Killian Hayes is really bad at playing basketball

3rd time Killian does the same thing with the same result. He jumps hoping to see someone open, and the result is a TO. How dumb can he be to continue doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

Why is he playing? He had one okish month, and now is back being the garbage player he is. Play Sasser ffs.

Nah, this team needs to lose every single game until Monty no longer has a job. I don't care about morale or whatever. He's the Josh Smith of this squad. He plays Killian out there like he's Luka Doncic. Bench is out there forever against Barnes, Siakam, etc. Get Monty off this team, man.

Just can't bring myself to be angry at any player really, except Burks who's a jester.

Montys job is to put the players in a position to succeed, and he has failed spectacularly at this.

What the HELL is this lineup? Why? I can't wrap my head around his rotations.

He’s brutal. :banghead:

He’s had some decent games, flashes of potential and he definitely tries hard on defense but it’s just not worth it anymore.

We’ve suffered having to watch him and be patient for years.

With so much youth, I can’t take him anymore, essentially with his impending free agency.

I just want him gone.

Sasser and Bagley in the doghouse.

Their rotations on defense look a little better

Would be great if Cade or Ivey showed up here at some point. Should probably be up by like 12-15 if either of them were doing anything offensively

Gary Trent flopped there, and Monty should challenge that call, but he won't. He saves them for the end of the year like a squirrel.

His cheeks overfloweth.

It looks like Ivey has been playing free of late. He needs to stay aggressive even if it means he goes out of control at times

We're doing great on defense, even Ivey being great there and Knox is playing well on both sides. Toronto is bad.

I want to add, that Kevin Knox is a rotation player for sure. I like his game, and he is a perfect backup 3/4 for any team.

He shoots, plays defense, and is smart.

Yeah, hard to know how much is the defense or Toronto's ugly offense.

Just like when a team misses FTs, missing easy layups is contagious, too.

Look at Monty talking to the refs. That was another call he could have challenged.

Whatever. I just accept we have a potted plant for a coach.
