Yes timing is suspect. I didnt understand what John meant when he said when all of the players came back it would only mask what was wrong with the team as a whole. He seemed to say the team is comfortable losing. Also I think Not starting Markkanen Saturday and then play him during garbage time with the end of the bench was all John could take. I personally did not see Fred as a long term coach. I think he was brought in to run a college team in the NBA and they had hoped he would be Steve Kerr 2.0
