I'm telling you I know that was 100% going to happen. There was a big falling out between him and key members of FO.

i'm sure there was but you can't fire a coach that makes the finals for the first time in 25 years. they would be stuck with him.

Chet has completed his terrifying morph into a Kevin Garnett with a jumpshot
If we lose to the Thunder in the Finals he will be the biggest reason why

its just not the pg...if they are playing amen, sengun, and adams together teams are just not going to respect there outside shooting. They will have to rely on getting a ton of offensive rebounds which they can do but its certainly ugly.

if he plays more there is zero chance he makes it through the season healthy.
He isn't even to make opening night. You and I know he needs to be handled with kids gloves. We will need him especially vs certain potential playoff matchups that for sure. That is the most important to me.
