    10 things Vinnie can do to help the Clippers:

    1. Ineffective use of timeouts to stop runs - has no clue. Watch "Pop" of San Antonio, Chicago's coach - 4 points and he calls time out. Not 8-10. Nightmare.
    2. Insanity in rotations and substitutions - let the starters play and don't take out Blake and CP 3 at the same time - crazy. They're young and healthy, not to mention rich, let them earn their money.
    3. Use an offense - I'm not paying to watch pick-up basketball especially with the talent we have.
    4. Use timeouts to coach, not read the paper at mid court.
    5. Teach the guys how to make a free throw - at least 6 losses due to crappy free throw shooting- defecits, although some great comebacks, have a lot to do with momentum and if they could hang in by shooting better from the line, outcomes would most likely be different.
    6. Teach defense, rotations, respect and motivate the players to show they care about the outcome and fans.
    7. Read a John Wooden book.
    8. Stop trying to be Phil Jackson - pay attention to the game.
    9. Fine the players for missing free throws or defensive assignments.
    10. Quit

    I think you shouldn't fire him because the clippers still have a shot to make it to the playoffs. If the clippers dont make to the playoffs I think you should fire him

    he is very inexperienced!!! Carrying notes during the game is proof of that!!! He is the only coach to burn a time out and huddle with his coaching staff for advise and directive!!!

    He doesn't recognize match-ups well neither!!!! Knowing we play the best team in the league (OKC) and a second win against them will be a big boast in confidence for our already struggling team what does our great coach do???? He gives our best defender (butler) a day off!!! Reason for it is because he's 32 and needed one!!! These are pro athletes we r talking about,if u need a day off for fatigue then u shouldn't be a pro right!!! Not only is butler a great defender but he adds needed size to our very small line up!!! During the game it was obvious OKC's size was bothering us so what does our great coach do??? He throws in our infamous three gaurd line up which consists of Paul, Williams and foye!!! Which leaves 6'0" mo to gaurd the longest 6'10" scoring machine KD!!! Not to mention Paul is 6'0" and foye is 6'2"!!! Lets stop them with an even smaller line up right???

    He tends to pull out our starters at the peak of each comeback run!!! Y, i don't know!!! Just because u have prime time players on the bench doesn't mean the have to play and share minutes!!! Y would u take momentum away from a team like that!!! To be honest, he plays our bench way too much!!! Our starters r youthful and r in terrific shape and can play at 100% for at least 37+ minutes a game!!!

    Fire his ass and bring jerry sloan to LA!!!! Can u imagine the famous pick and roll played out by griffin and Paul!!! Sounds better than stockton and Malone doesn't it!!!

    Del negro's offences r of youth basketball!!! No flexes, no motions, no pick and rolls, no curls or flare outs, no back cuts or back screens, no nothing!!!! All it is is Paul penetrating like he does best and kicking out to players spotting up!!!its ridiculous like and embarrassing just like Paul said!!!
