If only we could field a lineup of 5 French Franks.

I'm just super over this team consistently losing the plot for quarters at a time.

Super casual turnover by Melo. He's playing like a rattled child.

The amount of dumb fouls he pulls when he's frustrated. Lucky the foul was called on Ish.

Yeah we might be due a coaching change regardless of the GM situation cos this is just utterly unacceptable. Even if it's just promoting an assistant for a few months. Cliff isn't working and he still insists on playing Ish with Melo FFS.

I'm not sure why Ish plays at all. Even Frank would be better than him. The only reason he even came here is because he wanted to retire, and Charlotte is his home town so at least he gets to play close to his family.

Agreed. At best he should be playing spot minutes backing up Melo when Frank is playing wing.

He has absolutely no business playing off-ball when we have Martin, Miller and NS Jr that can do that at the 2 guard spot.

These cowards have completly given up. Absolutely no effort on D and Melo just jacking up early shot clock bad contested off the dribble threes. Shame on you all.

No wonder PJ can't rebound. He can't even time his jump for them.

Had a laundry list of game observations but only one seems pertinent:

Cliff should never have been our coach, should not be our coach, and should be fired posthaste. He lost the team a long, long time ago, and letting a young and lost team corkscrew its way deeper and deeper into loser culture is more dangerous than any nonsense about ignoring proper FO process. FFS, the Bucks currently owe 18mm to 3 coaches (fired Griffin after 43 games) and are 2nd in the east, and we're going to question the optics of firing our stink bomb well poisoner of a coach when we're a laughingstock? We have young guys that need real leadership and the longer we keep Clifford the longer the ripple effects will be of his **** hire.

(Also, LaMelo looked awful - full on floppy ragdoll mode, Ashley, Cliff gets away with standing about a full foot into the court a lot, and Ashley).

Surreal has been robbed of a lot of its power through overuse, so let me go with friggin' surreal. It was friggin' surreal.

I think there is a difference between the team giving up and quitting on the coach and a team that is frustrated. LaMelo, Brandon in foul trouble, immediately pick up 2 tickytac fouls to start the 3rd on Brooks flopping and flailing around. We just looked like we wanted to turn the game off and go do something else for a few hours, but we were in hell.

Hopefully it is a learning experience for the team, I can't say I have seen them act like that all year so hopefully it was just something in the air last night.
