Yes. Wittman's coaching job is safe. There is no way he'll get fired unless EG goes with him, and Ted isn't going to fire EG midseason.

But Vesely should have been there in the end to defend.

Defend who? You think Vesely should have defended Horford? Are you serious? Horford would have gotten whatever position he wanted.

In 1.8 seconds?

I don't know about that Nate.

Well, at least the bright side is our bench outscored theirs. That's a first in WEEKS.

18 minutes 5 rebounds 8 pts

36 minutes is 10 and 16 That is solid production in anyones book.

Anyway, going small ball to defend the last play was stupid. Should have had Gortat on the inbound and Ves under the basket. Booker had a great rebounding and offensive game, but he is short and not known for his defense.

Game on Ted. Time to fire some people. Shake things up. This is getting old.

Have to give Wall the blame for this one. 22 shots when you can't make anything?

His effort on D is inconsistent too. He was a spectator too often.

That game was right there for us to steal and we pissed away chance after chance.

This team still sucks in winning time and they still suck on the road.

That was literally an indefensible move.

Or at least put Gortat/Vesely on the inbounder to make it more difficult to make that sort of cross-court pass.

3 close games in a row. We probably would have won all 3 if we had Nene to close it out. This team is so hopelessly reliant on an injury prone 31-year old that it's pathetic.

Well, that injury-prone 31-year-old is a pretty damn good player.

Yeah, he didn't do that against Gortat and Booker. He eat their lunch all game. Had like 20 in the first half alone making bunnies and dunks.

Put him on the inbounder. Get him in there for length.

I don't know about that Nate.

Gotten position before the ball was inbounded.

I can't believe this is an issue. Blame Wittman for sitting Gortat? Sure. But you don't blame him for sitting Jan freaking Vesley in crunch time when Booker was having a career night.

I can take gettin blown out, but all these 1 possession losses r beginning to hurt. Hollins made the grizz tough, i cant help but wonder if Its mental toughness we lack, or all around intelligence, sigh.

I dont truly agree with everyone continuing to say that. Obviously he's big but pretty much everytime Nene is hurt, we have otehr guys hurt also. Like I think we win tonight if we have Beal. Last 2 games weve had no Beal or Webster. People keep acting like its just Nene. Book had 24 & 12. Truthfully, if Wall plays decent earlier then we win
