Book is going to pound the air out of the ball and take a bad shot
That is ALWAYS his move.

We are not making the playoffs. This is an absolute failure of a season. Dont want hear about how it’s actually good because many predicted us to win only 29 games. Gtfo with that. Expectations change, We set a standard how we should play this season and we have failed to live up to that standard in the last month. Just brutal.

He refuses to play length for some strange reason.

Book in the second half: 1-7 FG, 4-7 FT, 6 points. He's not Him.

Just Booker and Green taking turns is not a crunch time offense, it looked just like last year with KD and Booker just going back and forth while everyone else just stands around. No movement, no rotations, no passing, just vanilla poop. Soft serve, they deserved to lose that.

It's probably because his wife keeps saying size doesn't matter.

They clearly need more work on their roster if they don't trust their big men to play in crunch time.

And I don't think the Booker-Green combination works in the backcourt long term. Too much of their games depend on pounding the ball and looking for their own shoot.

We've seen that too often to say it isn't him.

I would have given the Suns a 50-50 chance against the Spurs. Against the Thunder ? Not at all.

This team can’t handle any form of expectations. Get a 4th qtr lead and panic at the ft line like freshmen.

Any chance our owner gets reactionary and cans ott if we lose to clippers ? Ott has been fairly exposed post asg.
he is young and may grow but:

Terrible 4th qtr coach
Has clear favourites even when not working.
Seems satisfied with too much iso
Seemed unable to unify the team during the most important stretch of the season.

It’s like the ghost of Vogel returned to haunt us.


No you calm down!

To continue to roll out the same bench when it's not working is asinine.

Man man
Fleming
Dunn
CG


That's your bench squad. PLAY THEM.
