I guaranty he will blame our poor defense on tired legs.

I can't believe phill found it OK to offer this dude a 5 Year contract

You can't blame Fisher without blaming Phil Jackson. We would even have more cap space is we kepts Felton and Chandler. And probably a better record.

I agree. Phil should have never hired that dude to begin with. And the Calderon trade is awful

There is nothing more bizarre than typing right now that we would probably be no worse or even better with Felton than Calderon. Certainly with Tyson.

That's OK though.

With Tyson, this team might have generated some wins. And that would have been a disaster of its own. The only good now is losing big.

The real issue is Calderon's chitty contract runs two years after this. That's where the pain lies now.

An 8 mil backup? Gonna have to do what Dallas did and attach some picks.

he got fleeced in that deal under the guise of two 2nd round picks. then he cheddar-bobbed himself by not picking up larkins option.

If someone give larkin more than 1.7 next year they will cheddar bob themselves and I am starting to like Larkin.

To end the journey and start a new might not yield the desired result. It may only satisfy the thirst bought on by disappointment.
A new coach would run the same system?

Does the first season of cultural change ruin the polish of 11 championships that is the legacy of Phil?
IS the tank intentional or not? Does it really matter?

Fans need to change attention from wining (not happening any time soon) to team building and players development.
This may need another fans... is UK crew capable of this switch?
