    In interviews before he was fired, players said they loved playing for Helfrich as well. I don't really care what they say either way....what is their performance like? For the first time in a long time, I saw an almost complete lack of effort against a team missing 40% of it's starting lineup.

    6 years for a coach on 1 team is a loooooong time in the nba world. I’ve said this before but if your not winning championships or even making it to the nba finals no coach ever I mean EVER stays past 6 years on one team.

    Stotts is running out of time FAST. I think he’s def reaching his expiration date and players are starting to get tired of his voice.

    There’s no reason we should be struggling with this easy ass schedule we have right now

    That stat is really weird. What is our record in games where we move on? lol. Because the Rockets went on to the WCF the year after we beat them.

    I mean, I get looking at the negative. But we've had some positive in the last 5 years... can we glean anything off of those, too? That's so fox news of you.

    Sure there were positives. I was just stating a fact in how we ended the seasons. You can include other playoff series in which we won, regular season, pre-season if you want. I was just looking at how we ended each year in terms of if we were in the least bit competitive.

    If I look over 5 years, there is good and bad but overall, a lot of mediocrity. For me, that is just not good enough. I'm always trying to strive for better or more. Doesn't mean we always get it but to be so average when looking at 5 years or below average in the last 10-15 years, is disappointing when it is year after year.
