Thank God for our semi-competent FO
The whole Thibs getting fired thing really made me appreciate how low key we are. It could have been us, firing Vogel for no reason. I wish I had more to say but it was just a thought I wanted to share.

Nah, no worries. One thing I love overall about this franchise under the Simons ownership and the leadership of Walsh/Bird/Pritchard is that they tend to be methodical, patient, and willing to let things play out. Is that frustrating when we think we should make moves like dumping Murphy/Dunleavy? Sure. But is it better overall when you have a young coach like Vogel that you think can be really good, but just needs some time and maybe a solid assistant coach or two? Absolutely.

It's boring but I'd have it no other way.

I'd take the semi- out of the equation.
Given how much money they spend, they are top third in the league.

Re: Thank God for our semi-competent FO
But we really would have made some headlines if we had fired Vogel midseason and replaced him with George Karl....
