    This guy played Melo and Monk 44 minutes a piece. Lebron is in his 2 game back, AD coming off of flu like symptoms. They played 50 minutes a piece. There are other guys on the bench

    Man he under achieved last year too. Pick a name and he could have won in the bubble, it wasn't Frank's genius

    Lebron and AD will probably play 40 plus against Detroit too.

    Underachieved with the key stars injuries last year plus FO office screw ups and pick any name for the bubble. That’s some prime hating and a bad take. But you do you and make sure no matter what else is said you have the last word stating opinion as absolute fact. Maybe it wasn’t genius but it was world class defense always with at least “decent” players to play it.

    Regardless as to who's to blame, this divorce needs to happen. The players are not listening to Frank and he's not optimizing the team either.

    Who you want Rock, Fizdale, the 71-134 HC who’s never done jack in comparison?

    I wouldn't mind giving Mike D'Antoni a call, he is available.

    The way this generation of kids go their offense fuels their defense. I don't think they will be a lockdown defensive team (unless we make some changes) but with the offense opening up, they will be more motivated play better defense. Right now they look like they're stuck in the mud because of a stagnant offense.

    The Rock with some of the oddest takes I've seen from any long time member. Puzzling.

    If Dwight can find redemption, I wouldn't mind extending that same grace towards MDA. He can coach offense and this team is in desperate need in that end of the court

    Can't you tell that our problem is defense and defensive rebounding? MDA will only make it worse by playing THT at center.

    Oh stop with MDA and redemption. He f***** up a roster with far more potential here.

    Right the injury excuse doesn't fly when MDA was at the helm. That's funny

    Vogel has to be on the hot seat after this one. I’ve been calling for patience but this loss was absolutely inexcusable.

    Phil Handy is definitely called to be a player development coach, he is sensational in that area. I would not pull him away from that. Fizdale is worth a look as well. This team will definitely feel the addition by subtraction (ala Mike Brown). You can keep complaining that the roster is not there but he hasn't fully optimized the roster either, Vogel has to go. Ellington was doing alright as well he didn't get a look in any of the OTs to get a breather for Bron or Westbrook.

    It’s just humorous you, as long as you’ve been here, now thinking 70 year old failed one kind of way to play Mike D’antoni is the answer.
