Terry's passing has been horrendous all night. Lazy and dumb.
Amazed he's only been credited with three TO's thus far - feel like I've seen him basically throw the ball into a defender 5-6 times.

Games like this get coaches on the hot seat. Just a ridiculous lack of effort even though I've always believed it's on the players themselves to hype themselves up.

Definitely when we need a coach who will raise hell/motivate/inspire. It's like we have this invisible quit line we cross every game - or as Eric calls it - "Winning Time!"

Eh it's hard to motivate millionaires with a speech. Just saying tonight is the first time in a while where most of the players just looked like meh.

Our offense is so anemic. Guys in the same space. Running into each other. Clogging the paint. Standing around. This isn’t professional basketball.

Yeah. I don't think it's either/or. Coaches and players play a part. Millionaires, but kid millionaires - and kids with a lot of money has never been a recipe for self-discipline and motivation. Sure, a lot are self-motivated and locked in - they had to be to get to this level, but a lot skate by on talent - only takes a couple of guys jogging back or making lazy rotations to poison the well. Coaches (Cliff) need to call that ish out on occasion.
As Swedd says, we see this every game. If the coach isn't at least part of the problem then we need to blow most of the roster up.

Heavily disagree with you there. We've lost a lot and been ridiculously out talented but more often than not we played hard. Didn't see that tonight.

Have to agree to disagree on this. I think the games where we've played hard for 4 quarters this year are far, far fewer than those where we've taken entire quarters (or halves) off. Eye of beholder.

Cliff rightfully singing Cody's praises at presser - alludes to him being a reason for the uptick in our D.
Also notes that Terry had trouble with the Bulls bringing a second defender over on the PnR

Man I want some of your sunshine.
This team has been rotten since before opening night. I count maybe 5 games of full engagement and GAF all season long.
