9 points in the 3rd quarter
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
I blame Gentry for this...
Liggins and Asik should not be in the game at the same time.
Also Moore should never try throwing bullet passes to Asik.
Send the 'cans to the G league
Gentry watched the team give away an 11 point lead and we haven’t been able to rebound. He is an assistant coach not an head coach. He doesn’t really care . He shows no sense of urgency and neither does his team . Why should he care .. he’s been fired by just every other NBA team in the league . He’s probably like whatever
This is really depressing...like the true definition of depression. I gotta stop watching this. Even Joel and Davids banter can't bring a smile to my face.
This team is putrid
Disbelief doesn't excuse completely abdicating responsibility for everything, refusing to take action, and spending more time staring into your palm than watching the actual game. If you're in disbelief, call the timeout or yell the plays yourself. Don't just sit there dribbling down your chin.
Okay so given that that's all we ever get, what are we supposed to judge him on?
We can't judge him on the product on court, cause that's the players not the coach.
Can't judge him on sideline activity cause we only see small segments.
Can't judge him on lack of defense cause that's the players and also Erman.
We supposed to judge him on his post game interviews or something? Cause those suck too.
Jrue 20 feet off Harrison like he's guarding Dwight
I'll never understand how Moore can't make FTs
Finally -- this game would not be close if guys were just hitting open jumpers.
Something so strange about seeing a guard catch a defensive rebound and immediately toss the ball to the center in a panic.
RIP FlyGirl
My point is it's a false narrative. If you go to the actual game you will see he is up and yelling a lot.
And I just criticized him on the rotation he was using. You could also judge him on the offensive scheme and production, his use of timeouts, etc.
I'm sorry. As bad as people want to blame Gentry for stuff the defense isn't on him.

THAT'S NOT GENTRY.
We can have the discussion that Gentry is bad. Heck, I've already said I'm MORE than fine with Gentry being fired this summer. But stupidly blaming him for stuff that isn't his fault is still wrong.
I know you criticised Gentry on a rotation. I had to blink twice and refresh to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
And yeah, I've been judging him on his awful rotations and awful use of timeouts throughout the season. I'm not some mindless Gentry hater, you can find multiple occurrences of me complimenting some of his out of timeout plays and choices of timeouts throughout the season if you wanted to search (not that I expect you to, by the way, it's kinda boring and a waste of time).
It's just that this alternative narrative that you often move to, which is that it's very rarely Gentry's fault and there's just tons of stuff we never see or don't understand and actually he's not responsible for half of the stuff that happens despite it literally being his job description to be in charge of those things.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle: not as damning as I make out, not as forgiving as you often do. But the fact is when you lose an 11 point lead due to horrible rotations and a staunch refusal to call timeouts, you have to turn to the coach and say man, what are you smoking?
FT shooting...
