Pels just finished up a stretch where 8 of their last 9 games were on the road. We finished up 6-3 in those nine games.

If you want an excuse for the poor effort tonight, it's just that long road stretches are tough.

I’ve come to the conclusion we wont see Hawkins and Ryan play any meaningful minutes again this season. Willie wont play them against these teams, then forget it. Absolutely absurd lack of adjustments by Willie- they won but we have better offensive players sitting on the bench. For instance if you cant score- Willie solution is just play harder defense. I swear hes coaching like hes in the 80s. By the way what fricking happened to the 40 3s?? That shite disappeared too.


If griff isn’t going to fire Willie then he might as well trade Hawkins for someone that Willie will play.


Letting Hawkins’ rookie contract waste away on the bench is the worst option

About time they should just turn in their Batman & Robin outfits...and let somebody else wear them for a while.

Worst 4th q Zion has ever played for us


You seriously started wondering if he had a wager on the game. How did he only have three credited turnovers; it seemed like he had 5 or 6 just in the 4th quarter.

I wouldn’t even say it was a poor effort. They absolutely balled out for 3 quarters then shite the bed in the 4th. Sucks but it happens.

The day Willie Green gets fired will start back my passion for an actual championship with this team.

Got the dub. All that matters. Let’s flock WAS and then get some R&R.

What bothers me its just same shite by Willie every game. Very few games this season can I say Willie did a great job coaching. You want to see growth even from your head coach- who can honestly say man Willie has grown a lot as a coach in the past three years. Its the same mistakes- over and over again.

Coaching matters. Theres talent on this roster. Again a coach who rips into this team and gives us a strategical advantage will do wonders.

I think this roster has a ton of juice in it to squeeze. My majority issue has always been how they are used and the combinations in which they are used.

This team is 17-14 against teams .500 or better, but sure Willie a “terrible coach”. Yall are something else.

Hes 22. Willie is a grown arse man leading this group. Part of Zions immaturity can absolutely be attributed to Willie not getting through to him. The most talented players become the best versions of themselves with great coaches. Im not saying Zion will become what we want him to be- but Willie is not a coach who is going to push Zion to get there either.

How many times do we have to get reports of players and coaches being disappointed in Zion before we realize that he just doesn't give a shite?

Willie Green probably feels good about how the game ended. SOS. Dump it to BI and hope he makes a turnaround j at the shot clock buzzer. I thought Griff said he wasn’t pleased with the clutch situations. Same thing over and over and over. Adjust, man.

1. He's 23 and is closer to 24 than 22.

2. He's been in the NBA for five seasons. Stop acting like this is a youth thing.

Another coach may get more wins out of this roster, but will always be limited in how much we can win with the lack of a top tier star.
