I wish I had access to more games, but I am impressed with the job Willie has done over the past month.

I’d love to see this roster continue to develop some positive momentum.

Well, the good news is that our next game is against one of the league's worst teams, Orlando, and they will be coming off a back-to-back, and they currently have four players out with COVID.

So, we should win that game.

I’m not disagreeing, but I’m curious what Willie has done to impress? Seriously just asking because I don’t know.

We not working with a whole lot here, when your forced to play Tomas it’s hard to win. Players like Murphy really aren’t ready to be out there. Herb is starting on this team and he’s a 2nd round pick, Herb is great now but he’s had a few growing pains throughout the season as well. We a young team with a young head coach who to me is growing also. Oh and we missing our superstar.

He managed to keep a 3-16 from completing collapsing and go 8-5 in their last 13 games. Most teams give up with that kind of start.

And the players love him and play hard for the entire game.

Put some respect on his name.

From now on he needs to be referred to as "37% true shooting Tomas".

He's so bad. It is really hard to be that bad.

I know a lot of us have never watched him play before when he was a Bull but i’d like to know how he ever got into the league. I’ve never seen a player play the way he does, it’s bad really bad

He was actually a very good off the bench rotation player for Washington and Chicago, don't know what happened to his shot this year, maybe his confidence is shot or something.

Moving Naw to the bench
Moving Herb to the starting lineup
Moving Josh to the starting lineup
Moving Kira into the rotation
Moving Jaxon completely out of the rotation

These are the type of things that seem easy for us fans to yell and want, but those were not easy coaching decisions and all have paid major benefits. And there have been smaller tweaks like getting BI to alter his game and move the ball more, and then what I consider bigger things like getting the team to play hard on a nightly basis. All I have ever wanted from the Pels is a group of guys that tried hard. And I feel Willie has finally provided that.

That’s what i had remembered too, he was at least serviceable not anymore though. I’d rather Jose out there at this point.

Let’s keep it going. Love seeing the chemistry build between the young guards.

Who knows. I felt like the season was over three weeks ago, now I am holding out hope.

This!

As a rookie head coach he has gotten buy-in. That’s what neither of his last two predecessors had.

With no Valanciunas or NAW, and with the game being in OKC, we should be underdogs against the Thunder today.

We'll likely be favored on Tuesday against the Cavs, though, as they currently have 8 players in COVID protocol (though some players could clear protocol before then).

Then, we get three days off before Bucks, Suns, Jazz, and Warriors---just about as tough a four-game schedule as you could have.

Overall, I'd bet on us going 2-4 in our next six games.
After that, we get Raptors, Wolves, Clippers---a stretch of three winnable games.
