Bud is a lot like Mike McCarthy or Bo Ryan. Their common strength is establishing a strong structure and sticking to their principles not matter what. It's this attitude that your success is based on using the same principles long-term and too many short-term adjustments reflects hitting the panic button.

Bo Ryan almost never called plays at the end of close games. McCarthy was basically line your guys up and have them beat the guy across form them. Bud develops a system that is good enough to win 60% of games across an NBA season and never wavers from it.

Giannis is such a unicorn, it's hard to play against him if you see him every two months. In a series, guys get used to him and he's a painfully limited offensive halfcourt player. He needs to be used like a Clint Capela who also gets the ball down low. He should be a monster on offensive rebounds. Instead, he's used like he's Kevin Durant. The frustrating thing with the Nets is they don't have anyone like Adebayo or Kawhi that should have any chance of guarding him.
