First, I agree with majority of fans here that VDN is not the right coach for this Clippers team. If we can find a suitable replacement (I hope Nate McMillan), VDN has to go.
Now to my point - players including my favorite player (BG) and everyone's favorite (CP3) and others need to be held accountable for their plays this year. Here's my general list of frustrations with players independent of poor coaching by VDN:
Dear BG:
Hey, you are an awesome player and my favorite player but I think you can do so much better. What happened to your FTs? Your man-to-man defense is just indefensible for a player of your talent. Worst of all, you are not screening right! You are just drawing trap to CP3 and not setting him free. Oh, and please run back on defense and complain later (see CP3).
Dear DJ:
Energy, Intensity, and Focus - bring that every night. I have learned to accept that you are not the smartest of the bunch. But you can be a dominant player in this league just by being a defensive presence. Oh, and please learn how to box out from Reggie.
Dear Butler:
I know you just came off of a knee surgery but you seem out of shape. It seems like guys are just blazing by you and leaving you in the dust on every play, which leads to DJ or BG covering your guy, which leads to fouls or easy buckets.
Dear CP3:
I was initially disappointed with the trade to be honest but I am way over that now and happy that you are in a Clippers uniform. Clearly, you are the best player on this team and one of the best players in the league. I don't have much to say other than I think Clippers play much better when you stay aggressive. Oh, and there are 4 quarters in a game, not just the 4th quarter.
These are my frustrations with the players. What are yours? Let's all vent here if you have something to say to the players.
