    Its not really ideal. You want to instill some winning culture, so losing like this with key players is not what you want. But at the same time, we can't afford to win games for the sake of our pride. We need a transcendent player. The odds are much higher if you suck. We have too much talent to be this bad, but we don't have that guy. It sucks that we may take ourselves out of the running at some point.

    When all else fails embrace the tank. But we could screw that up too. Our GM sure is in no rush to make trades or change. They just let Willie out there to fry the team. Sacramento said that not happening here. Fired coach after a practice.

    If the GM is fine with it, the Coach and Owner possibly know this season is a wash and to look next year. Not else sure what could be done. Could rage on wanting to remove Willie Green as the coach but if only the fans having issues with him and Management doesn't. He could just stick around for the future.

    Not one damn move Grif has made that could have salvaged the season when this started going downhill. At least attempt to save the season? Too late now. Embrace the tank. Front office obviously has embraced the tank.

    The coach should not get another look. I'll be fair to Willie in the sense that I think the players have given up on the season due to the circumstances. But he failed his audition and needs to be the first to go. The record is inexcusably poor and it's not worth taking the chance on him.

    OKC shut Shai down in multiple seasons in order to tank...worked out pretty well for them.

    It would be much better to fire WG now so we can get a look at Borrego as not to make the same mistake we did with Finch

    I'd rather the higher lottery %.

    You'd have to convince the fans to stick with a sucky team for a bit. I think it's the right thing to do, but it's whether our GM and owner stand for it or not. I can see us going out to win a bunch of pointless games and grinding out results when it doesn't matter. I hope we just embrace where we are at this point and look to next season when we hopefully get our franchise guy that can elevate us.

    Yes. Though I don’t think Shai was on the “Could be traded list?” I don’t recall Shai being injury prone either.

    Clippers teased us. That was close. Good win for the tank. Hey an L is an L .

    Pels fell to the Heat, onto the next game.

    The future...

    Jose will be back tonight. We might actually win these next 2.

    Take what you can get this year. All we can hope for is for next is a couple of suckers to overpay for Zion, BI, CJ and Murray, and then start the rebuild.

    Updated the record. Yay

  22. #72
    We won, always exciting.

  23. #73
    Jose is a difference maker. CJ having a career night didn't hurt.

    The back to back win.

    Did someone order a 10th place, win the first play in game but lose the 2nd game in a close fashion pyrrhic victory season? Because that's what we're all eating this year, lads.
