I refuse to vote. Fire Donovan now if we want to have any shot at keeping George.

On one hand we're not beating the warriors unless we fire Donovan.

On the other, this doesn't concern me too much in some aspects. Russ will figure out a balance. Chemistry issues with newly formed superteams are very real. Time is needed. It'll get better. Not to the extent we want or need, but it will get better.

donovan's lineup choices are poor. aside from the big three issues.

it's just unfathomable that andre roberson received fewer 4Q minutes than jerami grant and alex abrines.

Only positive is that gsw's meltdown takes some heat off of us.

Also Russ was straight garbage, Melo was crap, and we still 'only' lost by 10?

The Warriors are 1-2 and didn't look overly impressive against the Pelicans last night.

And the Cavs lost by 21 to the bleeping Magic?

But he's just "experimenting" because he's a "genius" who "outcoached Pop and Kerr".

PG/Melo started slow but found their rhythm late, if Russ could have hit a couple shots and cut the turnovers in half who knows what happens.

Gobert owned the paint tho.

So here's an interesting question: Would you trade Melo in exchange for Snyder as our head coach?

I'll trade PG for Snyder and Ingles.

I thought he was rather unimpressive tonight. no blocks, and a lot of our missed layups weren't even contested by him. We just flat sucked so maybe he didn't even need to dominate.

By the way, can we all stop pretending that Adams is in any way shape or form on Rudy gobert's level? A lot of us fall into that trap and every time I've seen them play it's just obvious that gobert impacts the game significantly more than Adams does.

Rudy Gobert is probably the best Center in the NBA, so clearly not.

melo 'found his rhythm' after another slow start according to rotten apple. another game where he led the team in fga, on 50% ts or less.

had melo made shots to start and made less later i'm sure it'd be melo had his rhythm to start but lost it as the game went on.

either way, a meaningless commentary on what occurred during the game, since melo still scored 26 points on 50% ts no matter how you dress it up.
