    I feel sick. We need a total rebuild from ownership to gm to coach asap.

    That one stung just a bit because of that fantastic second quarter but these constant swings are the only thing consistent about this team. We need a roster that makes sense. Let's just hope Joe can make some moves that at least allow the mediocre talent on this team to be cohesive.

    Grant is a keeper...that I know. I'd give him Ant's contract tomorrow.

    Ahead by 25 at the half and still lost? And the Lakers didn’t even have Anthony Davis?

    I say we trade the entire roster by the deadline. Every single player. Has that ever been done? Who cares. I don’t see how we could get a worse team in return.

    Remember he got the job without Jody even interviewing other candidates. Rotten ownership.

    I’m starting to think the goal of his was to suck. The trades he made certainly seems to suggest it

    Saying this for years
    Nurk does that 50% of the time. But Chauncey hasn't figured out how to get even a little bit more out of him nor how to make our players aware of what got them the big lead they proceeded to blow.

    The players seem to like Chauncey, so Chauncey can be the sacrifice for their poor performance. Bring in someone they don't like who holds them accountable.

    Would have liked to see more of Nas in this game and less Sharpe

    Our starting lineup sucks. They have a positive 1.9 net rating. Seems good right? Until you look at the 5 man lineups for just about every winning team in the NBA is like > +8 net eating. Most are above 10. Those teams can afford to have bad benches because their starters can build consistent leads.

    We aren't trying to tank and are now at #7 in the Draft Lottery. Take out that hot start in the first 3 weeks, and we would be right in Wemby territory.

    Ant with 0 rebounds and more turnovers then assists. Not good for your backup PG. He scored good, but man the rest of the box score doesn't look good.
