Kobe is heating up so it will be a bumpy ride

 

[fnordius]

And tonight it's Mo Evans, taking the place of Mobley and Hart.

We sure go through a lot of guards, don't we?

 

[AriesMar27]

the way that this team loses is depressing to watch... not having a shotblocker or atleast someone that is willing to attempt to take a charge sucks...

miller just lets people fly by and/or over him...

 

[SacKings384]

'twas just a matter of time...

We got a shotblocker...I think Petrie finds em unaesthetically pleasing so he's tellin Muss not to play him.

Either that or we have a bad coach

Or maybe just a few final twitches.

I think they probably have to keep the body alive long enough for the transplant team to navigate through traffic.

 

[piksi]

Muss timing for the timeouts is priceless

 

[piksi]

Another in line of horribly pathetic performances by Mike Bibby. He would be better of in a nail salon and so would we

 

[piksi]

Bynam, Evans and Brown still perfect from the field

 

[Sluggah]

alright. down 20. call it. and lets get some "playing time" for the youth.

why ?
we are only 3 consecutive 7pt plays away from taking the lead

 

[Sluggah]

apparently coach actually believes this to be the case.

 

[VF21]

I don't blame the players any longer. They're horribly disheartened. Any rhythm they started to get tonight was pretty much stifled by the genuis sitting in the coaching seat on our sidelines.

Phil Jackon...

Eric Musselman...

Jackson ought to at least be required to wear blinders or something. Or maybe only be able to sit on the bench for 5 minutes every quarter...

From VF's PBP:

I cannot wait for the off-season. This is just painful. I don't want to think about lins or wosses or any crap like that. I just want to see a different group of players with a clean slate next season. And I DEMAND a new coach.

My thoughts EXACTLY.

 

[The Hammer]

I think we should fire Muss after the game. Douby, Williams, Price all haven't seen the court. Fire him now and get a yes man in there to play the youth. Can someone tell me why we haven't done that yet? And can that person tell me in a week why we haven't done it then, if need be? I'll need to know, because now I don't. Is there anything about keeping Muss till the end of the season that makes sense?

 

[piksi]

Why is Ron still in the game ?

 

[Sluggah]

with our luck, i consider it a miracle none of our starters have suffered an injury during garbage time this season

 

[piksi]

the whole season is garbage time

 

[fnordius]

Why is Ron still in the game ?

In the hopes that we can keep them down to 62% shooting.

 

[gunks]

Petrie, Maloofs, please please please chew Muss's *** out after this game and get him to play the youth!

 

[piksi]

How bad would we be if we weren't defensive minded team ?

 

[chelle]

Why is Ron still in the game ?

Because he hasn't taken himself out. Muss forgets that he is the coach where Ron is concerned and the team forgot that he is the coach way back in November.

 

[piksi]

In the hopes that we can keep them down to 62% shooting.

it worked. We kept them to 61.7%

 

[VF21]

The question was why is Musselman still the coach?

Because they have to pay him anyway and at this point it might actually be the easiest way to improve our lottery situation.

I love this team but damn...

Muss isn't good at anything. He can't even lose consistantly.

 

[The Hammer]

Is it really going to have to come down to being "mathematically eliminated" from the playoffs before Muss plays the youth? This is becoming silly. There must be some kind of Greek myth that allegories Muss this season. I need some kind greater understanding for my own solace. Can someone help me?

yes and make sure to remember that Muss isn't good at math either

Who was the hero who was doomed to push a rock uphill all during the day only to have his liver torn out and eaten? And it happened every single day...

That might not fit but it's what I immediately thought of...
