Man I hate this asshat.


I feel like Monty will probably have 0 techs here in his 4-5 years with us.
Honestly think I'm gonna buy tickets right behind the bench so I can taunt his ass.

Really despise him as a coach.

Duren should get the ball every play. They are too small inside.

I can't watch this. Monty is driving me absolutely up the wall.

I should know better. Watch the replays id something interesting happens, otherwise avoid.

We could really use a couple vet shooters/scorers that can get some buckets to go with all these young guys.

In all seriousness, Bogey and Burks bailed us out a ton when the offense was stale we're going to need to run better sets to make this team more watchable.... and probably more transition ball once we get our full unit.

I’m shocked by Duren’s ball skills. I think he’s going to take a crazy year 3 leap

We could really use him being a double double every night and averaging about 18 and 13. He's 14 and 12 right now so I think those numbers are fairly reasonable. 18/13 and improved overall D would be a really nice bump for us.

How bad do we have to be to fire Monty with cause so we don’t have to pay the rest of his salary??

I really hope the refs are able to talk through their feelings tonight after our vicious clapping at them

Okay okay I get that it’s a young group and virtually everyone else is traded or injured and we’ve got a skeleton crew around them.

BUT….its still a bummer watching our “core four” play this badly against a bad opponent.

Cade has sucked lately. No other way of painting it.

And it’s super frustrating. Looks like that guy we had in the early stages of the streak. So discouraging to see regression from him.

I hate the premise that he needs all star teammates to look good.

Plenty of other franchise players look fine with depleted lineups.

There are guys who need all stars next to them to look good. They’re called role players.

Cade needs to be better. Full stop. If he’s handed a major extension without showing more than this in those last 30 games I’m not going to be happy.

He was playing so hard and so good towards the end of the streak but he's for sure been a bit off lately. December was the best or at least second best month of his career... he's been poor since coming back from injury so maybe its still nagging him or maybe it's something else.... luckily just a few more games and then the AS break and hopefully everyone comes back fresh and ready to get some Ws.

That and some degree of durability.

I don’t advocate investing big money in any player that lacks availability.

He’s looked great in stretches but as of right now there are fundamental questions about his consistency and durability that I don’t think we’re going to get clear positive answers to before the season is out.

It’s a tough position to be in.
