BS.  You say we Underperformed???  That's about as lost are your handle.  This was one of our best performances....

 

 

I meant for the season

If Nate calls a time out and they put Simmons and Claxton back on the floor and shut down the inside and the outside... yall would be calling for his head for allowing them to get their defense back in the game. 

If you want something to blame... Blame all the missed FTs...

We missed 7 out of 22.

If you want something to blame..  Blame the refs for not calling obvious fouls... all game.

Nate saving that timeout for next season

[bleachkit]

There's a case to be made for not calling a timeout so as to not let the defense get set, but not with that little time left. We only had like 5 seconds on the clock.

[smoove31210]

Bye Nate! 

[Wretch]

Nique and Vince agree on the timeout...

So for you to come to this conclusion now... are you saying the tipping point was this game???  One of our best performances??

 

[Marvin24Williams]

Diesel really in here defending Nate for not taling a timeout with 5 secs on the clock to get the ball down the court. Come on man

He better have a great explanation as to why he didn't call timeout on that final play.

Forget the explanation I just want him out of here .

[BudBall]

Timeout thing is debatable so I wont be too hard on Nate on that. He will be let go at the end of the season so no need to spam fire him every thread. A coach like Bud we be 10 games above .500.

Diesel . . you have to call timeout in that situation.  They only had at most 4 seconds to get the ball up court.  And their entire team was back on defense.

Yes, it was a foul, but the refs aren't calling that type of foul 35 feet from the basket.

I think OO even tried to call timeout initially.

Nah.  I'm not about to let them get 6'10 Ben  Simmons in the game so that he can stand on top of Murray... 

OH... BTW.. who is inbounding?  6'10 Ben Simmons and 6'11 Nick Claxton and 6'9 Royce Oneal and 7'0 Kevin Durant...   whoose man do you allow to inbound the ball??

No time out because they didn't have their best defenders on the floor.

 

That's beyond stupid, we barely had time to get to halfcourt. A timeout was sorely needed.

JJ would be good for the inbound

[Marvin24Williams]

Diesel my man this is not an argument youre going to win. Deciding not to take a timeout when you have 5 seconds to bring the ball up the court is terrible clock management. 

[Diesel]

Advancing the ball vs transition against meh defenders... I pick advancing the ball with less than 5 seconds in the clock. 

Who is going to inbound the ball after your timeout??  And who will they throw it to?

 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

Call the timeout and advance the ball.

We had two game winners by calling a timeout and running a play...I would prefer to take that chance.

Your perception is not reality.  He's had monster games playing alongside Trae.

Trae is literally the 2nd best player he plays alongside.

 

We can agree to disagree. I know you're going to defend Trae no matter what.

C'mon Diesel - we had JJ inbound the ball to AJ for a game winner not so long ago.

Why didn't they call a clear path foul on Irving?  Did I miss the rule change?

[NBASupes]

Just finished watching the game, Nate really be wearing out his welcome. This is the type of coaching that gets you fired.

They rarely call that shit anymore.
