    Melo can’t rebound so he fouls. Hurd they are not “going at it” Melo is getting owned.

    Is it too much to ask for 2 solid offensive forwards?

    Aminu and Harkless were more productive than DJJ and Covington.

    How about trying to draw fouls on Capela? Try to get him out of the game?

    Is that too much creativity for our dumbass coach?

    It's tough to win games when you only play one side of the ball.

    Until Olshey and Stotts are gone, there is no hope for this franchise.

    Are we down 20 yet?

    We’re not losing because we’re missing Nurk, Collins, whoever. We’re losing because our coach sucks at coaching. Why was Melo out there so long.. again?!?

    Covington, DJJ, Trent, and Hood are 2-16. Lots of clean looks. This is becoming a trend. They should be near 50% with the looks they're getting.

    Melo -14 (11 minutes)
    Trent -17 (8 minutes)
    Hood -14 (7 minutes)
    CJ -10....and getting blown by at will.

    The one time Giles gets the ball at the high post, instant assist. Of course, that only happened by accident off a loose ball and certainly not by design. Stotts is beyond clueless. The guy has elite passing skills but the Walnut refuses to put him in a place to use them.

    The Inside the NBA crew said it best on Thursday. Either the coach isn’t demanding and holding players accountable for not playing defense or the players are not putting in the effort. That’s it.

    These interview features running over game action is infuriating.
