The frustrating thing is they can play well at times. But when they face just a little adversity they fall to shit. Defense is about effort and pride. Even bad players can play tough defense if they know what they're doing. I've seen so many just basic fundamental mistakes this year. I can't believe these players played high school ball let alone AAU. Shocking lack of basketball IQ on this team.
But for all we know, Fran is drilling something specific into the players heads over and over, and they kept screwing it up.

In which case he's either really lousy at coaching...or he recruited an entire team of guys who are uncoachable. (I think #1 is more likely)
Again its context. If this team was last year's team and someone was screwing up their defensive assignment over and over one game I think its fine. When the team is hot putrid garbage all year long I think its a bad look for the coach to say that because it prompts an obvious "you're telling us!?" from the fans.That's not true if it's one circumstance that led him to say it. But someone mentioned that they weren't playing worse than normal that game anyway.
My original point was, if one guy is lighting 3s over and over and the coach is repeatedly telling him not to lose that guy, but they keep losing him, the coach would probably say "I can't watch this shit".

We are probably the worst team I've seen at boxing out.
But in fairness, his last group of players did what he wanted. Also if I was a coach and recruited the wrong group of players who wouldn't do what I wanted, I would know it was technically my fault and still say I can't watch this shit.I get ya, but the earlier post was ...maybe the guys just aren't doing what Fran wants, thus his ICWTS frustration. I'd suggest that in year 8 if you can't your players to do what you want (and this isn't really about one game, it's the whole season)... your coaching is lacking. Or you've got the wrong players...which is an extension of your coaching.
