    Hard to believe Stotts is getting paid millions of dollars this year.

    I have no idea what they do in practice. And I have no idea what he writes on that dry erase board during timeouts.

    No idea who else we can get to coach but it doesn't matter - addition by subtraction. Get rid of him.

    I think he's the Bob Ross of the NBA. I bet he draws trees on the dry erase board, and goes "Okay guys, now go out and make some happy little threes".

    It makes me so god damn angry just knowing that Stotts is going to respond with some snide know it all remark when he’s asked why Nurk played 1 minute the entire 4th q when he was out best player most of the night.

    Ah-ha! I got it! Now I know why Nurk got benched, he was the one who stopped the 17-0 run!

    I've been saying this for a couple of years now. It's about philosophy. They don't play defense, they don't run, they don't get easy baskets and they run no plays for anyone but Dame/CJ. Tough for other players to develop or get a rhythm....all they get is bail out passes when Dame/CJ are double-teamed. It is designed for everyone else to set screens and then get out of the way except for an occasional roll by Nurkic....when he is in the game.

    I mean, it's like the players don't have any freedom to react. When I see Russel, a guy who is not a great passer, isolated on Davis with under ten seconds; if I'm not guarding a great three point shooter, I am going to run over there and double him. And I am not even a basketball player.

    This feels like a mutiny in itself. Either Stotts knows he's getting canned and is playing a "fuck you" type of game. Or the players know what they have in him, and want him to get fired.

    This is NOT a team that is on the same page. At all.

    I guess their jacking threes did pay off, maybe we would've won if we did the same? We don't win this season when our assists are this low. We led, or broke even in pretty much every statistical category at half time. By the of the game we were behind, or broke even. Either something really funky went on in the locker room at halftime, or they players thought this one was in the bag, and took their foot off the pedal. I wish we would learn from this, always play with intensity, and never back off; but past experience tells me that this group of players will never learn that particular lesson.

    Bob Ross was bad ass. Stotts is just a crappy coach.

    This team is being 127 million dollars. I mean, the New York Jets get more bang for their buck.
