We've lost five games in a row here. Won once in preseason out of three games.
Won once in 8 games in the bubble.

So far in those 16 games we've won twice.

Brooks has been given a long ass leash saying it's a talent issue in the bubble. It's only pre season. It's only early in the season. But we losing too much. We have two all nba players and can't do shyt....

Either coach sucks or something fundamentally wrong with how we built.

Wittman would be undefeated with this roster.

EDIT: I googled what Randy's been up to, and he ain't done shyt since the Wizards. I say we drag his yuck mouth ass out of retirement.

Most of the prob with coaching in the nba is finding the right rotations throughout the game, and understanding what 2 man combos can carry an offense.

Russ should be playing with Bertans exclusively.

Russ mins should be staggered completely with Brad. Except the first 4mins of a game, 4 mins of 2nd half, and last 4 mins.

just my thoughts

The managing the lineups is an issue especially defensively. And Brooks takes too long to adjust when things are going left. Other teams are gifted opportunity to come back. Then the opposing teams key in on Beal and suddenly we lose in that short run.

Having Raul guarding Fultz with Robin lopez on the backline is a shyt idea. So in the first place the personnel out there is not in a position to succeed and are food out there. Troy Brown jr who I thought would be better defensively looking lost out there. Nobody knows who to guard and there's confusion out there as to who is picking up who. Probably because there's no defensive schemes. Lack of attentiveness.

Bertans was so cautious not to get injured before he received a contract that he didn't get in shape.

Also there's no offensive schemes during crunch time and we forced to force feed Beal. That's why we losing in the fourth.

It's coaching. Lack of preparation on offensive sets to run in crunch time. Not having the right defensive matchups.

I'm from where Petey come from


For the fact that it took Brooks this long to figure out a half way decent rotation should be cause for dismal :scust:

As much as Ro Lo plods he's really good for getting our shooters shots behind his big ass screens.
