JOB may be a horrid coach and i hate his tactics and i hate how he divides minutes among the players, but this is way bigger then him right now. This team has absolutely quit on him. Can't say i blame them, however, in the same sense, it's never good for a young team that has achieved NOTHING in the league to be quitting on anybody. You quit when you're proven and the FO or coaching staff holds you back from the next level.

I watched at the bar with some friends, so i didn't have sound and didn't pay all that much attention to every small detail, but, they never played defense at ALL. Orlando looked like a bunch of men playing against boys. If they wanted to drive in and lay up, they could. They were dunking silly on us. And if they wanted to shoot 3's, they had open jumpers. There was nothing JOB could do when his players just don't listen or play simple basketball.

AJ Price - Ok, so he was a nice story last year. But now i'm seriously wondering if he's worth keeping for the future even as a backup role. The guy just stinks this year. At first it was because he was rusty. What the? Doesn't he practice? He's a 2nd year player living his dream and now he gets an amazing opportunity to play ahead of TJ Ford and make a name for himself. I understand 1 game of rust, but, he may have been the worst player on the court tonight, he was terrible vs. Golden State and Portland. Lance Stephenson can not be worse then this guy.

His strategy against the Nuggets was to leave Melo open. I wish I was joking. He said "he's only a 25% shooter from three, so we'll let him take those."

At first I thought Tyler was struggling on defense.. Then I noticed that he was the only guy rotating to stop a cutter / roller and no one was rotating behind him which ended up making his defense look worse than what it actually was.

Hansbrough's defense never really worries me. He might lose out on the perimeter and get beat, but he won't stop chasing and is tough as nails. I hated seeing Posey out there, even though his play wasn't terrible...
