    Maybe we can hypnotize Meyers into seeing NOLO jerseys every game, or tape a picture of Boogie in his locker?

    ....the fuck am I reading here? Nurk has been an absolute beast for about the past month. In fact, he's having the best season of his career right now, and it's not even close. Tonight's loss was NOT on him. Not even close.

    He hasn't even come close to what he did for us after the trade last year. He looks a lot like the player who was sent to the Denver bench. Tonight's loss isn't on him. It is on every player. I'm just not happy with Nurk's performance on the season.

    Then that's your problem. I can count numerous games where he's scored 25, 28, 29, 28, 17, 19.....I sure as fuck wish that POS Meyers would put up those numbers.

    AND Nurk plays Defense.

    What more do you fucking want?

    This is Stotts's problem, not Nurks. Stotts blew that 2nd quarter like a Chilean prostitute.

    Fuck you, Stotts. Where was YOUR focus in the 2nd Quarter when Cousins and Co. were bending us over and not using lube?

    I might consider it a minute just to get rid of Turner but Jordan is a horrible fit for this team. Great D of course but his type of O (lobs) aren't our game and he is limited at everything else. Can't keep him in at the end of games due to his bad free throw shooting and etc.

    Then change the fucking way our offense runs, it's shit now, at least with DJ you can throw it up and get some easy buckets... instead of making everything harder on ourselves

    Stotts has no clue. His analysis with Wheels consisted of 'well, we got off to a nice start, and then it kinda got away from us.' Sweet Jesus.

    He's always been like that. I've never been overly impressed with Stotts.

    He didn't seem that invisible. I saw him bricking shots left and right. Kind of wish he'd been less visible. 15-42 the last two games while missing WIDE OPEN teammates left and right.

    Yep. All that talent.... other teams don't stand a chance.

    We are the last team that should feel this way.

    Yep, time for him to go. Can't believe I supported him this off-season.

    His offense and rebounding have been disappointing, but he’s like 90% of the reason that we have good defense.

    He certainly does make their defense better but even at that, it's still not that great IMO. Giving up 125 to the Nets without Russell and 123 to the Pels without Davis is not exactly anything to write home about.
