It’s still early in the season, we can cut him loose and get a real not interim coach to come in and be with this young core for years. After losing such a close game last night to terrible last minute decisions and seeing Chauncey all smiles and shaking hands right after the buzzer went off, was so infuriating I couldn’t believe someone could be so happy after a loss like that but now it all makes sense. I hope they fire him today!

Innocent until proven guilty. Relax! Plus, the current FBI is incompetent. Just look at the Epstein mess. I want to see more proof before considering them guilty.

The investigation started over 9 months ago when the corpse was still "in charge". So I presume had Copmala won this would all be fine?

Hmm, You got all the appeasing and proper language backing up your takes. It speaks volumes, not in a good way
