    Then why aren’t we 0-53?

    Idiotic coaching decision to keep starters in this long when there was 0 momentum.

    And he had the audacity to blame the starters getting tired for the loss in chicago.

    Needs 2 assists and 4 turnovers for that rare quadruple-double.

    Also maybe he can foul out. Total stat stuffer tonight in fewer than 27 minutes :)

    Me either... too lazy, but I assume it's bad league wide. Obviously not 0%

    Billups needs to go. I'm not at all convinced that even with the right team, he'd win.

    This whole thing seems to be in disarray to me. I wish we woulda landed Danny Ainge. I don’t know what magic trade is gonna make us a contender, kinda hard when saving money is a priority by management. I really want new ownership, I care about that way more than the Vanderbilt blockbuster that might happen.

    Results just arent there.

    Honestly... Cronin can go with him.

    Maybe. But this roster is so flawed that I’m not sure any coach could make them a contender.

    I'm honestly keeping my expectations in the cellar until we change ownership.

    Did people really expect Cronin to clear all those bad contracts and Billups have a roster that could win 45+ games?

    Yeah I fail to see Cronin’s vision with those trades last season. Then in the offseason we were all so sure that more changes would be made because of how imbalanced the roster was.

    So what does he do? Goes out and overpays for another guard who is just not that good (GP2).

    You don’t roll over and die with a quarter left at home. It’s anti-competitive. We’re not playing tomorrow. I’m glad we went for it.

    I predicted 39 wins.

    Which is exactly what we're on pace to do. So why clear house?
