You keep saying this over and over. You know this isn't the sole reason guys offensive game suffer in this offensive system.

Surely all of us have had that one boss that tried to be everyone’s friend and then when it’s time to hold people accountable or lay down the law he doesn’t know how and can’t—that is Mosely…

The only reason the defense was stellar was because of Dale Osbourne…


Osbourne is still here.


Exactly… And Mosely is responsible for prioritizing scheme and identity… They should have kept defense as the priority and trusted that Bane would hit the shots KCP missed last year…

If we stayed healthy and KCP shot 38% (or Banes 41%) last year—what would have been outcome? You don’t need a wholesale identity change…

He is NOT a head coach!

Every offseason I read how WCJ is at the best shape of his life and then season starts

AB does seem to be really making an effort to attack so far this season.

I joke about the curse but Bane suddenly not shooting well is pretty crazy. He’s actually talented unlike KCP. This is kind of crazy so far. Hopefully it’s just a chemistry thing



I just went through his game log last season to see just how crazy his cold shooting actually is right now. He had eight games last season where he went 0-fer, including an 0-7. But obviously, given his really good percentage, there's a limit to how cold he has ever gotten in his career.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Goga & Isaac gotta go. WCJ should be a backup, we gotta go get a starting Center & PG. AB is a bench player

That's literally not what's happening lol. People are complaining about Franz not touching the ball but also eating up every possession? It can't be both.

Paolo is playing like who he is. It's not as bad as last year but he will always have an iso component.


Hilarious how literally nothing is Mosely’s fault.

It’s all on the players. Terrible shooting team for years and it’s mysterious juju why every known decent shooter just falls off the map.


Sure sure sure


Yes, the players play on the court. Do you think fans would ever care about the "process" of an open shot if we miss them all versus another team hitting contested ones? I'd say 1/10 people would actually admit that lol.

If they aren't playing defense + not listening to the coach, replace him. That's what I'd care about more if players continue missing.

And most coach firings are only done because that's the move they CAN make without blaming players.

This ain't it, chief.
We lost our identity by trying to chase pace on offense almost exclusively instead of building something on top of what we had before.

See this is what I am talking about Paolo makes an awful boneheaded lazy play then he is grinning sheepishly…. He needs to rip him a new one for that.
