Nah. They're in every game. Coach isn't putting them in the best positions to win and they're still learning how to do so.

 

[run.lmc]

Let the damn game slip away

 

[EddieDoyers]

Kuzma and JC have to be in for the last two minutes.....those are our best scorers

This is dumb as hell

You don’t need a coach to tell you to box out a FT shooter or not throw multiple dumb behind the back passes or make layups or make FTs
or to not charge into defenders out of control over and over

Every team does this. Ours mistakes are just tougher to overcome and often come in crunch time.

Luke had the Fizdale rotations going tonight

 

[darthska]

Luke slander?!

But, but, but... LUTE OLSEN, PHIL JACKSON, GREG POPOVICH, STEVE KERR PEDIGREE, DAMMIT!!

HE CAN DO NO WRONG BECAUSE OF HIS PEDIGREE!!

It's the players! Leave Luke alone! Can't coach trash!

[/HEAVY sarcasm]

The players being underwhelming and the coach being clueless in key elements of coaching ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

 

[Lizakers]

I can agree the players are bad and the coach makes mistakes

But we’ve lost to bad teams with Kuz and JC getting heavy minutes

 

[WAKKO!]

Is Luke really a good coach?

 

[goldmember]

Luke's rotation has been trash this season

 

[tupac003]

Frustrating game to lose. Still a very young team...losses like these happen.

 

[CP1708]

We win, rotations must be fine.

We lose, it's all rotations.


Y'all praise THE **** out of Nance for doin "the little things" like hustle, defend smartly, make the extra pass, etc, hence, the coach agrees with you and says Nance was our best player tonight, and you guys are mad cuz "points".

You guys DEMAND the young fellas play, so Luke puts in Ball instead of the "trash" Clarkson (remember y'all call him trash every day?????) And then you ***** about Luke playing Ball.

He can't win with you people. If he plays Kuzma and Clarkson and we lose "WHY THE **** IS BALL ON THE BENCH??????"

WHERE IS LOPEZ?????

WHERE IS NANCE?????

Yet, every God damn game folks trash Randle, Ingram too skinny, Clarkson is a black hole, Brooke is soft, Nance can't shoot, Ball can't shoot, KCP chuckin up crazy ****, but then question why the coach does or doesn't play them in crunch time.

Pick a lane and stay in the ****in thing.


My God some of you guys. The coach is not at fault for missed free throws in a close game. Coach isn't to blame for Austin Rivers rebounding his own missed free throws. Coach ain't to blame for the starters havin foul trouble at opening tip.

Players gotta do their jobs when they are called upon. If they need special handling game by game, they aren't good enough to win in the NBA folks. Newsflash.

Luke coached Golden State pretty damn well. Guys who did their job.
Same coach, more experience, lesser players. Pretty easy to grasp here.

Lot of you think MDA sucks too. Seems to coach pretty well in Houston. Prolly nothin to do with the players tho, right folks?

'sallgood tho, fire Luke, so you guys can get the next scapegoat hired/fired while *****ing about every player cept Kuzma. *Thumbs up*

 

[MajinZuub]

Did you really just credit Luke for coaching the Warriors

 

[CP1708]

Did you really just credit Luke for coaching the Warriors

Absolutely. He was the acting coach for 30+ games, yes? Or do those not count? Only the games with rookies and 2nd year guys count? My bad man.
