>and losing to them gets you fried because.... what again?

doesn't matter who the coach is, when you're an elite/top-10 talent with respectable talent around you, you get fried for three straight first-round exits. and it's not like this is a new thing and russ has been singled out. cp3 was the laughingstock of the league for like a decade.

this year he objectively played like shit. shot 36% from the floor and didn't play anything near effective defense on lillard. defending him against this justified frying makes little sense. dude earned the criticism.
