Who isn't replaceable besides Melo and Bridges? Took Batum's shitty contract and handed it to Hayward who plays 20% of games. Coach can't force the guys to make shots but they gotta be trying to get him fired. No team shoots 30-35% for 2 weeks in a row

Its not just the shooting.  Look at the defense.  Sabonis has hardly done anything at our weakest spot defensively, and yet they're up 30.  Its because guys are just out there not giving a poo.  They aren't talking, not communicating, just literally watching poo as it unfolds like the rest of us.  It's pathetic.  And that does go on coaching.

LOL at everyone crapping on the Hornets bad tonight but Indiana is hitting fuggin everything they shoot.  Cant ignore how great they have shot the ball tonight.

But, its not hard to shoot 60% when you are shooting wide open shots every possession.

I mean the Hornets have missed like probably 10-12 open 3's. Gotta be bad coaching vibes

Yeah, but its clear our guys don't give a poo.  Theirs do.  I get the feeling with a lot of our guys, basketball isn't what motivates them.

Its why I hope we go ahead and trade guys like PJ this offseason.

The defense has been bad.  I cant say otherwise.  All hope is definitely not lost with this team though.

Lamelo should not be on the court right now.  Clearly the wrist is hurt.  Get him out now.

All this talk about coaching but we saw this with Clifford too. Maybe Borrego needs to go but you cannot absolve the players for this abysmal effort. These aren't janitors these are the big leagues.

It's on players too, but when your coach is letting that poo keep sliding, that's where it begins and ends.  It's a slippery slope to navigate for coaches in the NBA, but if he doesn't command the respect of the locker room and is a push over just letting guys get away with this poo over and over again without being accountable, he has to go.

I didn’t see adjustments but what could he do?  You cant do a 180 now...what you implemented didn't work.

And this is where I throw in the towel on Borrego.  I like him, but his negative just outweigh the positives.  Defense is about focus and effort and we have neither.  Our guys are just going through the motions...  and offensively, literally anyone from this board could "coach" what they're out there doing right now...  just roll the ball out there and take turns jacking horrible shots up.

This has nothing to do with our youth or injuries.  They have significant injuries and are still waxing us.  And youth will struggle like this when there isn't any structure, which there obviously isn't.  This is so frustrating to watch.

Only positive about Borrego is he is decent at developing young players. He is average to below average at basically every other coaching metric.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
