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..

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
