    I was on the fence last year but since we got TORE up in the playoffs we have gotten worse...nate stinks....why he no run me no not but has small mind abut wunning...me tinks dat he deevolve....pay une hiz guiz!

    Fire him now.....push the tempo....this all started when nate and roE became butt bodies....for this team to progress we need to break those two up and if roy cant take it then trade him for CP3. Then watch the team shine....

    Your high, and I have already addressed this in a separate thread. Its flat out amazing how much better your +/- is when you are playing the bulk of your time with the 2 studs on the team.

    I am not high at all - look at yesterday's numbers.

    Joel +6
    Rudy +2
    Miller -13

    How can Miller look so bad when he plays with the "scrubs" when the scrubs post a + and he posts a -?

    Let's look at the studs and Blake that is supposedly benefiting from playing next to them:

    Blake +2
    Roy -2
    LMA - 9

    So.. how come that the studs are in a minus but Blake is a + and at the same time, the duds are at a plus but Miller is at a minus?

    The answer is clear - the Studs did not play well when they played next to Miller.

    And that was exactly what I observed when watching the game yesterday.

    Roy and LMA need spacing to operate where they are succesful. This spacing is not there when Miller is playing.

    That's your problem, right there.

    i agree that he would be an improvement as coach though i can see just as many if not more complaints about his offense coming if he were hired.

    I think a lot of us, at least I know I myself, would be fine with a predictable and boring offense with a great defense with non-mindboggling schemes; rather than a predictable and boring offense with a defense that insists on putting 7'0 280 pound guys on 6'1 lightning quick guards.

    Joel started the second half with Brandon and Aldridge. Rudy's numbers of +2 is marginal. That is one basket from break even.
