Well his rotations last night were fairly atrocious so he's certainly not without blame.

I like Jent. He lit a fire under Lebron 6 years ago.. maybe us now.. again. Dude talks the talk and walks it too. Go Jent!

He's our longest tenured coach, dating back to the last year of the Budenholzer era, and most importantly, he has our guys respect. Get these guys to buy in on defense and fix those damn rotations that Prunty messed up these past couple games. 

Lakers game plan was to attack Trae Young, A LOT. 

Getting smacked up on National TV when we're relatively healthy... Smh.

Schlenk might have to fire Nate..And if he does Ressler might have to fire him....Money down the drain....This team is BAD....Like worse than LP's team...

Fire Prunty. He has no idea what the hell he's doing. 

YOOOO WHY IS TLC PLAYING MORE MINUTES THAN CAM.

I love JB, but this is highway robbery.

Oh my thinking was not to trade for Simmons... 

Yeah Simmons wouldn't be my first choice. That would be Jaylen Brown, but I think he could work with us if he's willing to play a Draymond role here.

If you wait for JJ to develop he will probably be Simmons light. I don't think his passing would be as good, but everything else would be just as good and much better shooter.  

Well the defense may not be as good, but Ben wasn't a good defender when he came in either.

My thinking is that JJ would be effectively blocked with the presence of Simmons, JC, OO, Clint, etc. with no real avenue of seeking the court with us. At least in Philly he'll get that opportunity. 

In a package for Ben, my best offer would be Gallo, Cam, and JJ.

You know you've come a long way when news about you makes it into the New York Times.

I would've though that the buyout market would've been an option, but realistically, what vet wants to come to a 12th seed lol. Might as well keep TLC for depth. 

Delon is a different player when he's aggressive. This was the player I was expecting to get when we traded for him. 

These guys are playing defense like they don't want to be traded lol. 

De'Aaron Fox always kills us. I'm expecting the same tonight unless these guys are really committed to turning it around. 

Trae is out. Cam is in.

I find Cam's reputation as a good defender to be fascinating. I don't see it.

He's been gambling a lot more this year compared to the 2 years prior.

I'm really convinced that Delon Wright is miscast a backup point guard, and should instead be a wing. He has no natural point guard feel to his game at all. 

Point of attack defense needs to be addressed at the deadline, as well as backup PG.

Also, Gallo needs to go. Gallo plays a really important position that is supposed to help anchor a defense, and he is suboptimal at it.

The coaching staff needs to have the a discussion with Lou and let him know that he’s no longer a part of the rotation. If you aren’t at least scoring at a high clip anymore, you aren’t providing value to the team. It sucks because Lou has done so much in this league, but he is COOKED on both ends of the floor.

I have never seen such polarity in a team. A championship level offense, and a defense comparable to that of a team tanking for the number 1 pick.

Joe Prunty should never be allowed to coach an NBA game ever again. His lineup decisions down the stretch were abominable, my goodness. We just wasted 56 and 14 from Trae!!!

70 points at half is insane. We aren't playing any defense right now.
