How many more double digit leads will we blow this season

How many more time will we low these big leads?

Ill go with 15+
And its not only double digit, its 20+ also.
Its not like we blew 10 point lead. It was +24 at one point...

Roster on paper is top 4 in the West.
Willie as coach is bottom 5.

Which equals where they are at as a team - top 8-10 in the West.

Yeah it’s very unfortunate. Coach is a disaster with a roster like this. Willie has had many games where he should have been ejected due to the sh*t his team goes through. Instead he sits there looking clueless and saddened. No backbone at all.

At some point we got to quit blaming the refs and look at the bigger picture.

Last nights game was an abomination of coaching. Willie made zero adjustments. Ja Morant was left to run wild. No full court pressure applied to him at all, no double teams, no trap. Just stand back and let him operate as comfortably as he pleased. And we had a 2 for 1 opportunity to close out the game but wasted time to give Ja the last shot. I mean it was very very bad coaching.

im assuming dyson was supposed to trap ja when he cross into our spot and make him kick it out to an open player to take the last shot but dyson hesitated...so, i dont know if the last play was on coaching or the players...

It’s on coaching. You don’t even give him the option to hesitate. Just instantly trap. No waiting at all.

But Willie kept those 2 timeouts to bring home with him.

Officiating was terrible last night and even CJ noted it in his post game press conference. When a small guard can get to the lane and get calls for almost nothing (12 FTs) and a PF gets hammered repeatedly in the lane and gets no calls (4 FTs) it becomes obvious what the intent was. Had that game not been on TNT with the Ja hype, not sure it would have been called the same way. Having said that, Willie did nothing to stem Memphis runs. He really just does not seem to know what to do or when to do it.

There is a reason James Borrego was brought in.
Let's hope Willie's contracts just expires.

I can only describe it as we are playing like a perineal playoff choker (think Harden era Houston, Utah, etc.) but in the regular season. There isn’t even any pressure yet and we are blowing leads on the daily.

Some rumors “Mr. Pringles” could be lurking in the background. Friend of Griff still probably from Suns days.

We won by 36. The only loser here is you because you can't enjoy the game. All your posts are negative and pessimistic.

Doesn't explain why you show up in the middle of a great game to try and post/bump an "I told you so" post instead of something positive about the game being played. Makes it look like a troll post.

Just going by history at the time. Go thing we had halftime . We were gassed. Came back nice. Now all of a sudden Willie is a good coach . Interesting.

You got a DH with the MAVS next.

Who said anything about Willie being a good head coach? We play Nuggets next.

One of the main things I look for in a coach is when his players fall really short (or when he falls short), does he get a response and make the necessary adjustments? I want to say we are getting a response and that is a good sign. This roster is too talented to be blowing leads consistently and losing to bad teams consistently. But I can’t tell with Willie. For all I know a bad 4 game losing streak could be right around the corner and we are fighting for scarps again. It is up to him to keep the ship steady. We have to at the very least be top 4. As far as I’m concerned we easily have enough talent to be the top seed period.
