You'll often find it's hard to teach a brick to float.
No. Monty is not as crisp on his game rotation as I wish, but I've seen several mental errors all around the board as well as just a general talent/athleticism gap between us and the elite teams. It's why a move for Cousins, Jennings, and/or Josh Smith doesn't look so bad more than half the time. We'd kill to have an S-Jax or Ginobli as starters and those guys come off the Spurs bench normally.
Gotta have talent in this game to win. Even the most put together team to win a title in the last decade or so had talented players leading the charge. (Detroit)
eric gordon 2nd half stats: 0/3 with 2 turnovers
0-2 with 2 turnovers.

I was being sarcastic btw lol
I know we had differences and im past that bro.....but what u just said here is exactly what I wanted to write lol...couldnt of said it better
He has a terrible feel for in-game lineups. It seems like his line ups are almost always pre-determined. Sometimes you have to go with your best guys at crucial points in the game. Tonight, it was 8-9 mark in the 4th.
ah true my bad. pretty terrible nonetheless
lol at McNamara saying Gordon can't carry the whole load based on one game.

Just agree to disagree there, my man.
Great players are going to be great despite whatever locker room they get dressed in or the name on the front of the jersey.
We aren't breading a losing culture with losses like these. We are learning how not to win sure, but we aren't breading losers. We are young and inexperienced. We will get better and have the coaching to help the players to get there. That is something the Wizards never had.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Gordon's insistance on over dribbling...trying to shake people when its clear he's still not at that point where his speed or handle is 100%....in the second half thats what you saw. Led to costly turnovers. His jumper was falling in the first half don't know why some of these guys start coming out in the 2nd half and totally stope what they were doing offensively which was working. Only thing they needed to adjust was defense. Going to Lopez like 3-4 possessions to start the 2nd half was baffling. Dude is not offensively skilled enough to try and "get him gong" down low against an elite team like the Spurs.
Dude did disappear in the 2nd. Not saying its a regular thing, but some times it happens. So many times tonight I wondered why Gordon didn't shoot more, or why Anderson was on the bench. but guys disappear some times.Just move on.
Prisoners of the moment, man...
Tonight was a bad game all around, but as a whole we've still won 7 of the last 10 and have beaten some decent teams, including the Spurs.
Spurs made the adjustment and collapsed everytime Gordon drove the ball. Considering Aminu was the other wing on the floor its great strategy and ill be surprised if other teams dont use it.

I think the lakers this year are prime example that you need need the right players more than the best players, pau and dwight both playing like crap and the team isn't winning with 2-4 hall of famers. Great players are not always going to be great, there is more that goes into it
Ill be dam monty needs to atleast change up his staff then cause he needs help point blank period
I understand the mindset. However Cleveland had a losing culture until LeBron got there we had a losing culture until CP3 got here. OKC was losing in Seattle and at first in OKC until Westbrook, Ibaka, and Harden got there. The talent transcend cultures.
That's some grade A crap you're spewing out of your mouth. Sacramento and Cleveland both has a lot of talent and is still struggling heavily. The Lakers are one of the most loaded team in the league with some of the best players in the league and yet they are losers.

Worry not. I caught it. Didn't really acknowledge it, but I certainly did. Hehe.
He's in favor of moving Gordon. Gordon's once great attribute was how explosive he was. I hope he hasn't totally lost it. Otherwise, I might start to lean to that side of things as well.

We are young and will lose games but it does not take a basketball genius to figure out the head coach is making so very questionable decisions and it is glaring when it comes to the 4th quarter which is where 90% of NBA games are decided. Tonight the Spurs were without Timmy and Leonard not to mention their head coach who is probably one of the best of all time yet we are out coached. I believe we had enough talent to win tonight but when you see retarded decisions like putting X in the game in the 4th quarter with the game nearly tied you got to wonder what the hell is going on in Monty's brain? When you have GV guarding Parker while our best defender is off on the base line watching Parker take over the game single handily you have to look at your Head coach and question if he knows what he is doing. Can you imagine this type of coaching if this was a playoff game?

Not really. We at least made the playoffs with Baron Davis.
Lakers are a strange case. New coach with a completely different system during the season, injuries, a lack of depth, and an old team. Clearly chemistry matters but bad chemistry and losing culture isn't the same. If anything what franchise has a better culture of winning than the Lakers?

Got promptly owned by Dwyane Wade's Heat, but we made it.
