Hypothetically speaking, would you want Allen Crabbe back (considering his contract)?

    didnt see the game but ive noticed noah hasnt been doing fuck all on the stat sheet. i understand nurk plays better with him out there, but are we really sacrificing PF to have a C? or is this the same bs stotts did before where he gets the start, then gets pulled?

    It's difficult to do "fuck all" when you only play 16 minutes. 5 boards and 1-2 shooting isn't great, but he wasn't the issue tonight ... at all.

    Vonleh is fine. It's stotts not understanding basic basketball.

    Yeah...Noah was NOT the problem tonight. Not even close. If anything, he should be praised for playing with confidence since he's returned. I do like what he brings to the court, and if that means that all he does is make Nurk's life easier, then so be it.

    I just can’t get over this... Nurkic has 21 points in 25 min and Stotts doesn’t play him in the 4th because he wants to match up with them instead of making them matchup with us... this is the freaking Nets not the Warriors... why would you let them dictate the game... Stotts needs to be fired tomorrow... Easyest part of season and we are 6-6 losing home games to bottom feeders like Nets

    I think he (Stotts) might be losing the team, or at least the important players.

    Finally! Other people are seeing it.
    This uninspired, predictable & terrible schemes has been going on for a long time now.
    It would have been a lot more evident, if not for the sheer skill of Dame and CJ.

    It's terrible to watch. Just not good basketball. Also excruciatingly frustrating; a MF'ing uphill battle every game, even against cellar dwellers.

    Maybe Nurkic said something to get himself benched.

    Vonleh is criminally underrated on defense. The only player on our team who has an argument over him is Aminu. Last year after we got Nurk, our D rtg with Nurk and no Vonleh was still bad. Our D rtg with both on the floor was elite. He positions well, has quick feet, good strength, long arms, etc. His one on one defense is excellent. He can guard the perimeter or the interior. Unfortunately, he is also the definition of mediocre garbage man on offense so far. He's an excellent rebounder though.

    Stotts lost me by continuing to give Pat playing time. The guy is a worse AC on offense and gets caught ball watching all of the time on defense. If he was a more aggressive scorer, I could see it, but Napier is better than him at everything and should be taking almost all of his minutes. He also can do something that neither Cj or Evan is managing: run an offense. Napier got us back into the game, and was then pulled.
    Also. Not putting in Nurk was one of the most perplexing things I've ever seen. This isn't the NCAA. Talent wins games in the NBA. You put your best players out there and count on them to make plays. Unless Nurk was injured, I cannot fathom this line of thinking.

    If the other team goes on a 17 point run it's on the coach. You have to make adjustments long before it gets to 17-0, Stotts needs to improve in substituting, in making the right changes and adjustments

    He will be fired. I think they do it in the offseason tho.

    It’s pretty obvious Stotts wont last but it’s important the timing is right.

    disappointing season
