yet coach keeps on trotting out the same lineup each game. why not give Kira some playing time tonight? Billy always plays well against Denver but he barely played. Seems like Willie is just hoping we'll figure something out and suddenly start winning games. He's getting exposed.

Willie isn’t a good coach

100% agree, Willie deserves way more criticism. These lineups are garbage. The starting Center almost never finishes the game even when he is playing well. Graham is useless 75%+ of the time yet keeps getting time over Kira who has shown promise. I don't think I've ever been so frustrated with this franchise, dating back to the Charlotte days.

Kira had 15 points in his last game.

His game previous to that, he had 12 points (in 6 minutes).

C'mon Willie, the lights are on but nobody's home.

The rotations weren’t the problem tonight

We were up 12 halfway through the 2nd Q w possession of the ball on an easy fast break

Brandon soft ball pitched a pass into the 35 th row instead of 10 feet in front of him to a wide open Herb Jones

This play started a stretch of 5-6 hilariously bad Shaqtin a Fool minutes from Ingram and we lost our entire lead in 2 minutes essentially.

That was the game and it wasn’t all that unpredictable tbh.

Team is believing they are close to turning the corner . You can see it and hear is in Larry and Herbs post game presser. Positive outlook from players and coaches .

To me that is a good sign. There was a lot of good in last nights game to build on. More than we’ve seen in quite some time .

Turning a corner doesn’t guarantee wins in a tough stretch though , and we desperately need a W.

The fact that this has more upvotes than down tells me that it's time for me to check out for a while. Are we really that damn soft that we are going to call for Willie Green to get fired after a losing streak? This fan base needs to toughen up.

Yeah, Kira will turn this season around. lets just start him and expect him to replace the production of the all NBA player on our team and the other all-star that haven't been playing in those 17 games.

The point is, we've gone 3-14 in our past 17 and yet we learned absolutely nothing about Kira.

We could have given Kira minutes in the rotation, gained a lot more knowledge about how good he is and can be while still going 3-14.

pretty sure they've learned enough in the last 2.5 years to know what they have in him, same with Jaxson. He's been healthy enough to dress out for 33 games this year. He's got 19 DNP-Coaches decision, 7 inactives, and has played in 7 games with 2 of them being 2 minutes in a blowout. and i would agree he's looked good in the limited time he's played.

Is Kira a starter for this team in the future? No.
Is Kira a pivotal role player for this team in the future? don't know, but unlikely b/c if they thought he could be he'd be playing more, especially with all the injuries we've had. He's been passed up and is now the 3rd string PG, and not a top 10 rotation guy, and if DG and Jax are traded for better players, then he's not even top 12, which he pretty much already isn't top 12 rotation guy with DG and Jax.
There's no reason to have a young player making $5M/yr who you can't give minutes too, and had the opportunity to get minutes but simply wasn't good enough.

What a terrible take that absolutely nobody made. Way to completely miss the point and instead spit out this rhetoric

Y’all worried about the 13th guy on the team getting minutes.
The coaches are trying to win games, and he’s not good enough in their eyes to do that. If he was, he’d be playing more.
