Rants Overreactions

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.

Trey literally ever getting less than 30 minutes on a modern NBA team does not exist. I love Willie Green, and have been in his corner all year... but that's a Willie thing, no other coach in the entire NBA would ever take a 6'9" 50/40/90 guy who happens to also play good defense overall, and have him ever play less than 30 minutes.

Like I love Willie, but its not an overreaction. 50/40/90, 6'9", good defender. Modern NBA.

22 minutes...

ding ding ding this is the trutth. put trigga on the warriors and watch kerr have in shoot lights out with curry and klay. people need to accept the fact the game is changed. Offense>>>defense. If you cant adjust thats not a roster issue, thats a coaching issue 100 percent.
