Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I have noticed that both Garland and Levert keep asking for screens but often they dont do anything other than run around it and then stop. Defence just settles again and resets to the same position it was before.
 
Few things hype me up more than a ridiculous rebound from Garland
 
What an awful possesion. Prayer airball as the shot clock was expiring
 
How many times in the 2nd half have we launched shots to try and beat the shot clock. Stupid offense
 
Besides missing a few shots early Garland has played like he normally has. He’s just playing more minutes so the forced shots at the end of the clock due to shitty offense have added up. Some of that is on him, some on the coach.
 
You just cant leave Young open. I dont care how deep. Crowd his ass. Rely on your fucking help. We have 3 7 footers. Come on Caris.
 
This dumbass offense is killing me. Garland has to attack on those screens
 
3rd possession where we had no idea what the shot clock was at
 
Jesus Christ WTF was that from Levert. We did need Love in there. We need 3s
 
I've seen PLAYERS choke and go Jekyl and Hyde half to half.

But to watch a coach do it..

This dude was calling a timeout when our lead went to 12 to 10 in the first half.

Then Clint Capela goes down and we have run 1 post up play this half. ONE. Mobley to Okoro for an and-1 layup was the result.

He just watched the offense falter for about literally 14 straight minutes. And he didnt even TRY to fix it.
I think we agree on some (maybe most?) things with JBB while disagreeing on others.

I think he deserves all the criticism he gets for being too stubborn, being loyal to his favorites for too long, questionable rotations, not taking good timeouts, and the team being the worst in the NBA at inbounding.

I still see him as a young coach that can hopefully grow with this team, whose team was firing on all cylinders and had the all the looks of a dark horse contender before injuries absolutely derailed the season. If Rubio doesn't tear his ACL, this team is watching the play-in tournament from their couches while waiting to find out who their first round opponent is.

This team desperately needs to hire some kind of offensive assistant in the offseason.

Defense does not win the day in this league anymore.
 
This amazing defensive scheme sure allows a lot of open 3s
