    I have a hard time seeing Nate canned mid-season. Too much respect between him and Paul.

    Who the fucks cares? Firing Nate is not going to help these guys from falling down while driving to the basket, passing the ball 10 feet over someone's head, getting stripped under the basket, or missing a lay up. Although I am sure Nate would love to be fired to get away from this shit.

    Care about progress. It's the start if rebuild.

    The Vulcans love Mr Sonic. It will take a lot for him to get fired, IMO.

    Unless he quits, he will be here until the end of the season.

    I think he's gonna get canned. Tonight's loss was the tipping point. But he'll probably finish out the road trip.

    I wonder if the coaching search this offseason will go like the GM search has.

    He'll finish the season, then that will be it, by mutual agreement.

    A new coach can change a lot. These players have been good on other teams.

    Really. Which assistant coach is going to take over and make progress with these players?

    i think he means progress is getting rid of the current coach. Step 1.

    Some of these players have been good under Nate too. Sure go ahead and don't re-sign him in the off season. But like with most teams when things go bad, the coach gets blamed and the players make excuses. I get that Nate won't be back next year and it's time to move in a different direction. But it laughable to think this is a coaching problem. Yet every day that seems to be the conversation.

    The season is over. Keep Batum and LMA and a couple young players and trade every other expiring player. They all gave up. Trade for as many draft picks as you can and don't take back any bad contracts. Otherwise keep them all and don't re-sign them.

    The team sure looks better without Roy..........

    I get that and I am saying that will not be progress. Better players will be progress. Without that I don't give a fuck who is the coach they will not be better.

    Bringing in a new coach when you can't even practice isn't gonna do much this year. Might as well wait tell the off season and get us a nice 9-12th pick.
