Honestly the only time I can remember is recently when TNT had their players only crew commentating our game, and McHale was basically criticising the team as best he could without directly implying that Donovan is a bad coach. But even that was a welcome change.

Yeah. That was great and sad to hear at the same time. It was like they could only do so much to not say 'What on earth are they doing?'. They were basically dissecting our strategy right there on National Television, and as an attentive fan all you could think was 'They're right. They're right about everything'.

We really need some major changes in the summer. If we can't get that 2nd star, they need to happen on the organizational level. We can't waste any more years of Russ' prime.

The issues that come with having so many defensive one way players who can't shoot and score are really starting to show up now. Roberson, Adams, Sabonis, Grant and Christon are all playing big roles with this team and not only can this team not stop anybody defensively they just don't provide enough support for Russ offensively to be consistent. What the average fan and people in the media don't get is that the more efficient your offense is the better your defense will be because when you're taking bad shots and not scoring as often it gives the other teams more transition opportunities. The reality is that playing so many guys like Roberson who just completely suck balls offensively is actually bleeding into the defense and giving this kid the starting role and playing him over 30 minutes per game is just a recipe for disaster. Roberson should never get more than 10-12 minutes and should be coming off the bench. Donovan had better figure things out quickly and quit tinkering with lineups or they're going to be out of the playoffs after one round. They are playing terrible basketball right now.

Our starters are absolutely elite defensively.

Posting that rambling mess after that game is wow.
