Sounds like Rambis will tighten the rotation, at least. That could be good.

Oh crap - this game is on TNT?

That's gonna be interesting, announcer-wise. It'll be interesting to see how they react to the firing.

edit: wait, it looks like they moved the Spurs / Heat to TNT. I bet Ernie, Kenny and Charles will stay have something to say about the Fisher firing tonight though.

Dude chose to stay to stay with the same starting 5. We won't be a relevant club until Jose is out of the starting LU
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

I expected this for the 1st game. I think he'd at least want to get some practice time and also see what happens with the Trade Deadline, before he makes any starting lineup changes. Now the rotation may be different tho.

I'm not trying to be CURT, but KURT should take a stand by immediately changing the starting lineup, i.e. Jose out and either Gallo or Jerian in. This will show he means business and things will be changing right away in the Rambis Regime. Sorry if I'm RAMBLING about RAMBIS but he should pull a RAMBO because they drew first blood. Okay. I'm done.

My thoughts exactly, but I remain open minded. As long As Jose is aggressive as the last game, I will be happy

Just the very fact that right away he addresses the rotations and needing to cut down the number of players used, shows he saw things many of us were seeing in holes in Fisher's plans. Most good teams won't play more than 9 guys in a typical close game. We were using 11 guys on a regular basis, save for the 2 weeks where Fish found a great rotation and stuck to it.

True...but I still think there is no way Jose should play in crunch time (last 5 minutes) because he's such a defensive liability. Kurt said his first order of business was to improve the defense and this one move is super critical. I think he sees this, whereas Fish was blind to it. We'll see.

Yeah. It's proven that if you play more than 9 players and give them sporadic minutes like Fish was doing, they don't perform well and can't get into any type of rhythm. This was evidenced in the way he was using KOQ, Seraphin, Lou, Sasha and even Jerian. He never allowed them to get into rhythm. Good sign.

Some around here (fisher lovers) will disagree with that logic

Other than the Jose situation, another change I want to see is for rambis to not ever play the second unit without at least two of the starters. Our former idiot if a coach would go for long stretches with that unit which made no sense what so ever

What an irony; if I remember correctly, the one game rambis replaced fisher was versus the Wizards
