Yikes.

To be clear, this team doesn’t get where it does without Rudy. And it definitely doesn’t get there with the crap we traded for him either.

People should be thanking Rudy and Connelly.


This team has succeeded in spite of Connelly.

I like all of our players. I don't have any personal malice towards Rudy himself. His story of how he got to where he is in that one article was pretty heart warming.

I really just dont like how much other people here (like you) act like he's the next coming of Jesus when he has a ton of major flaws.

I also really don't like how his contract situation has affected the team and the move and potential we took away from this team that was required to get him. I don't like how it affected our timeline and speedrunned development for our young players and their deals.

The only person I truly hate with a passion is TC. The day he leaves or gets fired will make me feel a similar level of joy to when Thibs and Kahn got the boot to the curb.

I'm glad we have Connelly and I give him the lion's share of credit for our success the last couple years.

Is there any way to search our record in afternoon games over the years. Have a gut feeling we haven't played well in them for some reason.

Definitely nice lebron and luka get thess time to rest though

Yeah you're an idiot.

The guy who drafted Edwards, Jaden, signed Naz and got Finch and put together a team of relatively valuable role players after Thibs took a fat **** on this franchise deserves the credit for pretty much all of our success at the moment.

TC is just the guy that blew his entire hand for some short term success.

If Rosas could keep his dick in his pants we'd be in a better spot NGL.

He made some idiotic moves like Culver and DLo but they weren't nearly as bad as TC hard capping our team which forced us to trade our 2nd best player for basically the package that was available for multiple years.

Why on earth would you wanna start the game with a Gobert iso possession ? That's most likely a turnover. Gobert is not a young guy anymore...he is what he is on offensive end. I just don't understand these Gobert iso possessions on offense

Just pointing out that you shouldn't be able to behave like that with impunity.

Rudy is showing his age. He's had several opportunities to score and keeps coming up empty.
