    I mean if this is honestly the offense we are gonna run why wouldn’t we trade for Harden, I’d rather watch 20 free throw makes in the 4th quarter than 10 missed iso 3s.

    A great offensive minded coach would be salivating over this group of offensive talent. The pieces are there. The game plan and creativity is not. Players like Stotts because he gives them free reign to dribble around doing iso and shooting whatever they like.

    We hated McMillans offense just as much. 4 in the corner and Roy playing iso. But watching his Indiana teams these days are the opposite of that.

    It’s really frustrating how they’re wasting CJ’s hot start. How many years have we moaned about him starting slow? Now he’s essentially carrying the team offensively.

    D'Antoni is sitting on Nash's bench as his assistant in BK. Prolly wants a break from headcoaching, but I'd make him an offer he couldn't refuse.

    Hell, what about bringing Vanterpool back?

    I think at this point a blockbuster trade for anyone is moot as long as Stotts is still at the helm after it happens.

    What? McMillan got fired after last season. His team shot the most midrange jumpers in the league.

    This year, with a new coach, they shoot the 4th lowest number of midrange jumpers in the league.

    1000% this. I am tired of this, no adjustments and teams can easily figure us out.

    Where is the coaching? Where is the accountability?
