I don't know how that chart can tell you it's not a coaching issue.

I should have said it's not just a coaching issue. The players are to blame, IMO. Phil Jackson couldn't make this team a contender. We've had 3 former Coach of Year winners here over the last 3 seasons, 2 with championships on their resume. This team is poorly constructed and the players can't be coached to care. We're 5 years too late to have a team of wings and win.

Small wings at that.

I think it all goes back to the KD trade, we simply didn't have the assets and depth to build a good roster after that deal. And it became even more true when we downgraded our roster even further by trading away our first ever number one pick along with a good young player for an almost unplayable Nurkic and a player with no better than late first round value.

OK, that makes more sense. There is blame all around from coaching to players to front office to owner. If I had to order it:

Owner
FO
Players/Coaching (tie)
