This team is 2-19 since the start of last season in games decided by 4 points or less. Getting blown out is one thing but continuously losing close games falls on coaching. Hell, as much as I dislike Batum he has been used wrong his entire time here imo.

I haven't been a Clifford fan for some time now mainly due to his stubbornness and terrible rotations but seeing this stat after the loss tonight was just the cherry on top.

Hell, I'm not so sure we aren't a mid tier playoff team with the current roster and better coaching.  Which at least is something.  Of course everyone wants a ring, but until Lebron retires, and some of the Warriors go other places we weren't going to sniff one anyway.

Kemba is 0-15 his last 15 attempts 2 minutes or less in the 4th on go ahead baskets.  Why?  He barrels in to 3 defenders that are a foot taller than him expecting to get a LeBron call then chucks it wildly at the basket.  Is that kemba or is that the play we continue to call despite the fact it never fuging works.  Last two minute offense, everyone else stand around and watch kemba try and hit some bullshit.  I think that's coaching.

God I hate Clifford... You blame the players when Clifford draws up the same Kemba and Dwight pick and roll 4x.. Not one thought was made to maybe take advantage of a bigger MKG posting up a smaller Ellington ... Or poo put Lamb in and move Batum to SF ..  This fuging clown doesn't have a inventive bone in his body..

Confirmed that the iso kemba drive into 7 footers is Cliffords go to play at end of games, that's why everyone else stands around and that's why he continues to do it. Also batum is a pussy with the ball again.  Surprise surprise 

Ran it 4x at the end of the game..smh

Even after a TO...smh

Even when it was clear Spolstra put Winslow on Kemba to stop that exact play...smh

He is a horrible fuging coach..

Stephanie confirmed it on the sideline.  So so so fuging stupid. Kemba is under 6ft tall.  Not a 6'6 small forward.

The fact Clifford hasn't started to use Lamb in crucial situations late game over Batum blows my mind. Batum is guaranteed to turn the ball over when the pressure is on. On offense in the 4th he just stands around and if he decides to actually shoot it is the worst contested fade away you will ever see.

Batum is the worst contract in the NBA. Just accept it and stop giving him major minutes. have him run the second unit since our back up PG situation is so bad. This way he is never in any pressure situations and his dumb ass play doesn't hurt us when the game is on the line.

Yeah,  he threw a pass straight to the defender and I think he was the one that got a rebound stripped away from him.  Two turnovers for him in the last 2 minutes.  Sad thing is I think that's below his average.  Softer than Charmin, especially in crunch time.

Isn't it wild that we went from having the worst contract in the NBA (Plumlee) and flipping it into Dwight.. but little did we know that we ALSO had the 2nd Worst contract was hiding in plain sight on our roster (Batum).. we knew we overpaid for Batum - but never did we think it would get this bad..

Cho needs to Go!! He needs to be the first man to walk the plank.. followed by his staff - followed by Cliff and the coaching staff..

THEN and only Then, we can start to rebuild..

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
