W T F is wrong with us? This is painful. Zero fire.

So, upside to potentially losing by 20 at home to a crappy 1-5 Wiz squad is Cliff has to be under the magnifying glass. Has to be. Just has to be.

Getting rid of Clifford should be obvious. We can't use the injury excuse again for not being a good team.

Yes, happened to me too. I'm watching on league pass via amazon prime video.

The Wiz are supposed to be the worst team in the league. Led by Kuzma and Poole.

We have, even with injuries and no Miles, a more talented team.

This is all on Cliff.

This is deja vu from the Kemba/Jefferson teams.

Gordo has impeccable posture when dribbling. We have that.

None of you saying we should have a different coach are wrong but I think you are being unrealistic as to what the prospects of replacement are. I firmly believe this is a lame duck season with new ownership, they don't really an have incentive to spend money on something they inherited like coaching and the front office. The worse the team is naturally, the better draft pick they get and they get to present the new front office and coach as the start of a new exciting era.

And the flip side is that if the team does well, you get to still reevaluate everything in the offseason. They have nothing to lose outside of fan goodwill and ticket sales, which isn't nothing, but I think they would expect you can get that back with promotion.

Oh yeah, I'd put the odds that either Cliff or Mitch get canned at maybe 5%.

One of the things I find frustrating about Clifford is he's presented as a teacher guy with a teacher background which is great because teachers are great and all but why do his team seem to have such regularly low bbiq? Maybe it's unfair, he seems stoked about Miller who has an obviously high bbiq, but how often is our feeling as viewers "What are you DOING?" vs "Smart basketball play". Just getting in my own rants.

To put things in perspective we are being blown out at home by an awful Wizards team.

This is looking like it's going to be a looong season.

Starting to jump on the Cliff sucks bandwagon too.

The franchise would've been better off just letting Borrego coach through his extension.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
