    You're right! You are explaining something like a five year old. I agree.

    This is my last response on this conversation. You made a number of statements that were blatantly simplistic and wrong and you got called on it. Live with it.

    Everybody was a Warrior fan back in the days. How couldn't one be?

    Fire his ass now. Win or loss him forcing a three guard lineup with no one over 6'4 is unacceptable. How much of a rock do you have to be under to not see the rest of the NBA, how the small forwards are used and how important length and athleticism and size is in this position?

    Olshey needs to put more value into his decisions. He has brought in many pieces I think can work, IF used correctly. Unfortunately we have a hamburger flipper as our head coach......

    At this point id give the job to @BonesJones. That sounds like a slight, but its not. I seriously think Bones could get more from this team if he held firm on what he wants to see happen and forces accountability.

    I saw we trade Stotts for Bones And Hoopshock and see what we got. cant be any worse than some of the shit i've seen Stotts do lately.


    Or better yet, lets use a Stott's analogy.

    If Bones cant improve our defense, well hell. We were 29th with Bones and 29th without him. So it cant make us much worse right?




    MAKE THE CHANGE OLSHEY, OR BE ON THE FIRING LINE YOURSELF!!!!!!

    We are 29th on D with RoCo starting. If they started me instead of him, we would be AT WORST 30th, so i'm basically as good as RoCo on defense

    I don't care how long Stotts is coach here. He will never live that shit down.
    What a terrible response to a question.

    This team needs a new coach and GM badly. They have been here far too long past their mistakes (Neil: Summer 2016 & Stotts: Pelicans sweep).

    What a disaster that year was.
    But somehow, we keep getting re-runs.

    Maybe you guys should start putting together a legitimate list of candidates. I agree this will be his last year, but getting an average coach will not make a difference. And no Spoelstra is not leaving Miami for Portland.

    pay me 8 million/year like Olshey and I will. Hell, I'll do it for 4 million. But I ain't doing it for free

    Always tough to know about first-time coaches. No one has a clue how good they will be.

    Stotts not going anywhere. This team not making playoffs. If we do its sweep 1st round exit. Stotts may not comeback next year but if he is not fired nothing changes

    I'd add to that list of candidates:
    - Charles Lee from the Bucks
    - Juwan Howard from UMichigan
    - Jay Wright from Nova

    If the bucks don’t make it to the finals or even past the second round, I can see them firing Budenholzer. Him, Hammon, Udoka, Chauncey billup, Kenny Atkinson, Dan Craig, or Chris quinn are all candidates I take a serious look at.
