    Guilty as charged.

    I was the idiot saying I didn't think whoever the new coach was would have way more success than the previous one. Apparently I was wrong and 19-26 is success and years like 52-29 were not.

    What was the record when the entire starting lineup played? Remind me, I must've missed that .700 winning percentage out of the gates we had. Or were we 10-10 when everyone was healthy, playing a lot of teams missing key players before our guys started dropping? Half of those 10 wins came with an opponent missing a significant contributor, despite all our starters being available.

    You think if Dame came back, we'd light the NBA on fire to finish out the season?

    it’s funny you were one of the ones saying the GM was the problem but now I guess it’s the coach? Almost like there’s no consistency to your arguments besides “I suck Terrances tit.”

    "Not to be a broken record, but there is no point in any world today where Nurkic is going to be able to guard Tatum."

    - Brian Scalabrine , 26.8 seconds left in the game.

    Not enough time. But also Olshey was the only problem?

    Just rehearsing talking points...

    Olshey accrued talent. No question. Far from perfect on the fit. But the team should have always performed better than it was.

    There's a reason why Ant and Nassir are blossoming almost immediately after playing under a new coach. Nurk too.

    "Unreal. UN-real." - Scalabrine

    "Boston goes the last 7 minutes and 19 seconds without a field goal." - Mike Gorman

    "This is just shocking." - Scalabrine

    at the conclusion of the game.

    How many seasons do you have to go back to find where Stotts had to deal with Dame being injured from the jump and having season-ending surgery AND CJ missing extended time due to injury?

    I’ll wait…

    We got young players, that can play. If they are good enough to win games, why would they tank to draft Fultz or Jim Morrison? Even drafting Oden can obviously go south.
    Nurk is fuckin rebounding machine. If he is happy, he besting. Simple.
    I really think the players that "were not buying new coach system" were ISO heroes.
    Just make this trade, wait for Dame and roll.
    Fuck tanking.

    The bigger problem is you will likely never again have the Dame we’ve had for the past 5 years. Betting on a team with a declining Dame vs a team with a prime Dame puts you at a huge disadvantage.

    They won that game despite Chauncey. A bunch of bad decisions.

    nope. Udoka even mentioned how they switched up coverages against Tatum/Brown throughout the game and forced other players to beat them. Whose decision do you think that was?
