#FireVlade / #FireWalton

[SLAB]

5 games is all it took.

Good job fellas.

This franchise is completely dead in the water, and the poor poor fanbase is completely aware of it.

We don’t deserve this... but to quote our old friend Rudy Gay, “Welcome to basketball hell.”

 

[kingsboi]

5 games is a bit premature, even for you but I will say this....the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Maybe for Walton.

Vlade can kick rocks. For everything. Good riddance.

 

[NewArena]

Walton is surely the one that has to go. I just saw the score

Wow

 

[Sactown ExPat]

I’m surprised I agree, but I do. This is awful, and so much less than we deserve. Us and Knicks fans...just stuck in purgatory. Take Napear too. I’ve had enough.

Fire Walton and bring back Yogurt!

 

[Fear the Putin]

bbbbbbut Walton connects with the players! Make them feel fuzzy in the tummy. Makes them feel like he's one of them!

I never understood that whole schtick with hiring these coaches that are nice and "connect" with their team.

I want a ****ing general! Give me a god damn general who will whip these boys in place and turn them into a team that is out to take heads.

 

[Kings_of_California]

Never liked the Walton hire in the first place.

Not gonna totally throw him under the bus yet. Just walking with him towards it, ready to throw him under.

I'm joining the angry mob.

Fire Walton. Make Kokoskov or someone coach for the year, hire a Boston assistant, hell make Doug Christie the coach. It doesn't matter, there's no where to go down and no chemistry, locker room, offense, or defense you would be missing out on. This is the worst team in the league and it's not even close.

Fire Vlade. Ken Catanella brokered a good deal with Buddy, maybe he could do the job, but it doesn't really matter. Anyone would be an upgrade over Vlade and his blunders.

Shoot Bogdan Bogdanovic into space.

Fox, Buddy, Bagley, and Giles should demand out. Simultaneously. I would actually like them even more if they go ahead and do that. Because then I would get to laugh spitefully at everyone who insist on defending Vlade to their dying breath.

 

[sauce-26]

Is it just me, or does this team not look like they have an offensive plan on the court? Like to me they look like a ymca pick up squad just playing around

 

[macadocious]

THERE. IS. NO. OFFENSE!!!

5 games is too early, but gotta say the signings were a mistake. They simply don’t fit what Walton wants to do. We get slower and less athletic when Walton’s switching defense is dependent upon length and athleticism.

On offense, you sign Joseph who just stands there and pounds the ball, but combine him with Bogi, who also just stands there and pounds the ball. Ariza conned the Kings. Dude is on his last legs. Dedmon is a system player.

This is going to be a lonnnnnnggggg year.

There were glimpses in the 1h where each player touched the ball before a shot. That disappeared in the 2h.

I think, at the end of the day, we got slower, shorter, older, and less athletic. And without collective buy in on moving the ball, we’re going to lose pretty much every game this year.

Walton is trying to play players, whose game just doesn’t fit. Bogdon and Joseph are a clusterf*ck on the court together. And it gets worse 2x when Ariza is on the court with them.

 

[The_Jamal]

Only good thing that can come out of this season is finally getting a real GM to right the ship and build this team the right way.

 

[NewArena]

I just don’t really care anymore. They clearly don’t

 

[NewArena]

Seeing walton talk his usual crap after the first half is what’ll pee me off

He needs to shot some freaking anger or SOMETHING. They’re taking on his lackadaisical crap attitude

 

[kingdivac]

It comes down to total lack of preparedness when you get blown out in professional sports. This team is clearly worse than last year - crystal.
Their defense is worse and their offense now has followed suit. What a Grease trap....I hear the crowd booing.

 

[Sactown ExPat]

Is Hinkie still hanging out as a Stanford guest lecturer?

It doesn't have to be a long year.....just take a break from the circus.

boom. being invested in another sport and team just makes the inevitable much easier to swallow.

In case anyone is interested. Here is an article for the least amount of games before a new coach was fired.

The record belongs to Jerry Tarkanian on the San Antonio Spurs, getting fired after just 20 games his new team.

There is a good chance Luke may beat that record, if this thing doesn't turn around quick!

Not worth the time and energy.....these clowns get paid way too much money to mail it in.

 

[EIM86]

I said this after the Trailblazers game. You could tell nobody did diddly squat over the summer outside of the players

Try to imagine 15 more games of this.

 

[kingdivac]

Actually hell, bring in Guy and James, and let 'em frolic and get their feet wet.

it makes it easier to find another interest or just watch the rest of the association, there are good games almost on a nightly basis

Boom, on the money. As mentioned before, give me a general. Hell, General Mathis seems like he's bored these days. I'm pretty sure he can motivate this squad with 0 bball knowledge. It's not like we have an offense we run or anything.

No thank you. - feel bad for brother who picked some tickets for a few games.

Well it's very apparant since we were scoring 110+ regularly last season with ease
