Sorry, Corbin. Maybe it's not you're fault. But that team I just saw play against the Nets looked like a poorly coached team. Poor decisions with the basketball, poor rotations, lackluster effort on D, players not seeming to know what their roles are, players forcing the issue and playing some hog-ball instead of team ball. It wasn't pretty. If this keeps up, I could easily see Cousins blowing a gasket. He's not going to check out. He's going to explode.

can't blame corbin really. he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. it's apparent he's doing what the FO is telling him to do. basically suck ass.

We lost by 8; McCallum was 0-5 with 3 turnovers. He was -13 on the floor. He seriously cannot dribble penetrate at all and it clogs up the offense.

Have an effective player in his spot and yeah, we would have won the game.

I can cherry pick statistics that will show virtually every player responsible for this loss. Putting on McCallum is delusional and unfair. But hey, you're entitled to your opinion...

Lame duck head coach who knows hes gone soon and the locker room seems to be falling apart. What a shocker.

This is what sucks too, what the heck kind of desire other than being a wonderfully helpful guy does Corbin even have to keep things in order? If Malone could get fired in the fashion he did how is there anything Corbin could do to make him think he can secure this head coaching job long term. He could probably win the championship and not be secure if recent history is any indication. If firing Malone had any long term plan involved it's time to get on that now. Wasting a season is not an option at this point. Things have turned far too negative to just plod along and simply wait it out. If Mullin doesn't want his fanny in the fire mid-season well tough, if this is your gig dude take it now. It will be just that much more pressure next year because any and every mistake you make will be hit with the worlds largest magnifying glass and dissected to no end.

Why don't you tell me? I didn't make an assumption, merely an observation about what I expect other people to assume. What happens when you make an observation?

It's an old saying, google it. Right now you're making an assumption that my post above was anything more than what it was at face value. Which was a rather famous saying being used to illustrate a point.

I think this really falls on Mullin, so it's odd that he is who is holding up hiring a new coach.

"Wait What The Hell OLD GUY WITH NO AVATAR!"

Here, let me explain.

Vivek is the money/face/owner of a group.

PDA is the personnel and book keeper guy, but he's not a basketball guy. Neither is the stats gurus they've brought in.

Mitch and Mullin are the basketball guys. I don't know what Mitch is doing or if he's really around, but obviously Mullin is the guy with the most pull and a basketball background.

And apparently nobody warned PDA/Vivek that a locker room can be lost by the favored coach being fired. Nobody explained the day to day basketball court reality. And that's the tear down that's happening now.

I know how the saying goes, and it doesn't apply. I didn't make an assumption. I said that I expect other people to make an assumption. And, right after I said that, here you come. No assumption involved.

Check the timeline of your post and my original one again. You seem to have this gift of calling Mondays weather on the following Tuesday morning.

Great job Vivek and PDA. You've struck gold, haven't you?

Ok sure.

Show me statistics that show Cousins is responsible for the loss.

Or Gay.

Or Collison.

Or Stauskas.

I'm not saying the statistics don't exist, but I would like to see them.

*McLemore didn't have a good game either.

Just call me Epimethius.

I don't know what version of what browser you're using, but on mine, I can't tell what other people have typed until after I've finished typing. You might have posted that before I did, but you hadn't posted it before I'd started typing so, from my point of view, it's no different.

OK, but I also invented the washing machine, just because someone came out with it first doesn't mean I didn't. Haha, just razzing. I believe you. I added to this above but I'll move it down here. And yes, your inference that my post was related to your prediction that someone was going to assume who it was based on their dislike for a particular player is at the very heart of it's existence assumption that my original post was an example of such. Hate to tell you, but your first response to my post wasn't an observation, it was assumption that they are my least favorite players.

DMC’s comments to media post game about seeing people’s true colors when fighting thru adversity speaks volumes about where this team is now

I'm trying to think about what player or players he's talking about and really don't think it's about any player. Corbin? Maybe Cuz wants to do things the old way and Corbin is trying to cater to management.

Could be PDA. He's been off the grid and certainly could be a target with the Malone firing.
