3/17 | G71: Miami Heat at Oklahoma City Thunder - 7PM CST

[Thunder Up]

Nader is really still in this game, and Billy Donovan has really still not called a timeout lmaoooooooo this has to be a sick joke, right?

[JustOneFix]

I'm from Europe. I am pretty confident in saying that Nader can not play even in Europe, let alone NBA. Off course, Billy's thinks otherwise.

[JustOneFix]

We'd been down by 25 if it wasn't for Grant.

[NaturalThunder]

This team really sucks. We're getting blown out at home by the Heat. We've been absolutely garbage since the All-Star break. I'm ready for our season to just end.

[Thunder Up]

I don't think I can watch a Billy Donovan coached team anymore... 25% of this possible loss is on the Heat making some really tough shots, 60% of it is on Billy being a complete joke of a coach, 15% of it is no Russ and PG13 being a turnover machine

[Dadouv47]

how is PG13 only attempting 10 shots tonight?

Because he turns it over every time he tries to drive it, or gets clamped by James Johnson

Is everyone still against rebuilding?

[Dn4sty]

Ferguson has been terrible post all star break.

Rebuilding won't matter without a legitimate coach that runs an actual system.

Is everyone still against rebuilding?

Depends. If we can't get Jrue or Beal I'm find with rebuilding.

Roberson will come back but best case scenario he will play at 80% of prior level.

One or two years or tanking would be ideal. I’m not against at least one really bad year like Atlanta had last year and then tart to show promise. Probably no one better than billy to facilitate that. Also, if ownership actually cares about ROI they should probably tell Presti to figure it out or hit the road.

Ferguson's trade value going down

They won't get one of those until they get rid of Presti. A rebuild starts at the top. The first step in fixing the organization is to fire Presti. Presti came from SA and it seems that he completely ignores the fact that SA is what they are because of Pop. He seemingly has tried his best to hire coaches that are opposite of what Pop is.

Seriously what does a rebuild actually even look like? After frustrating stretches (and I’m beyond frustrated) the default is a rebuild/blow it up take. Seriously though what are you going to get for Russ and his contract? What about Adams and his contract? Ferg has potential but has sucked royally post all star break.

Grant and George are the only “assets” and you don’t trade George unless he asks for it.

Think only 3-4 years before we manage to have a good team. Start the tank then 3 years of high draft picks.

Ferguson's trade value going down

One game does not effect the trade value of a 20 year old. Teams are not going to change their evaluation based on one game rather he goes off for 50 or goes 2-16. Am are we also to believe that Russ' trade value dropped this week because of his last game? If you are intellectually honest you have to say Russ' value dropped. If you are just looking to find something fictional to complain about then your post accomplished that.

It really just depends. If you get one good draft pick and hit on a pick in the teens like John Collins then life gets a lot easier.

I'm talking about 2 months, not 1 game

[NaturalThunder]

I've said it multiple times this year. A first round exit should absolutely equal Billy Donovan getting fired. Now there's more reason to fire him after a 1st round exit with this epic post-ASB collapse.
