All the comments above mine and that one's triggering. :lol:


Lol hey I'm negative a lot, but at least I just don't fire away with that. I also try to be positive.

Try being the key word.

Ok so the answer Lee gave was riding the hot hand in Mann. But it didn’t work and he was mostly a negative in the 4th. He had 5 points, 2 turnovers and several fouls including an offensive foul. Which is whatever but is that what you felt was more productive than the leading scorer in the 4th quarter in the NBA?

It was a dumb decision and it resulted in a predictable outcome. Clutch pearls if you must, gasp in horror if it helps, but it was a poor coaching decision.

Never said he ain't it though. I do think he is it. Doesn't mean I can't disagree with what he does or did.

I don't think he's the right guy. I was all for giving him a shot. Good pedigree, solid potential. It's early and he can turn it around. But it's giving major 24-58 vibes.

Really?

We have LaMelo.. We have Brandon Miller... and we need one more piece to beat the nets who have nobody....?

Maybe we need a coach that knows something about x's and o's if we can't beat the nets...

How many top draft picks should we need to beat a team that doesn't have any...?

I was and am still a fan of Steve Clifford as a basketball mind and human being. Did he make me want to throw myself off a roof a few times yeah sure. Doesn't mean I never thought he was "it"

Well he eventually made me feel that way but it took years.

i dont believe this team was built to win this year. its meant to be the start of a new culture and build and progressing.

if they really wanted to win, surely they would have signed another centre to help out

When was the last year this franchise was built to win? 2017-18? At what point does that cease to become an excuse with a 1-2 punch like this? Serious question.

Brother this is the most competitive we have been in years. I think this is why all of us mostly me are pissed. We are actually in games instead of being down by 20 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd. I do think we are one depth piece away and a center away, though from being something serious.

We should have drafted Edey like you said. At least the center spot wouldn't be a question mark right? :D

I'd rather lose by 24 with backups than have a solid lineup that should win comfortably and lose by 1 to an inferior team with our star being benched by a hotshot rookie coach.

Charles Lee is having to play a 6’6 Grant Williams at center and we are playing Cody Martin and Josh Green 25 minutes a night. I don’t get how you can look at this roster and expect someone to come in and perform a magic trick and lead us to a .500 or better record. We just went 20-37 from 3 and lost. I think the expectations of this team are too high. We’ve got a lot of talent but without a true center and much better 3 and D guys. It’s hard to compete in the new NBA

Yeah im not getting the Lee slander. These games are competitive we just aren't winning some of them.

We still have no starting center, people are forgetting that. Sure we have Melo/Miller but they need help.
