Does anybody honestly think they will make a comeback and win this game? I don't.


Always happy to be wrong all the time.

Tell Lamar Stevens to switch jerseys with Alec Burks so we can take him home.

Why did we inbound under our own basket with a timeout?

It's like our coach just said to our starting 5. Go out there and figure it out.. :nonono:

Pritchard is in now.

Also, we're gonna win the game so I guess his rotations late in the 4th and in OT worked out ok.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

What we clearly are not good enough to cleanly beat the worst team in the league without what I hear is our 5th best player.

You have to credit Joe for not having a loser's mentality in this game.

I also thought the Cs would have folded and moved on to tomorrow's game.

Great third quarter. That's a good sign.

Managed to get an OT win. I guess that's a good thing.

Other than that, a substandard effort. Can't believe we couldn't keep them off the glass.

Come on guys, if the Cs lost a lot of Cs fans would be angry.

Cs win and some are still upset?

This is the NBA!

Substandard effort plus getting clobbered on the boards and the Cs still win.

Mark of a great team.

Or how about insert some of our high energy bench players to offset our low energy starters and win going away all while not burning out our starters in a long season?

You were saying? :noway:

Did you think our end of game execution was good? If we execute like that we ain’t winning s***. We lucked out that they missed a few wide open threes, an unclear goldtend and Ivy fouling out. We can’t be ending fourth quarters like that.

I would rather credit Joe for having an "in game" adjustment strategy..

That's really very subjective because you want Joe to coach the way you want him to coach.

IMO the results are more important than wanting Joe to be the perfect coach.
