Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Especally since Claxton got possessiion of the ball twice and we could have easily fouled him.

We should have hacked him for the entire quarter.

JBB just will never do the things that a great coach does.

Im not saying hes the worst coach of all time. He has a few strengths.

None of them translate to winning playoff basketball besides his guys playing hard for him.

No ATO plays. Bad ATO defense, maybe even worse than the offense.

No "tricks" up the sleeve. Nothing fancy, nothing that can really turn the tide of a game fully 100%.

Just disappointing. Cant blame him 100% of course. Nobody can shoulder 100% of any blame. Ultimately the players didnt get it done... But he coached a bad game and should be called out for it.

QFT. Quality comment.
 
Does Altman have the balls to fire Bickerstaff after finally having a winning record without LeBron? I wish he did. A good coach and they're ready to make noise next season, provided Altman doesn't fuck up the roster. But they're going to waste at least one more season, maybe more, before they get to that point.

Waste so much time starting Okoro. He's not ready to be a starter, he's a development piece

At some point, he either has to contribute consistently, or you identify his position as an area of need and look into upgrading it. Maybe that’s what LeVert was, but that hasn’t worked out so well. So here we are.

Once again proud that they even made it a game, but the predictable result happened.

Am I way off base or shouldn't we have started pulling up some 3s during those last 3 minutes? We're down multiple possessions with limited time and we spent it trading 2s, felt almost like a forfeit.

You're right about the bolded. Instead we'd rather trade buckets when our opponent is conceding the layups, giving us no chance to gain ground. For some reason (cough JBB cough) we never ever do this like other teams in the league.
 
How does your starting small forward score 0 points?
 
I think the final score is a little bit of fool’s gold because you got the sense Brooklyn could get an easy bucket any time they really needed one. You take your chances with Kylie shooting 100% on jumpers before you let their role players get dunk after dunk after dunk,

I respect the fight. They didn’t give themselves a chance after getting rolled in the 1st, but they still fought. By all rights, they should win on Friday if they bring the 2-4th quarter energy from tonight.

JBB would be wise to put Okoro on ice until next season. You can’t hide a guy as bad as he is on offense on a team that relies so heavily on one player. Feel like they’ve been trying to will Okoro into being a valuable piece all season and it just isn’t working. Give it a shot next year, but turn it over to Stevens.
