You can still set screens, run plays and have a gameplan. They have had practices and days off too. Again no expects them to win- but even healthy what strategy do you see from Willie? What is our offensive identity when healthy? What has our identity been the past 2 years? There is just none whether we have all stars or gleague guys.

Hard to get guys to play together when you don’t have an offensive identity and just go out there and play

They have had multiple stars out at the same time and had to onboard quite a few bench players. Yet they run the GSW Offensive sets like they have been part of the org for 20 years.

Stop with the loser mindset and giving these bums excuses.

Trey Jemison is getting abused all game but still getting minutes. Why not play Karlo or eveb Theis over him? Try something different- wont hurt. Explain whats the reason behind this other than just bad coaching?

Willie would rather watch Jemison get abused than play Karlo. His commitment to certain players, even when failing, should be enough to get him canned. But not with the pelicans, he gets a secret extension

I hate his weird favoritism on players. Its nonsensical by any means. He cant maximize his roster because of this as well. Injuries or not, we see Willie do this every fricking year.

it's because Willie is a nice guy but a shitty coach.
With all our players it would be somewhat different but still poorly coached.

Now he’ll sit Jemisin and put JRE at center. He must REALLY HATE Karlo. I mean the guy was playing really well in the gleague. Would it really hurt to play him?

Makes no sense not to give Karlo some run. And why in the hell is BI still in?

This is why I say, put injuries aside, Willie is just a BAD COACH.

Unfortunately, the optics of firing him anytime soon will look awful because of the injuries. But not to people who have watched the last few years. He brings nothing to the table.

Why can’t we fire Willie tonight? There’s no upside with him as coach

6 points in the first 4 minutes of the 4th off 2 made baskets. So we can add that to:
8 points in the first 6 minutes of Q1
3 points in the first 4 minutes of Q2 and Q3.

These quarter starts are god awful.

Honestly think the main reason they got Dejounte is for him to create plays and advantages and to hide Willie’s shite coaching. That all went to hell when Dejounte got hurt and Willie keeps getting exposed.

So Trey couldn’t play the last back to back because he was coming back from the injury. But with a game tomorrow, he’s still out there down 30+. Makes me think they already have decided he won’t play tomorrow.

Yeah hes out tomorrow. He’ll be on minutes restriction for the next month. Thats what people don’t get- when all these players return they will all be on minutes restriction. Good luck trying to win when most the guys can’t play regular minutes.

They have not have 4 starters out with 2 major bench players. Just stop. You're making a bullshite comparison.

If GS loses all of their pgs along with their best defensive players and three of their 4 major shot creators and they look good still please fire away on the Pels being inept.

Such an awful comparison from you.

Then Griff needs to be fired. If you need a PG to cover for your shite coach then get a new coach and then get a PG
