I think it’s way early to be thinking Martelli is not right for us. You remember Odom’s first year when we were appalled at the defense we were playing in November as December? Remember the embarrassment of us trying to fly the “It’s Havoc You Fear” banner?
Last night’s rotations we not pleasant for me with Hill sitting more and less Lazar it seemed in the first half, but I’ve felt like Martelli’s rotations have been better than previous coaches. I also think he leaves guys who are “hot” longer where others would have stayed with script and pull the hot guy.
Also, our offense has been good except for last night, and in starting games for the most part. Defense has been getting better. We held St. Louis more than 20 elbow their average and this wasn’t cause we were sitting on the ball.
We need better players, and that’s on the coach but is hard place too much blame on for Year 1. Evans and Tracey have been underwhelming. There’s Ward. He did well with the 2 guards, but they are young. He also did well with Lazar, though we don’t have a rim protector that we can bring in.
