    How many more games do we have to go until someone realizes this team is broken? The coaching is broken, the player personnel is broken. Something needs to change and it needs to be done pretty much now.

    I wanted us to draft him back in the day. Never turned into the star I thought he could be. But a solid, solid player

    I already know what the postgame is going to be:

    "We played good defense for 3 quarters"

    "Zach LaVine hit a tough shot"

    "We missed a bunch of open looks we were happy with" <--- I am 100% certain they are going to talk about, citing all the open 3s they missed in the 4th. Ignoring all the garbage looks that went in early.

    Stotts does need to get let go. But Kendrick Perkins is a dipshit. Any time I hear him talk hoops I’m reminded how stupid he is

    That's why it would be absolutely useless. Because Tibbetts is just as clueless as Terry.

    Since the Stotts era began opposing teams have been hitting 3’s at a much higher clip against us than their averages

    If Stotts goes I bet there’s a Melo meltdown when he doesn’t play.

    The way I see it is that Stotts sees that Jones is not contributing enough on offense so he puts in Melo rather than changing the offense so Jones can contribute more.

    I’d offer Hou whatever they want minus Dame right now. We are average at best. Let’s sack up for once and swing for the fences instead of bunting to move the runner over. Oh yeah and fuck Terry Stotts.
