of course. im sure he is bitter nash got the HC job over him.

Some unqualified white dude gets the HC job because his buddy is the GM while you paid your dues as an assitant and have to be he underling?

And he was making a ton of tough contested shots.

Again this franchise is cursed. This happens to us every time.

He had many open 3s and he was guarded by guys 5-6" shorter than him and 20-30 lbs lighter. We gave him a mismatch nearly every time. We were essentially begging for him to get hot. if you let him get a rhythm, he can do this. He's done it plenty of times before and at least a few times to us.



Yeah I mean maybe you double him at half court and make him give it up like teams have done to our stars for 2 years to cool them off.

Another gift from Harden quitting on us. But you guys think he was justified in his actions.


He was justified in requesting a trade. How he went about it however was not good.

I would want off this team too. The coaching staff is clueless, Kyrie is a clown. I don't blame Harden one bit for getting away from here.


He cost us 10 straight losses.

wanting out for "good reasons" dont justify you quitting on the team and flying to vegas strip club between losses in a 10-game losing streak while being paid the Max.

Harden is a bum.

My thoughts a day later after cooling down....

1) LMA hits open shots, which is nice. But honestly he shouldn't be in the rotation. Before drummond he was out best bet to rebound and vs. backups he is ok. But defensively he cant switch or block/alter shots. And no matter how many mid range shots he hits, we are still likely better off with someone else on the floor. Drummond needs to play. figure out whose with him. Claxton or Blake. and just run with that unless an injury hits

2) I love James Johnson. He has a role on this team. playing 20-25 minutes of point-forward is not that role. We have Dragic now. Kyrie was back. Let johnson be a glue guy. And for christ sake someone get in his ear about not overhelping.

3) I've said this since like his first week playing with us, but Kevin Durant has a MAJOR achilles heel and its protecting the ball when doubled/passing out of double teams. I'm shocked when teams don't just hard double him on every possession. we rarely make teams pay for doing it. He needs to correct it, its bad.

4) We challenge a horrible, obviously correct call here. but then refuse to challenge late, critical, obvious blown calls in the last 30 seconds of other games. its been a problem all year. we need to delegate that to someone with a clue.

5) Why do we CONSTANTLY leave corner shooters open to help/double team a non-scoring threat near the paint? Like honestly let grant williams shoot a floater over curry for 2 before leaving Brown or Tatum wide open.

6) How many times does the pick and roll need to destroy us before we adjust?

We have Kyrie, KD, elite role shooters, an elite rebounder and pieces that fit. there is no excuse to be losing games right now. we are officially a losing team with a losing record. Nash's thoughts on that

"as long as we improve, thats what matters"

no dipshlt, what matters is winning games and making the playoffs.

People can blame Kyrie, or Harden, or injuries but end of the day the coaching has cost us 10-15 games

This team is just so awful defensively.

Like the worst team in the NBA this year.

I don't believe our defensive talent is just bad. Just seems like we have NO IDEA what we are doing.

Some of that can be blamed on having no continuity. But also we just have no coaching on that end.

Nash's switching scheme is an abject failure. He needs to abandon it immediately.

Enough of the constant switching leaving 3 point shooters wide open. It doesn't work.

you cant switch AND help. the entire point of switching is so that you dont have to hedge/help on screens and leave corners open. we switch and then send over-reaction help off the corner when a non-scoring threat drives to the hoop.

He should be since he actually knows how to coach and make adjustments.

Its hard not to improve on going 3-17.

The idea that being better then the worst team in the NBA over a 6 week span is the bar is ludacris. I know the media has a hard on for durant and kyrie, but the fact that nash has skated with them is curious

Why are we doubling Al Horford at the foul line while Jason Tatum is wide open in the corner?

Nash is an idiot. Anyone who defends him is utterly clueless.

The whole staff needs to be thrown out in the street

With Jarrett Allen out for the rest of the season probably, Cavs may be in free fall.

Our best bet maybe the Raptors pass them for 6th. Then Cavs are in 7th.

I think theres a good shot we beat Cleveland and Kyrie can play in this game.

7th puts us against Philly in the First Round. I would honestly rather play Miami.

That challenge on a clear foul on Claxton was absolutely mind boggling. Nash has zero clue as to what he's doing

Teams ahead of us will slide. the problem is we still need to win games and everyone ahead of us owns the tiebreaker, so thats 1 extra game we need to make up.

Even with Allens injury i dont see how in the world we win 7 more games then the Cavs from this point out.

like if they go 5-12 we would need to go 12-5. i dont think that is realistic

We cant get the 7th seed.

7 vs. 8 winner = 7 seed.

if 7 loses they play the winner of 9 vs. 10 for the 8 seed

highest we can obtain is the 8 seed if we finish 9th.
