I expected a Dennis Green type press conference but Watson acts like nothing happened.

This was embarrassing, one of the worst games in the history of the franchise.

We are the laughingstock of the league and it's well deserved.

I can not imagine a worse game to begin the season.... :banghead: HORRIBLE.

Time to bring Barkley in. No way he tolerates losing like this.

For me, the things that irk me the most are:

1. It was our home opener. After we were up 9-2, we let the fans down (in house or at home).
2. Losing by this much means we came into the season unprepared. Even the preseason we didn't look good. Not sure if that's on Watson or just that we're a very young team still.

I don't expect we'll see a loss close to that one the rest of the way (I think we'll win our next game actually) but if we are worse than last season, or we don't see any development from our young players, then Watson will be on the hot seat.
If nothing else, there's no way we keep Bledsoe and Chandler should we not improve.

I did fall asleep mid-2nd and never woke back up (on the east coast coming off just a few hours sleep after a foo fighters show the night prior).
Can someone just give me a run down of the good and the bad?
Did Jackson look bad or just lost because the team is new to him?
What about Ulis, Peters, DJJ, and Mike James?

I messaged him sometime in the past year. He hasn't watched much but said he may tune in this year. If he watched this game then I assume he won't be watching another one for a while.

I'm actually interested to see how the players come out on Friday. If we see another blowout after the Lakers are on the 2nd night of a back to back then I fully expect some drastic changes.

Then I hope we get blown out again. This team is not doing a damn thing with with Earl at the helm. I am terrified at the lasting impact his complete disregard for accountability is going to have on our young players. Him, Bledsoe, and Chandler HAVE to go.

That was not how I was hoping to spend my night. An embarrassing effort all around.

They won't change the starting lineup but I'd like to see: Bledsoe, Booker, Jackson, Bender, Len. I think Jackson and Bender is a better front court pairing that provides good defense and better spacing.

That leaves Warren as the focus on scoring with the 2nd unit. Use Ulis to facilitate with Daniels taking 3 pointers and Chandler grabbing rebounds/lobs. Chriss can do whatever Chriss does.
