The only intrigue remaining is what Thomas will say or do next.

“I admire the players’ commitment and their courage to stick in and keep competing,” he said Saturday, “because they haven’t given up yet.”

On Sunday, Thomas gave them their third day off in a week.

I knew this team couldn't look this bad without putting forth an amazing amount of effort! These guys have been working real hard, Zeke. Good call.

They really do their best.
18 games... it is really amazing this group was able to make it.
I am pretty sure they can repeat it another 4-6 years no matter what.

They gave up during the summer when they all came into camp fat and stupid.

Dedicated players come into camp in shape and ready to go.

Useless gutless heartless fatasses come into camp fatter than hell and rusty as can be intent on using camp to lose weight.........and players and teams that do this lose a lot of games as we have done so.

IOW, the players are so disinterested in what Isiah has to say it's not worth his trouble to show up.

I have trouble even joking about this stuff anymore. I have no love, no hope, only hate.

I won't root for this collection of guys even if they happen to win. They don't fit my standards and principles.

I hear that man, they are the hardest team to root for in my lifetime (32 years)

Does Isiah even realize that this makes him look even worse? If this is what they can accomplish when they're committed and competing then what will they look like when they do give up?

And I love how Isiah threw in "yet", as if he knows they will give up at some point.

Their effort peaked during the 7 game losing streak, where Isiah thought their performance "improved."

When a 7 game losing streak is the best your team has to offer it's a bad sign.

I miss the LB 6gm win streak days. I pine for it.


We don't have winning streaks anymore we have 4,5,6,7,8gm sinning streaks. They Blaspheme the game of basketball every time they step on the court.

The players gave up after Isiah gave up on them. Remember the vote and that is the beginning of the end. The players don't respect Isiah. The players are playing harder because Kiki is on the verizon and they want to show what they can do.

After its all said and done there are Isiah players on the team who are heartless and gutless just like Isiah.
