Atrocious ball stopping offense down the stretch. Just atrocious

You think Jarrett Jack doesn’t want to win this game in NOLA?

Tied game, 1 minute left. Just how the Pels like to play it.

I didn't say that.

switch switch switch switch switch switch...what could possibly go wrong?

Erman is a blithering idiot. He runs the exact wrong style of defense for his roster. You switch everything when all your players are the same size. When you have this clear break between big guys and little guards, you pick your spots.

Might wanna guard Porzingis

KP vs Brow = Godzilla vs King Kong.

There is no comparison to the physicality of their games. And yes, physicality takers away a lot more energy than running in space.

Regardless, the big guys have every reason to be tired this year. Such a load.

Jrue LOL

Fitting that a former pelican wins it

Let’s see if we can get a decent play here... go to Cousins

I caj see It we are going to get a classic gentry play lmao

Nice job, AD. I REALLY hope we miss the playoffs. BLOW IT UP

Lmfao and that was an actual play call that is amazing good job gentry

Exactly what I thought would happen.

Sometimes I hate this team. Such a thin line between love and hate.

Move the 'cans to Seattle honestly

Fire gentry please.

Advantage inside, let's shoot another 3 instead.

Will this finally put Gentry on notice? Maybe another L to the Jazz will do it?

embarrassing

Mavs and Knicks were a combined 5-26 on the road coming in.

So I'll just say it: if you are ever going to fire Gentry and make a move, you would do it right now with the break until Weds. I don't think it will happen, but now would be the moment. Team just choked off it's momentum, put itself back in threat for a resurgent Clippers team, you've got days off and still a lot of soft games coming up for a new coach.

Otherwise, not much to do except circle these days and keep them in mind at the end of the year. Complete blown opportunity for no reason.

Oh well, on to the Saints game tomorrow. Let’s clinch this division.

Ports completely distroyed them inside. It was never an advantage this game.

As far as firing Gentry goes, I'll say it again. I don't care if we want to fire him but who takes over?

If the only options are Erman or Finch, I'd rather keep Gentry until years end and then clean house.

This will happen if we go into rebuild mode...this fan base can't support another 4 years of less than a mediocre product on the court. Clean house. Give the keys to Calipari.

Erman and Finch both had great reputations coming in

At what point does it become the players with the problems and not the coaching staff?

Are we even sure Finch is the main one pulling the strings on offense. Didn’t he have a decent head coaching record overseas?

I fully believe it's more on the players than the coaching staff.

It's more about I don't think Erman or Finch could handle Cousins and Rondo, maybe even AD now. Well, Erman I don't think could handle being a head coach at all. Finch I think has the potential but in this situation I don't think it'd work out for him.

Well, the thing is that if the complaint is that the team didn't use it's big guys enough...Cousins and Davis combined for 60pts 28reb.

If the complaint was the defense...well that is really Erman.

If the complaint is lack of talent...they looked more talented a few games ago, and that would be Demps.

And of course the other issues are a) who would replace him? Midseason like this you are really just talking about random assistant. Possibly Erman himself, who is responsible for the worst part of the Pels. Otherwise it's Finch, who is a complete wildcard who's already running his offense. I can't even think of any big name outside coaches that are truly available midseason this time. A couple of years ago there were a lot of them, but they all got hired in the same summer -- Thibodeau, Vogel, Brooks, Joerger. b) of course is that Cousins, who once had to endure 3 coaching changes in one season, has to be so so over that sort of instability.

The worst thing that ever happened to the team was Rondo breaking all kinds of records earlier this week.

It completely shattered all focus this team had. Now you can blame it on the coaches not keeping them on track, but at some point it falls on the players to keep pushing themselves.

14 to 6 run in 3 ****** minutes.

This team is officially stuck in NBA purgatory. Something has gotta give before the 2nd half of the season.

From time to time you hear people mocking fans by saying "sure, you know more than an NBA coach." But in this teams case, it is absolutely true.

Gentry is Tim Floyd.

I don't want to keep on going back and forth playing devil's advocate here, but since I really do see both sides of this one, the obvious counterargument would be that Alvin Gentry has coached in a ludicrous 905 career games now, and has a career .470 win%. In 15 seasons he's had a winning record exactly 3 times. He's either the unluckiest coach alive, or this sort of performance is right in line with what he always delivers.

It's like they say, the 15th time is the charm.

I said I believe it is more on the players than the coaching staff. Not that the coaching staff didn't deserve some blame.

Let's also not ignore the extremely unlucky injuries we've had for this season as well. We still have not played a single game with all of our starters this year and are probably still 2 months away from doing it.

I'm what way can't they handle DC, RR and AD?
Do you think they are deliberately ignoring the coaches?

Whenever I or David Wesley say they have an advantage inside, we are talking offense. And I'd let Finch take over.

I think Cousins is on his best behavior now trying to make it work but if we fired Gentry he would start seeing it disfunction and start lashing out more. Rondo is a hot head too that might or might not keep it together under a coaching change.

And AD is influenced by Cousins. Just look at Durant and Draymond. Durant is a totally different personality now. I believe AD could keep it together but I'm not 100% that Cousins would fire him up enough to be a handful.

At haltftime almost 35% of their shots came from 3 land. By game's end it's 31%.

That is an adjustment that shouldn't have needed to be made. No reason to come out firing so many 3s against the Knicks.
