Basically we suck arse every other season so don’t have high expectations. What kind of fandom is that??!!


What kind of fandom? A pleasant one. A happy one. A content one.

I mean this 100% genuinely, man. Try to find some enjoyment in life.

Although JV never really got a chance because of Willies obsession with Nance.
We've reached a point where it is painfully obvious to everyone but Willie that there is no matchup where it ever makes sense to play Nance more minutes than Val.

Nance is terrible. Val is good. This isn't difficult, Willie overthinks it.

think criticizing their performance and multiple poor performances at the end of games is more than fair when evaluating their ceiling in the playoffs.


That's a very different statement from "how can you defend Willie Green?"

Agreed. Its going to be a quick exit from the playoffs if the pels cant figure out how to handle physical play in clutch situations.

Not really, when he is the one manning the ship of these collapses. Your defense is they have a winning record? I think pretty much every other head coach could take this roster to a winning record. He is a player's coach which is indeed very important in the NBA but they suck when adjustments are needed.

This has been an issue since last season. I just don’t understand this weird obsession that Nance somehow plays better. Like has Griff not told Willie wtf are you doing???

Lol this might be the only solution. When we get blasted in the first round- I’ll just get high and “enjoy the moment.”

One of many. Check our net rating on offense and defense. Top 10 in both. That's an elite team with elite coaching.

Speculative arguments aren't really going to sway my opinion.

What if I told you this team has made several adjustments throughout the season and merely lack consistency? Because that's reality

Yet underperforming their 4th net rating with the 8th best record. Seems as though they are underperforming, again, their clutch rankings are terrible. To say that they have elite coaching is laughable.

I literally edited a post that was slightly snarky toward you because I'm going out of my way to be civil with you. I changed it to a funny George Costanza quote.

So elite coaching includes having one of the worst clutch teams in the league as well?

Yeah that is a little too strong for me to say elite.

We do have bad crunch time stats.

We also have a lot of other really really good stats that still make your "how can you defend Willie Green" statement look bad too

Rather than bitching about coaching, Is Zion rebounding now because Bill Simmons complained about it on the Sunday pod with Russillo? 11 boards in the 3 games last week before the pod, 20 in the two games this week.
