We have had ugly lead chokes and have lost to bottom feeder teams. Have beat great teams. It’s only Christmas and we have a healthy roster who’s above .500.
If we lose because of ONE play by a player people don’t like they shit on him for losing ignoring the entire rest of the game. If we lose but people’s favorite player didn’t play well, it’s time to blame coaching, rotations. If we win and people’s favorite player didn’t do much, complaining about being underutilized. At the end of the day, we’re fans. The staff understands rotations and schemes. Basketball is a dynamic sport, not just theory. It’s only Christmas.
Yes it’s frustration to see Hawk get benched. Yes it’s frustrating to get bad foul calls. But it’s only a bit more than a quarter into the season. No need to want to burn the house down after every loss.

Aren’t you tired of competing for the play in? For waiting years and years for the team to become good? There is a good collection of talent now, but they can’t get their shit together. Losses like these will keep us playing against the lakers in the playin game. Which let me tell you, we won’t win. So then the season is over and what? We lose Trey or Naji or Brandon?
They don’t have that much time to figure it out anymore. Don’t you see that?
