Cousins and Isaiah have 10 of our 15 turnovers so far!

philosophically I thought we were going to start seeing the youth play and determining who to keep on our roster. Our big three played around 40 mins tonight. Guess wins are still paramount when we are 22-41

Rudy with 21 looks is a little much for me

Tomorrow is going to be a heck of a game

I don't want a coach who is determined to lose. There are ethics you know.

This team consistently gets back into their bad habits when things aren't going well. Tonight Isaiah started to go right back in the pick and roll when his shots weren't falling instead of taking an open jumper he would drive straight into traffic where there was very little room to operate. The only real successful pick and roll I saw tonight was once again from the combo of Gay and Cousins out of that timeout.

I think they're just ready for the season to be over. Everything has suddenly become half-assed, and one bad play is enough to discourage them for the rest of the game. No sharing of the ball, no running, and the same story over and over again on defense. Fundamentals are suffering and I don't think it's because they suck. Just tired and nothing to play for.

Are you referring to my post? What does not playing the starters 40 minutes a night have to do with "being determined to lose". There is a big difference between winning not being your primary objective when your out of a playoff race and being determined to lose. IMO the development of our players should be paramount when winning doesn't statistically help. But I guess its opinion

We already missed out on our chance to tank. You don't tank through your players or coaching staff. You tank through your GM and front office.


It's the player's and coaches' job to try to win every game.

It's the front office and GM's job to recognize how to set up the team in the best manner possible. (Does anyone play chess, sometimes you need to sacrifice your own pieces in order to ultimately win)
