Massive bailout foul from the referee on a nothing play. They hit a 3

Lol why do we still have the starters in? We are down 19 with 3 minutes to go.

May as well give the youngsters some burn surely.

JB's ongoing lunacy.

Pritchard looks like the type of dude who has a peep hole into his sisters bedroom.

These 50 seconds will be big for Thor. Howzabout putting him on Tatum 8 minutes ago.

Two blowout home losses in two nights.

As officer Barbrady (JB) would say "Okay move along, move along people, there's nothing to see here!"

He's apparently a good coach though!

I think we’re seeing the acceptance by the staff, and many players, that this squad shot it’s wad earlier in the year, and they’ve got no answer for how to get it going again. Coach drives us nuts with his prison march dedication to the same old lineups and same old habits. Melo drives us nuts as he clearly was more thrilled to get added as an all-star, debit his colorful shoes and be a video star than to become a disciplined dedicated leader. Miles is trying but I think his extreme minutes have helped add to the burnout he’s exhibiting now.

This team ultimately wasn’t much better than last season. They still rely on three point success alone to dictate how the outcome is likely to turn. The defense mindset they were developing last year died with the addition of Plumlee, Oubre and Melo’s matador methodology. Think about all the liabilities defensively. Then think about how much fun it is to see them turned ON when everything is going good on shots, passes, etc. WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS! Problem is the circus isn’t sustainable. Sadly we are not showtime East.

33% coaching staff has no clue what to do and is constantly unprepared, 33% we don't have the right veterans around our young players, 33% LaMelo is still learning how to make his impact and is a year or two away

We need a Hawks-like infusion of veterans around LaMelo and Bridges this offseason somehow.

Are you living in a bubble? You must be the only one although I note with admiration your unwavering loyalty to the guy.

Both issues you bring up are intertwined by the way.

I'm not loyal at all. He just got extended, meaning after last season our FO said we like the job he's done. It's unrealistic to think they're going to do an about face after one season where our best player (according to Mitch) has been hurt and show him the door.

Six months to a year is a long time in the NBA. You can go from penthouse to outhouse very quickly.

Ok, find me an example of a coach that got extended, got more wins the next year, and got fired after that season.

I've got a better idea, I'll remove/merge threads from people that disagree with my opinion because I'm a moderator.

For the record I'm currently at a concert and not merging posts. Guessing it's BigSlam.

100% it was me.

Completely unnecessary to start a new thread just because you don’t like the coach when there was already an existing thread about the guy to discuss the guy.

And luciano-davidwesley you don’t need to worry about how the board is moderated or attempt to back seat moderate. We got this.

Fair to say JB was not happy with Kelly:

I'm not trying to backseat moderate. I've always steered clear of that stuff as you would be aware.

I don't appreciate that you removed my poll that was attempting to gauge the sentiment of the board either way towards JB. A thread that I posted in an impartial manner despite my own opinion with fair options for posters to vote either way. A poll can't be posted in the existing dedicated JB thread and therefore I needed to start a new thread.

You don't think it would be interesting to see in a poll if the board would like to keep JB as head coach? Or you don't like debate and/or opinions that don't align with yours?
