The Official Blow up the team thread.

[mhindy]

Agreed. After seeing these guys for 36 minutes a game for a year or two hopefully we could actually make some meaningful personnel decisions. One of our biggest handicaps right now is that other than Hayward, you don't really know who any of the other four can be, even on a game to game basis.

I don't think the team needs to be blown up, but Jefferson needs to go. I can't believe all these broadcasters talking about how the game turns after a few turnovers. The game turns when people stop playing hard which happens after you watch one of your teammates consistently not give a crap on defense. The last straw was when Jefferson let Horford rebound over him and walked away as Horford scored a layup. Rewatch the last ten minutes and focus on AL's effort on defense. Why does no one call him out?

Wait so the guards get a pass for leaving three point shooters open the entire second half, especilly the strech when the starters were on the bench, simply because of AL'S effort on defense?

How about Al's critics hold others accountable for once, when a loss isn't actually his fault. Especilly when the biggest reason we lost, was a stretch led by the bench when the starters weren't on the court, when we loss all momentum.

 

[Brown Notes]

Can the mods just sticky a couple melty/bandwagonny mega threads? Seems like it would save some effort, not including this one.

But but but we have a bunch of home games coming up... things will be ok (sarcasm)

Also i think when mellow said "i want to wait and see what this team can do when they are all healthy", i think he was being sarcastic as well.

This.

It's so ironic. The franchise is trying to maintain this "winning culture" partially because they don't think a market as small as this could survive a fall on tank. In reality, they might actually fill more seats if they played The Four 36 mins each.

But look how well we react to a team that is 2-games below .500. The Millers are crazy to not throw their whole hearted support into tanking and rebuilding.

Their absolute ceiling is a second round exit...and for what? They're all gone after this season anyway. Begin the youth movement.

I think our ceiling is winning ONE game in the playoffs and not getting swept. I just can't see Corbin outcoaching or outsmarting any opposing coach in this league.

I wish we would.

Even if we started that now and next year was one of our worst records ever.

Imagine if we gave the four 35 minutes a night to see what they are and they end up losing a bunch trying to grow all the while setting ourselves up for Wiggins or Parker.

Imagine the Jazz like the Charlotte Bobcats, it could be worse.

I know it has been better, I agree it could be better, I am uncertain if losing is the way to win in the long run. I'm just at a time and place where I am glad for what I have.

Jefferson was in during that stretch. The lineup when our lead went from 15-8 and momentum was lost for good was Jefferson, Favors, Hayward, Foye and Watson.
.
Watson turned the ball over twice and Jefferson once. Favors did not even touch the ball. The run for the Hawks started almost immediately upon Watson entering the game.
.
At least that is what I remember. I did not record it so can't go back and check.

Who here bought jerseys, season tickets, etc last season and this season? Thanks for enabling the Miller's model.

We are not asking for them to throw games. We want the more talented and younger players to see more floor time. I for one am not convinced that it would effect W/L record as much as some fear.
