    Joe Freeman: Texted an assistant coach 15 minutes ago about McMillan's firing and his response was: "News to me."

    Is that a nice way to tell you to piss off? I mean Freeman is a bit lost here at best.

    This really sucks. Nate is a good coach. The players just ignored him. I doubt we can find anyone better

    Nate is not a great coach! His defense is a joke, he can't draw up a play, has awful substitutions and our offense has yet to be understood for the last 7 years. How is that a good coach? He's had a ton of different players with the same results, average at best to crappy! That's coaching!

    FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Long time coming and something that should have happened years ago.

    The team still has some fixing to do, but this really does steer the ship towards the right direction.
    Now to get a GM to man the rudder!

    Nate McMillan walks into a bar
    The bartender says, "hey I saw the news, what happened?
    Nate says, "well I am going to tell you the same thing I told the players, I just need you to make some shots"

    While I agree with this, the players had tuned him out and quit on him. He didn't deserve that as he's a good person and a good coach. But there are times when a team has to change directions. This was the time to do so.

    I am just relieved the death watch is over. With all the talk about going after Blake or Ridnour, I was convinced the team was going to drag this out for who knows how long!

    The fact that Nate is the second longest tenured coach in our history is just plain sad.

    I think the fact we have BY FAR more 1 and done seasons then anyone else in the league says a lot to the reason why we go through so many coach's.
