Apologize to Coach Rick

[ItsGoTime]

I don't think the thread is about "RC great Kidd bad". It is about scapegoating RC as the cause for bad results that is being done by Mavs (players, Mavs media, fans), through more or less direct hints and statements. "KP was bad because of RC, offense was too much Luka centric, mood was bad because of RC being a pain in the ass..." Reality strikes - KP still can't create for himself, rest of the crew are still same limited role players. Psychological enthusiasm about coaching change will be short term. In the end, reality will show that this team just lacks the talent. Something we (should) know for 3 years. 

In this light I find it extremely unfair to point a finger at RC, who should deserve nothing but respect from the organization that chose to have him as head coach for more than a decade.

I don’t see scapegoating around here. I see “it was time for him to move on”, but don’t really see how that is scapegoating. I don’t see it in the quotes from the organization or team. They are saying they are happy, and then the reporters maybe are expounding on that, but I have yet to read much derogatory towards RC by them. 


You yourself brought things back to reality when you said he left us. Well, he left us, there’s always going to be a compare and contrast when forced to look elsewhere. Is it not acceptable to do that?
