Well, at least gambo and sarver got a taste of mediocre terry. I'm almost ready to make a play for Butler. Is it too late though?

I don't mind Book taking over in the fourth. Now that I calm down a little, I realize the failure was purely a defensive one. We played good D in the first half. in the second they ran it down our throat. Especially in the 4th.

I wish they would allow me to curse here because some of you people are pure idiots. Stop blaming Anderson,Canaan and Booker. The main reason we lost this game is because we have a clueless and soft C and a arse clown coach

You used to provide some valuable reasonable input. Much less so at this point.

Worst part is that Marcus had to be the one to hit the shot...

C'mon, you know it wasn't.

Isn't it on him to change that though?

It depends....Phil tried it with Kobe and Kobe started passing and never took a shot. It's a tough road to navigate to some extent when he has closed the final moments at times. But yes, he should have told them to stay in their offense...but with potential turnovers that could have been a reason too not to move it too much.

I definitely wasn't expecting us to play this well tonight, and the ending sucks, but overall I was very happy with them being as competitive as they were.

A Booker made free throw or two near the end and we win. Could have gone either way.

Point is 17 point lead in the 4th quarter it shouldnt have come to could have gone either way. again ill give Igor time but that was a poor coaching job, poor subsitions at the end and poor game management. And he just confirmed it in his press conference, we were gassed poor rotations poor switching, well then take Ayton and Caanan and Ariza out.

Anderson is pure garbage and Canaan is a G-League point guard.

I will continue to blame them until they are both gone.

Really? Then why do sports have dominant coaches that all have 1 trait in common? Getting there players to buy in. Sports are very political.

I was thinking the same, but Bridges didn't shoot particularly well or do too much when he was in. But his D would have helped. That's one thing I think Igor should have done considering the way he played the other night.

Now I know people are getting nervous!

We will be ok guys. If you have been watching every year you know we are so much closer than 12 months ago. Lets take our lumps and do our crying, and come back strong tomorrow. These guys can learn from this. Great film in the 4th.
This was not a loss we cannot fix. Actually its nearly all fixable. Misses happen. What we needed to do was lock down defensively in the 4th.

This is starting to look like another cop out cheap hire by Sarver. Hire the cheapest alternative inexperienced coach, fire them, repeat.

I sent my coaching resume to Sarver. Said I had no experience coaching, but I would work for $25,000 per year. I have an interview on Monday. I feel good about my chances.

Every team's star player makes more than the coach. It's a player's league.

How does the most gifted big man on the court disappear at times? Does he like basketball? Arizona fans, chime in? Why is he not engaged at times?

This has to be pure anger/emotion (crime of passion!). Because if you're comparing Koko to Hunter or saying Earl Watson was better than Koko, you're not making any sense.

Booker was great. This isn't on him. The rest of the team and Igor choked down the stretch.

If we're doing the dribble for 20 seconds and get a bad shot play, they should at least tell Booker that he can do that with maybe one minute on the clock not four. He did that **** a lot last year too.

Yeah, hopefully he will learn.

Overreacting here but I'd fire Igor tonight if I could. He isn't even mad at the press conference. R u kidding me?

He is a team player trying to stay within the system and the game.

Welp. Back to Red Dead 2. Should probably have just kept playing earlier. Better for my blood pressure for sure.
