Billy is full of shit. I can’t think of one single time that Zach had the ball for the last shot. Billy doesn’t even draw up plays to have multiple options. He just gives it to Demar and tells everybody else to move out of the way.
Demar has won plenty of games for us but, it’d be nice to run some misdirection and fake out the defense. Everyone knows you’re going to Demar, no one expects Zach to get it. Lets use that to our advantage.

It has been obvious that he has been the number 2 option in all of his plays. Billy isn’t wrong when he says that Zach is an option, but the way he answered the question is quite disingenuous.

Yes demar hit back to back buzzer beaters last year and a lot of clutch shots, but he has blew what, 5 game winning shots that looked like complete iso ball. I can’t defend Billy here, and I side with Zach and understand where he’s coming from. If it’s actually the case where Zach is on board with these last second miracle plays that Billy and demar come up with, than that’s a different story. But I don’t think he is at all.

I can’t stand this guy.
The fact of the matter is that Billy hasn’t drawn up a single play that ended in a good look at the end of games. Honestly, a vast majority of our out-of-timeout plays have been abysmal.

A bit of gotcha journalism imo. I do think there are coaching issues but just saying “omg billy said zach was a closer, but also that demar is.” Why can’t it be both? Talk about the coaching, not pick pocketed comments.

what a stupid statement… the last 5 minutes of EVERY GAME is 4 bulls players standing around and Demar going iso… EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Lol you guys are finally understanding what it means to have billy as the head coach. Cmon guys this was obvious from the start. I can’t believe I had to argue with people defending this clown in this subreddit. Say what you want about our team not being good enough to compete from a roster standpoint all you want. From a coaching standpoint he is objectively bad he’s literally just a pushover and lets his stars do all the work. Ask thunder fans about billy and they’ll tell you the same thing. Why do you guys think Westbrook was able to win an MVP with him? Dude literally let’s his stars do whatever out there. It’s awful to watch tbh

Yeah KC Johnson even said about the home game vs the Cavs, the play was drawn up for Zach but DeMar called the audible.

The second tweet that doesn’t appear on screen:
[…he was an option on the play. He’s been an option on all the plays. “It’s not like we’re taking Zach and sticking him in the corner and just saying hey listen, stand there. He’s been involved in all that stuff.”](https://twitter.com/will_gottlieb/status/1610785026760929280?s=46&t=d23H9FHFnM8g8XIf4LbyBQ)
