It's unfortunate Paolo can't beat Taj Gibson off the dribble. He got it poked away and then passed it...

Needs the break for sure.

It was pretty disheartening to see Paolo settle for a middie when he saw Gibson on him in the first quarter.

We are losing to a team that is starting elfrid Payton at PG??
The only player worth a damn (as a bball player, not as a human) is miles bridges. Nurkic has been there like 3 days and the rest of the team are players no one has ever heard of....
And we are losing to them AT HOME??

I really like Mosley as a guy, and I know that if they fired him at this point that they would be absolutely torched by the national media, but honestly at this point I don’t care.

If this guy can’t get these guys to play with the appropriate amount of effort to succeed anymore, then he’s gotta go. Flat out.

It’s not like there’s any technical acumen with him or anyone else on this coaching staff to fall back on.

From the jump, this has been a culture/hustle/effort/physicality kind of coaching staff. And if you can’t draw that out of the guys anymore, then what exactly do you have?

Lottery team guys. Maybe we’ll get lucky. Paolo may not be fully back until next season.

It truly is remarkable how unproductive KCP and Gary Harris are. It takes talent to be as unproductive as they are. Say what you want about Jett, but at least you'll know he's in the game.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Same, seems like the offense is still trash, and the team has quit on Mosley. :(

What changed from the beginning of yhe season to now?

Did Weltman watch too much videos of Cooper Flagg or something?

This is just becoming disheartening. We need the break so bad.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

I thought Paolo played better than Franz in that half… not that he was great or anything but Franz is not making the right reads tonight

Crazy that I’m even saying that, but this is disgusting.


Silly.


It’s really not.

If they completely fall apart these last 25 whatever games with Paolo and Franz healthy and miss the play in, how could you legitimately justify keeping the front office or the coaching staff?

It's has to be frustrating for Franz to see Paolo take so many bad shots when he could've got 25 on the Hornets in the first half.

The east is so bad that I’m afraid we’ll make it by default and then get swept in the first round

I gotta say Knightro, I didn't think you had it in you to take it there. Can't say you're wrong. Personally I wouldn't fire Mosley, but his coaching staff absolutely needs to go.
