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..

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
