You know he was dropping F bombs.


Dude was coaching completely different than early in the season lol. He's doing rogue for wins. He's pulling guys who struggle and making good rotation decisions

My guy has thrown development out the window haha. Trying to show Twitter he’s a competent coach or something.

Tbh tho, one thing I’ve noticed is the team is making fewer glaring mistakes. It also helps to have Barnes healthy and comfortable, KO playing well, Boucher playing well, and Brown playing for a contract.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Gradey is a damn pylon on D, he’s actually unplayable on that end. That was alarming to watch how many times he lost track of his man

Boucher, Mitchell and Brown are all looking for new contracts. You can't just sit those guys. What's our other option? Sit Barnes?

We can't tank when we have too many good rotation pieces. They've also been playing together for several games now and the chemistry has developed

Deadline can't come soon enough.

Great showcase game for the vets. Boucher Brown and Mitchell all making their value shown.

But damn it I miss the ethical tank games where we'd find a way to lose. We have too much talent for a true tank. Thank goodness for all the early season losses.

And if you want teams to buy them, you have to play them. Prove they're healthy and productive.

Ideal scenario is we deal a handful of them in the coming weeks, play a young bench and lose enough to stay bottom 6.

We still need to tank hard to close out the season after the deadline. That Feb schedule should help. But it's good to see the team play well. People need to realise though that tanking won't be easy.

the fact that some on here think he is an average defender is laughable.

We were playing a 10 day, it’s tanking any other day

Yes you can ignore them on the bench - they are not in the long term plans of this team.

next 3 games against Pelicans, Wizards, Bulls.....could potentially have 8 wins in the last 9 games.

At that point, Masai can confidently say "I owe it to the guys, who worked so hard, to go for it (play-in)"
