to be an elite coach. He gets buyin from his players, his defense he concocted all high level stuff from him
We have now been shown another example of how an average coach can win with the right players and chemistry coming together at the right time. JJ has some growing to do for sure but with the right collection of players he could lead us to a championship. Unhealthy players having an unusually healthy year and a couple of unexpected players stepping up it can happen. That is why each year there is always hope.
