Uncle Al thru first 20 games: 5-15
14 games against 2016 playoff teams

Willie through first 20 games: 4-16
10 games against likely 2022 playoff teams (12, if you count Washington, which I do not - they look like Fool's Gold).

This season reminds me a lot of Uncle Al's first season as HC. For Al, facing the GSW buzzsaw twice in the first week and a brutal schedule did the Pels in early on. After checking the box scores, the Pels even had our "Big 4" healthy for most of those games (Davis, Holiday, Gordon, Anderson). Willie probably has a better excuse given our franchise player is out of commission, but damn does it feel like deja vu.

-just for fun-
Van Gundy thru 20 games: 8-12
9 games against 2021 playoff teams

We should have kept Uncle Al for a couple more years.

Stan was a wasted season. Al was the perfect "set these young guys up for the real coach".
