Willie Green needs some heat too.For the people in back still denying itDon't give a fukk about "tough, scrappy" moral victories in fake comebacks on a 10 game losing streak. I care about WINS and when Zion was running the show this team was winning more than anyone in the conference. Now they're LOSING more than any team in the league over this stretch. If there's a player Zion wants to play with that's available this deadline GO GET HIM. Don't care what it costs or who on the roster/coaching staff it might upset.

All the jokes we did to the Lakers and they about to pass us lmao. Franchise will never be shyt man.
We cooked mane.
This is a bad slide. Because we're on a short window with CJ and BI and Zion being our 1 and 2's and injury prone is not a good look going forward.
fukk it, trade BI. And build around Zion til CJ leaves.
Legit thought the streak would last well after the break.
Glad to be wrong. Can't think of a better team to do it against either

Was gonna say that we're b_ck but I don't want to jinx it 
J Rich just got here and he's already the 3rd best player in the team.
Watching the local feed. David Griffin sitting in with Joel and AD. It's crazy this is like the 5th or 6th time he's had to jump on the mic and talk fans off the ledge.

This team will never be **** with us counting on Zion. I hate to say it but its true. Until he shows us he can play more than 60 games a season, it's a waste of time going into every season building our hopes around him
Tough decisions need to be made this offseason. I'm not saying trade Zion or BI, but both are prone to injuries so something has to be done to combat for the fact that your two stars are not dependable. We cannot keep playing the "we just gotta see how we look when they're healthy" game anymore.

It's the same shyt every year. Tired of them going into "talk fans off the ledge" mode. It's getting old. This season looks like a lateral move for our trajectory at best. That's not good.J Rich just got here and he's already the 3rd best player in the team.

This team on some New Orleans Saints shyt
Trey being punished for not winning the dunk contest I guess

Starting Herb over Trey is bozo coaching. You boys look chalked without Zion even though there's enough talent on the roster to be competitive without him. I don't think Willie's a good coach. Griffin's not gonna get unlimited coaching decisions but Ime would be worth going for in the offseason.
We'll probably never know how he re-aggravated his hamstring injury but they gotta figure something out with his body. Maybe it was worse than what they initially reported? When he was playing, the Pels looked like a championship contender. He's that fukking good when he's on the floor.
They coulda made some moves at the deadline, but what's the point if Zion isn't playing?

Firing Willie would mean 4 coaches under Griff watch. How many Presidents/GMs ever got that much leeway (probably a lot but still...)
Worst coach in the league, and it isn't close either.
Actually insane this imbecile makes BYRON fukkING SCOTT look competent in comparison. Gnetry had offenses featuring Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca scoring more points, and SVG at his most stubborn wasn't this stupid with his lineup and personnel decisions (man gave Kira more minutes than Willie ever has, when Jrue Holiday was on the roster to boot!). I'd say "His job is safe cause the players love him and play hard for him at least".... but truth be told?? Hasn't looked like they wanna play for this bozo in a minute. 
They most certainly were not "fighting hard" for him in this game that's for sure. Griffin didn't give Gentry nor SVG more than a single year each, and Griff was closer with Alvin specifically than all but a handful of people across the entire league from their time in PHX. He's fired coaches for doing BETTER with much, much WORSE rosters than what Willie's managed this season. IDK brehs

Yeah, I'm not sure how it would work. It's not like he's been there 15 years either. New coaches every year or two is not gonna fly with ownership.
It's a weird situation because the roster is good, even without Z, but the coaching has been a mess. Willie is not the guy.
