    ....I now agree...it's time for a new head coach.

    There, I said it. :sigh:

    This team needs a change of some kind. Coach would be the first thing to look at, its that bad.

    But really, We got like 2 points combined from our supposed top 2 players in the 2nd half. We've been awful in the 2nd half of games. Absolutely awful. Roy is not right, won't be anytime soon and people need to wake up and realize that Aldridge just isn't as good as we wish he was.

    Now we have our promising young SF that we have all been salivating about struggling and rotting away on the bench. Things really aren't looking good in Rip City and I don't think Pryzbilla is going to be of that much help.

    Moves have to be made. Not just to save this season either. I'm the farthest person from the gloom and doom type too...

    No kidding. It's taking all I've got to keep from canceling my season tix. I should call my rep and demand a 25% refund since the team doesn't play the 4th quarter anymore.

    :sigh:

    You should do that. I'm curious what their reaction would be.

    Honestly I think the Roy situation is an even bigger clusterfuck. Maybe it's just me but the team's effort since Roy returned has been abysmal.

    Given the complete devastation of health and potential it would be a good time to get a new coach. I feel bad for Nate, because I am sure nobody is more down over this teams change in trajectory than Nate. Maybe Paul, and as a result I think there will be a change. The magic number in my mind is a losing record by the new year. If we are below .500 by the end of the year I think Nate will be gone. KP for the next coach?

    Never mind. I just sent the e-mail to Brooke. I just can't afford to spend all my money to be professionally depressed. :sigh:

    As if you can cancel season tickets. It's similar to giving out a bad contract, you've just gotta eat it and hope for better production.

    I'm hoping she can turn it into a quarter season package. I'll admit I have no clue, but if there's a hardship clause I can use that; I've dropped to half-time at work and this fucker's eating all my cash anyway.

    ...maybe I can haggle so I don't have to pay for the tickets that have Oden, Pendegraph, Bayless or Williams on them. :ghoti:

    I would try to be nice as possible... and if that doesn't work, I'd start throwing out accusations about Roy and Oden.

    My letter was definitely polite and personable. She's a nice lady, after all; she called this afternoon and we talked. But yeah, if there's no way out, then there's no way out. But she'll at least know that I'm done emotionally.

    Nate isn't going anywhere soon. Hopefully he just won't re-up after the season.

    On a side note, this is fun for me to watch. It's like some of you got Lasik and can finally see clearly

    Smugness and Schadenfreude are a great combination... if you want to act like a total dick.

    I'm not having any fun, but as each loss accumulates I am more hopeful that changes will be made.

    I am not taking pleasure in others misfortunes.....(yes, I looked it up). I am taking pleasure that some of the strongest Nate supporters are seeing him in the same way I have seen him for many years.

    As for the smugness.....You betcha. No one on this board has taken more shit than I have over Nate.

    There's so much uncertainty with the new CBA that not only will making trades be tough but firing Nate would seem to be pretty pointless as well. It's not like they can hire a new coach during the lockout(I would assume).

    And no, I don't want to watch Bickerwhatshisname on the sidelines.

    Ya, I don't like losing, so the games aren't fun for me to watch. The forum is what's fun for me to watch.
