    He will be let go.

    There is a possible downfall here, though, that has been discussed ad nauseam: we will end up with a worse coach.

    Bug I'll trust Magic.

    Two options. You make Lavar shut up and all the outside nonsense and show support for Luke.

    Or you fire him right now. This waiting and seeing is the worst option. Let BShaw takeover.

    Odds on Luke lasting til next week as coach if we get clobbered again tonight against the c-bags? My guess, 95% he gone.

    If you are going to make a change, might as well give Brian Shaw a look as the interim coach.

    I'm glad that Rob gave him some support. Canning Luke at this juncture wouldn't be good. Let him finish out the season and then we'll see where we are at. I don't think he's coming back next year, but you never know. It all depends on us making the post season and having a good showing there. If we don't make it he deserves to be fired. If we make it and get swept or look terrible in that first round, he's gone, no doubt. If we surprise people and make noise into the second round he may get a reprieve.

    Only way they'll let him stay, which I'm fine with because I don't see better options out there, is if Magic and Rob pick out at least one veteran assistant on that bench. Hopefully we bring back Coach Rondo too, he definitely helps.

    Yeah hope for great showing rest of this year. Keep Luke and change out 2/3 of the assistants. Make it mandatory with Magic deciding and bring in the specialists he needs.

    Yeah I'm fine with keeping Luke, but we need assistant specialists, and we have none right now. Shooting specialist. Defensive specialist. Free throw specialist. Lets get some assistants that each have a unique skill that they're great at.

    Please fire yourself.

    1st half - Sits Lebron / Kuz / Ingram all at once.....Philly lead balloons
    2nd half - Sits Lebron / Kuz / Ingram all at once......Philly lead balloons

    Plays KCP with Lance when he's best working off of ball movement not ISO garbage...
    Why is Rondo playing off the ball and Lance dominating the ball.

    Sits Kuzma through the end of the 3rd and mid 4th when he's cooking and we need points.

    C'mon man.

    This man will not win us big games.
