Wmc 15/16: We are finally at the END! BYE BYRON!!!

^^ Bad game for pretty much everyone except Jordan, unfortunately. Maybe it was the back to back and having to fly out to Milwaukee.

 

Mitch has no one to be disgusted with but himself. B0ron could have been fired a handful of games into the season, pre-season plus those games was enough to see he hadn't changed. Instead they kept him on to save money and be Kobe's enabler in his farewell tour, and eventually probably to try and ensure the draft pick.

Remember when we thought these were the dark times?



Look at the score, they were bright in comparison, ha.

 

1. Kevin Loughery -94.0
2. Byron Scott -91.5

It's coming.

 

I'm going to put this here because it's disappointing to hear confirmation but Ireland and Ramona said during crosstalk that Kobe and Jordan and Lou are sitting now because the Lakers are tanking. They especially hinted that Jordan is well enough to play but was pulled from yesterday's game because they're trying to lose.

 

If that's true that's pathetic and a new low for the franchise. And the Hawks game was horrible, I almost felt bad for some of the players in awful lineups out there, their defense locked us DOWN. I want the pick as a reward for sitting through this season and for the good of the franchise, but if we lose it, I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna laugh at Jim and Mitch, and count the days until at least Jim is gone. And if B0ron isn't fired in order to tank again, it will be an even lower low for us.

 

Scapegoat.

 

I finally saw the game last night replayed on ESPN. First I'll say it was clear from the start that the Warriors had pencilled this game in as a win a long time ago. They looked disinterested, slow, out of sync, maybe even tired. Of course some ESPN shows today hinted that they probably partied Saturday night in LA, and an afternoon game was terrible for them the next day, that's the only way the pathetic Lakers could beat them. Our defense was as good as I think we are capable of playing it, but the Warriors got a lot of layups, and a lot of open threes, they were just ice cold. They were just comming up court and chucking threes, not the typical swing the ball around stuff, just bored chucking.

To our credit we were challenging them at the rim, and we were getting away with a lot of stuff we'd usually be whistled for, they let them play. We also threw 2 guys at Curry a lot, forcing him to pass the ball or take highly contested threes. Normally he'd still make those, but it's still a smart strategy, you live with the others beating you, if you can contain him. Overall, it was a really fun game to watch, Russ got hot for a stretch, Randle got hot for a stretch, and then JC did, and Huertas was dishing like Nash again like from preseason. This is not the sort of game to "save" a coach like B0ron's job though, the Warriors were sluggish and had they made threes even close to normal it's a different game.
