The biggest knock against JB Bickerstaff over the years is that he is great for the regular season but isn’t as good in the playoffs.
Bickerstaff’s lack of offensive creativity takes most of the blame for his failings in the postseason, something that emerged in Detroit’s playoff series against New York last year.
Bickerstaff is just 9-19 in the playoffs in his coaching career and will have to turn that around if he wants a long-term gig with the Pistons. Bickerstaff coached some very good teams in Cleveland, but it was his shortcomings in the playoffs that eventually cost him his job.
