And who hired Scott Brooks?

BTW, looking at the box score

0 minutes for Oubre and Satoransky (and yes he should have been playing over Jennings since at least Satoransky could defend).
Bojan only took 2 shots (and look what he has done since).
Wall played the entire 2nd half and perhaps as a result struggled.

EG had 2 first round picks in 2011 (6,18). There were quality players all over that draft (Kawhi, Klay, Tobias, Butler, Kemba pop to mind) yet somehow he managed to draft two guys (Vesely, Singleton) who were out of the league in 3 years.

Of course who can forget trading the 5th pick (Curry draft) for two expiring deals (Foye, Miller) who left as free agents.

Mahinmi…. :nonono:

And let's not forget all the 2nd round picks that he pissed away, either trading them or selling them.

I am absolutely stunned that EG hasn't found another NBA job.

He's obviously on the beach living the fine life while weebs cry about what he's done to a sports team they watch on a screen sometimes.
