He still is not comfortable going against smaller and quicker pgs. We need to really get out of this ISO offense and the Randle going full speed down the lane offense. That cannot be the best we can do. Randle was not as bad today but he killed ball movement and only had 1 assist.

Frank has trouble guarding PGs like Sexton because they make defenders have to move laterally to stay in front of them. To be fair, PGs that fast can do it to almost anyone. Thats when you need the PG to be able to do some scoring of his own to keep pace. Frank has yet to show an ability to do that night in and out. Thats starting PG stuff.

Pretty much...After the game he had against Dallas offensive end, I was hoping he would build on it and be even more aggressive with the ball. Instead, he reverted back to being passive. On a couple of occasions, he gave up the ball to Randle before he even crossed half court....Would have liked to see him punish those smaller guards.

I'm glad someone notice who was coaching tonight .. Morris & Randle's ISO ball-hogging the ball throughout every offensive-possession in the game, I don't recall either screening or picking for any of their teammates. Our clueless head-coach #1 plan should have been letting our 6.7 tandem guards Frank & RJ go one on one against Cavs small guards Sexton & Garland. Who coach this game? Fiz? Randle? Morris?

So, are we talking about the elephant in the room... I mean, the front office in the press room?

This might seem rare and pointless as there is no quick fix in sight, but then trying to keep communication with fans through media gets some points for effort. Mostly should serve as a sign Fiz IS in the hot seat and if they are willing to come out and talk themselves after 10 games, it shouldn’t take long for them to act of things continue. The seed of disappointment has been planted for the fans and the media to see.

This team gets to 4-16 with many blowouts in the process, Fiz is gone.

Fizdale needs to get rid of that set the offense going east and west crap. He hinders the offense by making his PGs, not just Frank, to bring the ball up then pass to the wing and set a down screen. Every ****ing time. Then Randle or Morris takes turn initiating the offense going ISO. This is really stupid.

I agree let the guards handle the ball. Randle and Morris shold be getting into a position down low. In the post both can score.

Re: the gamethread title, turns out it's Cleveland who did the storming, and we're the ones with no king (star player/good coach/FO/owner). We're aimless out there.
The new new core: Randle, RJ, IQ. Maybe Mitch. Future pick. Future trade. Future FA.

Exactly. I think that’s why Frank went back to defeating last night. Hell I saw Randle bring the ball up more than our point guard lol. That’s a coaching thing. I think Fizdale has good qualities and players usually play hard for him but he may simply not be a head coach
