I think people are forgetting how excited people were to get BC here in the first place. I remember chuck swirsky was doing his radio show from the auto show at the time and the one thing I asked him was "any word on colangelo yet?". He has made a lot of mistakes and probably deserves to he fired. The formula he used in Phoenix can't really work here because no one wants to come here. It's clear that the raps need someone who can build a team through the draft...something that isn't BC's strong suit.

Even more telling than all the years in the lottery is the very simple fact that we have had 1 (one) winning season in all of BC's miraculous tenure here. One.

Will the last Clownangelo supporter still standing please google for how many other GMs in the league have had one winning season over the last 6, and still has his job?

Why the different treatment for the Clown? Look at how another respected, well-known GM was treated when he didn't get the job done: Danny Ferry. The Cavs even had years of winning teams and success, yet as soon as Ferry made a big mistake - being unable to hold onto Lebron, however much that was or wasn't Ferry's fault - he was gone. Why does Lyin' Bryan still have his job? What is he holding over the owners' heads?

Yes, and Bargnani is just turning the corner as a basketball player too. Do you have a list of the same canned generic excuses that you bring out every losing season at this time?

3 wins in 16 games isn't that bad for a Colangelo constructed "playoffs" team

We need to start a petition.

..and those who are still bothering to go to the games need to bring posters demanding him to be fired and start burning his damn picture outside the ACC so ownership is forced to deal with it.

I haven't bothered to vote until tonight but sign me up. As my friend said to me the other day: "Why does BC still have a job?"

7 years is more than enough to build a proper team.

No team built, no improvement shown, do or die B.C., turn things around from what you've screwed up, I don't know how you're going to do it and I don't care, you've been in charge for 7 whole years, you've gotten yourself into this situation. We all know you can pull off some wonder-trades, and draft some great players, now build a damn team. Let go of Bargs, if this team doesn't make some big time changes before the end of this year, get B.C. on his way.

Plz tank all the way for top 3 pick, then bc can sell drafting as his strong suit to get the extension. Im serious.

First question in the interview for the new GM: Will you retain the scouting staff?

(Any answer but "yes" acceptable, including "I prefer Ouija boards.")

2nd worst team in the league and we were supposed to be in playoff contention. We don't even have a lottery pick this year unless we get lucky in the lottery. **** Colangelo.
