Something like that. Could you imagine Collins getting angry? He can't. He's a pansy. And if he did... you'd probably laugh. You can't say to the Sixers squad...
1. OK Boys.. we made it.. most people said we wouldn't be here... but we did it. Congratulations to each and every one of you.
His soft love for the players got him there. But the playoffs are a different story. You need to change it up a little. Boston was in desperation mode. Collins has to get up to Iguodala, Young, and Holiday... right in front of their face (individually) and say THIS IS YOUR GAME!!! YOU UNDERSTAND ME!!! All your hard work... comes down to this game!! And push your finger repeatedly into his chest... pump that SOB UP!!! Get these players UP!!!! Don't shake hands with these players like you just got out of Church. And say... congratulations son.. you did. Well done. GTFO of here. That's where Collins lacks as a coach. He will never be a BIG GAME COACH. I watched him when he coached the Pistons for many years. They had to bring in Larry Brown to win a Championship... Larry Brown is a little old man... but the players respond to that guy... and he goes ape shi# at times. You have to go nuts and show passion in certain situations. Players want to see passion in their coach. Collins is a decent playoff coach for Round 1. And that's all he will ever be. Lucky he made it to round 2.
