    Can Cory Jez coach?
    I think he would create a game plan to take advantage of the opponents weaknesses and try to mitigate their strengths.

    I honestly think that Shae could start and it wouldn't hurt our defense. I don't know what he would do with more offensive opportunities but he's definitely a defensive upgrade over Ant at SG.

    I think he's an easy scapegoat, and I don't think it's that accurate. He's part of the problem, but there are a lot of problems. Some of the stuff Stotts did still lingers as a problem on this team. Many of the roster composition errors by Olshey still haunt this team.

    People that think just changing the coach is like waving a magic wand and this team is going to put it all together, I believe, are going to really get their eyes opened when/if that happens.

    Can’t really blame it on the bench because they suck too. But our starters go through long scoring droughts and don’t know how to play off each other

    That's most likely true.
    Did Steve Kerr suddenly become a worse coach? Is he the reason they're currently .500?

    Still, it's frustrating to watch a team play worse than I think they are capable of.

    We saw one lob to Sharpe.
    I said that would be the last one.
    It's sad.

    This fucking shit right here. SMH. This franchise needs to get Dame some help but Dame just needs to do Dame. He has said it very clearly so even people who have a hard time understanding things should know... he wants to be here. So bag on the team all you want but please just cut it out with this played out bullshit take.

    Oh and just preemptively, please don't start with feast or famine the next time Dame misses a few shots, don't fucking say that he's washed the next time he has bad game. You've got to know the takes of yours that you spam that are just complete fucking trash, so just stop.

    Want to know why we lost?

    4 rebounds from our starting power forward
    6 points from our starting center
    4 points from our starting small forward

    Did somebody tell these guys to start tanking? If so, Lillard didn’t get the memo, I guess.

    I just don’t think the return for what we have would be anything great

    They also have no impetus to work for easier shots. And don't seem to know the tendencies of the other team.

    Right at his career average.
    Our starting SF, is a bench SG in disguise.
    ...and Jokic is Nurk's DADDY.

    SGA had 28 points in their last game.
    Explain why you think their goal is to lose as much as possible.
