Ok. Fire the coach!

Did it work yet



Don't play with my heart, it needs to be done for it to work.

But, it's good to see you unknowingly join the movement by highlighting a bunch of teams that ultimately moved on from winning coaches 8-)


I mean find us a good replacement first and then do it. The thing is though is that he’s here this year whether you like it or not so it’s currently a waste of your time and mental state

At this point I don’t even care anymore maybe the fanbase would quit crying about the coach shut up and watch basketball

Rick Carlisle sucks btw Jason Kidd was the player coach



I'd enjoy basketball more if I didn't see us playing with a handicap. I like the roster, add more depth and I think they could win a title with a coach that can make adjustments. I don't know how anyone can watch how we play against elite teams, through multiple different rosters and come away thinking he's the man for the job.


Kidd was on that team with Avery when they were losing in the first round to the Hornets.


Yeah and Avery benched him at the end of one of those games against the Hornets like an idiot which is probably why he got fired :lol:




That's about as dumb as putting your center in a drop against a prolific three point shooting team. :o

In an alternate universe, the Louisville version of you is making the case for the Cavs keeping JB Bickerstaff.


Also, it's not my job to find a good replacement, are you going to pay me rob?

For all the complaining I feel like it’s a dereliction of duty to not have some kind of short list of replacement candidates you would like to see. But then it might happen and you’d have to get held accountable if they fail so I don’t blame you for playing it close to the vest it’s a ruthless world out here at realgm

So, why don't you find new RealGM posters then? You're complaining about us complaining in an effort to silence the truth, even though you subconsciously agree with us, as seen by your mention of the Mavs and Cavs who removed winning coaches. I'm on record saying to look at the Grizz assistant coaches, possibly poach Chris Quinn from the Heat, or various other guys under the age of 65.


Do you want me to interview these guys pro-bono as well rob? I didn't know you supported major corporations taking advantage of the little guy, good to know Corporate Rob-BILLIONAIRE :o

Help I’m being silenced! Literally an echo chamber where everyone here agrees with you and wants to fire the coach lmao

Damn I posted now nobody out there is going to hear any suggestions about firing the coach when it’s every other post :lol:

I'm fine with you voicing your opinion, unlike you trying to get us to stop talking about coaching changes, I believe in open dialogue.

It needs to be in every post Comrade Rob, that's how a grassroots movement starts. Look at the hell the Mavs fans are putting their front office through, I bet you want Knick fans kicked out of the garden for saying "Fire Thibs" the way they did that Mavs fan. You support Kim Jong Un don't you?

Their new coach has kept the players minutes in check, unlike the JB Thiberstaff last year. It's so nice to see you finally on board the change team.


jb thiberstaff is some of your best work.

At least Kim Jong Un brought in Dennis Rodman who knows what it takes to win a title

Most of the people complaining about him have ulterior motives or simply want to go back to losing again, I insist any change must also come with a major coaching upgrade not just firing for the sake of frank fan mob appeasement. Same with me not wanting to trade Randle for nothing instead of waiting for Towns when you insisted to me for years nobody would take him lol

Damn, rob really out here supporting dictators as long as they bring in the worm. Nasty.


I don't have any ulterior motives, I see the team struggle against elite teams because he coaches the game the same way against everyone. He's had a losing record against .500 or better teams since he's been our coach, and we've given up threes at an alarming rate as well, we are always near the bottom in 1 of the 3 three point categories whether it's percentage, makes or attempts. I present facts and stats, others present feelings and fear.

We got KAT at his lowest value point, if we didn't make that trade you would have supported us giving Randle 4 more years, the Knicks infrastructure and economy would have collapsed, we would not have been a society.

Read on Twitter


Giannis is 2 years away and a knee injury from being completely cooked. He's had 12 years to learn how to shoot a basketball. 18% from 3 is career worst, 57% from the line is career worst.

No chance he just gets better by getting older and less explosive, while all his shooting stats make RJ look like **** Ray Allen.

This is like complaining about Shaq not having a jumper :lol:

I’ll take a guy who won a championship and a finals mvp over KAT and Mikal all day. Every GM would.

Giannis from 4 or 5 years ago. For sure. The Shaq you are getting if you trade for Giannis now is

He is career worst in every measurable and falling off fast. Might not even be his fault as they've abused him the past 3 years. Again, guy could have learned to shoot a free throw or 30% on 3 in 12 years.

It's not like 5% off ... its way off, you're trading for 6' 10" Westbrook.

Thibs gets the most out of his players very similar to how comandante Fidel got the most from the 82 revolutionaries in the granma boat. Only 20 of them survived the first 3 days. We might suffer some casualties along the way. Trust the process :lol:
