    I think Nurk clearly helps the flow of the offense and a little bit protecting the rim. Neither of the bigs solve the issue that nobody in our starting lineup can stay in front of their man and there is no scheme that can overcome that.

    Stotts apologists hypocrisy at it’s apex right. Coaches have little effect on games but why get rid of Stotts unless you can get a top coach...

    He's one of the top coaches in the NBA.

    Rio played quality minutes. He's still somewhat snakebit at times. I really feel for him, cause you can see the desire. His baskets were key. We needed every point.

    That's correct. I believe Pargo and Tibbetts both have d-league coaching experience.

    Hey Stotts doesn't commit the foul before the pass is inbounded. He's doing the best with the hand he's dealt right now.

    Yeah, but it doesn't fit the narrative for those that complain about all things McCollum. NBA keeps getting weaker and weaker with shit calls like that. Call the foul. Give them the ball out of bounds or the free throw line and keep playing.

    That's why we fired Adleman, PJ, Dunleavy, Cheeks, McMillian... each one of those guys were holding us back from winning it all and if only we got rid of them we'd make it to the promise land.

    If you'd have told me before the bubble that we'd be 4-2 after six games with this schedule I'd of taken it. The two losses were close too.

    4-2, 0.5 games back of Memphis, NOP's elminated... I would have taken it and ran. I thought for sure we would only have 8 games heading into this bubble. I'm thrilled we might some bonus basketball!

    Not pretty but we pulled it out. Nurk's screens are just huge on offense.

    That's an odd list. Firing Adelman and Dunleavy made the team worse, and firing Cheeks made it better. Even if you consider the situations with Nate and PJ more ambiguous, that's 3 out of 5 examples that indicate that coaches DO make a difference!

    I am happy for any win. Trolls just complain. Hmmm? Wonder which category you fit in?

    We are struggling to beat, as well as losing, to teams without their best players.

    we are gonna get run out of the gym in the playoffs.......assuming we get there
