PG Thread: Ask some tough questions for once Beat Reporters! 

Post#1 » by Phish Tank » Thu Dec 28, 2017 3:16 am

Summary:

Once again, we choked. Mentally weak team. It's just inexcusable. Time to fire Jeff -> make sure the team plane gets stuck on the tarmac like that LAX flight as punishment.

We got up big in the 1st and just choked like no tomorrow in the 2nd. Made it a game against a clearly inferior team. No guts, no glory. KP played scared at the end taking bad shots. Lee turning the ball over in the clutch (and he's a veteran). Jack missing a key FT. Choke job.

Jeff has some real questions to answer, but the beat won't ask em. No reason for Beasley to ever inbound the ball - it's like Jeff has amnesia and didn't watch Monday's game. Kanter shouldn't be shooting 3s. No P&R action with Frank? He should be fired tonight - at least home ain't far away from him (he's from IL).

We didn't even score a bucket in the last 5 minutes. Fireable offense there.

Run some real plays with Frank. Frank's gotta attack more and whatnot, but he was probably gassed with playing 18 straight minutes.

KP gotta man up and takeover now. He needs a killer instinct to takeover. Maybe the anemia kicked in?

Beat reporters (outside of Haarlow who works for MSG) are soft and don't ask any tough questions. Here beat - since y'all are lazy - I'm gonna give you some questions for Jeff:

1) Why isn't Frank starting?
2) Why is Frank playing 18 straight minutes?
3) Why aren't any plays run in the last 3 minutes of the game
4) Why is Beasley inbounding the ball?
5) Why isn't the team executing any plays?
6) Why don't you incorporate pick-and-roll action in the last two minutes?
7) Why didn't Baker play?
8) Why is Lee and Beasley facilitating in the last two minutes?

It's time to tank.

Top pick is still within reach. Lose every game.

It is mental than physical problem, from the coach to the players.
Are you fans of the team or the player?

Frank has a ton to prove if he wants to make it past his first contract...
Jarret Jack would have won this game in the 4th quarter.

We choke so much. It's a coaching thing but at the same time the lack of a playmaker has screwed us 3 straight games.

I'm sitting here, wholeheartedly impressed by how they choked that much and threw this game. Give them credit, this was an incredible performance for the tank.

Let's not forget when this fool had in the all bench lineup when we were up big. He's a terrible coach no way around it.
