Some of his best teams were LOADED with talent. This idea that he turned a bunch of slapdicks into contenders is a myth.

Knee Jerk reaction? Hardly.
Watching him make the same postseason mistakes over and over and over again leads one to only one conclusion - he was a horrible postseason coach.
That's not hating, that's accepting reality.
