This team is 2-19 since the start of last season in games decided by 4 points or less. Getting blown out is one thing but continuously losing close games falls on coaching. Hell, as much as I dislike Batum he has been used wrong his entire time here imo.

I haven't been a Clifford fan for some time now mainly due to his stubbornness and terrible rotations but seeing this stat after the loss tonight was just the cherry on top.

Hell, I'm not so sure we aren't a mid tier playoff team with the current roster and better coaching.  Which at least is something.  Of course everyone wants a ring, but until Lebron retires, and some of the Warriors go other places we weren't going to sniff one anyway.

Kemba is 0-15 his last 15 attempts 2 minutes or less in the 4th on go ahead baskets.  Why?  He barrels in to 3 defenders that are a foot taller than him expecting to get a LeBron call then chucks it wildly at the basket.  Is that kemba or is that the play we continue to call despite the fact it never fuging works.  Last two minute offense, everyone else stand around and watch kemba try and hit some bullshit.  I think that's coaching.

God I hate Clifford... You blame the players when Clifford draws up the same Kemba and Dwight pick and roll 4x.. Not one thought was made to maybe take advantage of a bigger MKG posting up a smaller Ellington ... Or poo put Lamb in and move Batum to SF ..  This fuging clown doesn't have a inventive bone in his body..

Confirmed that the iso kemba drive into 7 footers is Cliffords go to play at end of games, that's why everyone else stands around and that's why he continues to do it. Also batum is a pussy with the ball again.  Surprise surprise 

Ran it 4x at the end of the game..smh

Even after a TO...smh

Even when it was clear Spolstra put Winslow on Kemba to stop that exact play...smh

He is a horrible fuging coach..

Stephanie confirmed it on the sideline.  So so so fuging stupid. Kemba is under 6ft tall.  Not a 6'6 small forward.

The fact Clifford hasn't started to use Lamb in crucial situations late game over Batum blows my mind. Batum is guaranteed to turn the ball over when the pressure is on. On offense in the 4th he just stands around and if he decides to actually shoot it is the worst contested fade away you will ever see.

Batum is the worst contract in the NBA. Just accept it and stop giving him major minutes. have him run the second unit since our back up PG situation is so bad. This way he is never in any pressure situations and his dumb ass play doesn't hurt us when the game is on the line.

Yeah,  he threw a pass straight to the defender and I think he was the one that got a rebound stripped away from him.  Two turnovers for him in the last 2 minutes.  Sad thing is I think that's below his average.  Softer than Charmin, especially in crunch time.

Isn't it wild that we went from having the worst contract in the NBA (Plumlee) and flipping it into Dwight.. but little did we know that we ALSO had the 2nd Worst contract was hiding in plain sight on our roster (Batum).. we knew we overpaid for Batum - but never did we think it would get this bad..

Cho needs to Go!! He needs to be the first man to walk the plank.. followed by his staff - followed by Cliff and the coaching staff..

THEN and only Then, we can start to rebuild..

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
