We aren’t well coached.  Sorry, I don’t see it folks

This same team we are facing went on a playoff run with an interim coach. Can't have your team looking like this in back to back play in games and not be on the hot seat. That being said we play truly awful defense.

Not sure what Plumlee really adds right now.  We can still win this game but not maximizing any of our players strengths.  

It bums me out knowing Thor and Kai have the athletic ability to really add to the defense, Plumlee is too slow to be in this game rn

The coach needs to have some sort of half court offense or game plan in place that you can fall back on when shots aren't falling and the run and gun offense isn't working. Should have offensive sets in place to create easy shots so guys can see the ball go through the basket and build confidence.

We have none of that.

Does Borrego teach defense? Serious question. Has the team gotten better at all defensively since he's been here? 

The team plays the same style defense they have since Clifford was coach which is packing the paint and leaving shooters open which is 80s ball. Teams would rather take open 3s than post up or take layups.

Will be Down by 20+ going into the 4th. JB should be fired. And I don’t wanna hear these players make a single excuse. Trae Young is playing like trash. Box out and play defense. These are effort plays. Without a competent big and some real NBA coaching, this team will be right back in a play in game next year getting beat by 20+.

    • Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.
    • Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying 
    • I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
