Then, stop watching, but we won't. They have to see it in their pocketbooks and ratings going down on TMC. Additionally, hopefully the team keeps performing embarrassingly bad, and she realizes she is over her head. Otherwise? We're stuck in futility
Oh I actually only watched a little bit of last night and didn’t watch the game before. Being on the east coast makes it easy to skip the late games. Not staying up to watch this. Also canceled League pass so I wont have an option to watch after this month.
Looking at these stats, tell me, how is Ham better than Vogel? Coach was the least of our problems, we need a new owner and a GM asap.
Yup, Vogel had his problems as well but the team (players who quit on him, and front office who built the roster) needed a scapegoat. Rob was next in line to be the next scapegoat but then Jeanie extended him.
The only reason to not have faith is because we’re just going with what LeBron/Klutch wants. Before that we were actually good at putting together a young and talented squad. I still think we have it in us after LeBron and Co are gone.
Our Scouting Department have proven their worth. I have 1,000,000,000,000 times more faith in them than LeGM and Klutch.
And again, why does anyone think the scouting department wasn’t involved with the evaluation of players we had a chance to get? If we’re crapping all over the selections then they and Ham too have culpability.
The GM makes the final call on all player acquisitions. Now, maybe the Rambii have some say in this, who knows? Typically, the scouting department can suggest certain players, but honestly, with our situation after the Russ deal, we are dealing with the bottom of the barrel because of the uneven use of our cap space. Good players cost money- a lot more than minimum contracts. I said earlier this year that I was wrong about the Lonnie Walker signing. He’s been pretty decent offensively.
We have a 3-star team in which our cap is depleted by those 3, leaving only rookies, vet mins and the MLE for the FO to work with. It takes a clever GM to fill in those blanks and make a team like San Antonio did with their 3 stars and their scouting and recruiting into foreign countries. They were progressive and worked the problem by going outside of the norms. They also made a clever trade on draft night in 2011 and brought in Kawhi Leonard to play with their big 3. Point is you can't just do nothing when you have what we have to work with to fill this roster, we do have a good scouting department that usually produces us 1 good player (currently Reaves) but the rest of our team are scrubs. After Reaves our best players are Walker, Schroder (if he ever plays) and Pat Bev and it's all junk after that. Nunn, may return to his former glory but he ain't doing anything for us now. We are playing guys like Gabriel, Brown, Jones, Toscano-Anderson, Ryan, Max Christie.....scrubs. That group got 112 minutes vs the Kings and Matt "Ice" was a DNP and so was our wiz kid, Nunn who I am renaming "None". Our FO is not clever enough to work with what we got.
Good points, but now Christie’s a scrub too? Come on! He’s earning some minutes young like THT did at similar age with Vogel in the Bubble. Doubt anyone expected Nunn once back to not be a consistently useful player both sides of the ball. At least Max plays D and is taller, has a mid range game and is starting to sink some 3s.
I, for one, did not expect Nunn to be this bad. I expected him to play somewhat close to the type of game he was producing in Miami. Christie isn’t a scrub, but at his age, and draft position, should not be counted upon to be a difference maker. If this team were constructed properly, he would rarely see any burn.
He’s out there developing and contributing a little considering lack of same with Nunn and Bev, and yeah no one “expects” that out of him. So win win in my book. Not something in and of itself to grump about or lump him in with scrub declarations just because ahead of schedule, of course, out of necessity.
Probably 2-11 after tonight. There isn't a game until Friday in Detroit. I think we'll win that game. I think Cade has been out. Not sure if he's playing in the game Friday. After that, some winnable games, but with the way we been performing, I doubt it.
