    Let me get this straight. We (as a forum) have been crying about JOB's coaching all season, and suddenly the talent is the problem??? Then why are crying about JOB coaching next season's team? If the talent was the problem, then JOB's coaching and our griping last season was irrelevant.
    Oversimplify much?

    We probably had a 35, 36 win roster. IF JO'B got the most he could out of Rush, Hibbert, Price, Tyler and Danny. But that's still not a great lineup.

    He milked 32 wins out of them, with overreliance on Ford, Murphy, Jones, perhaps Dunleavy. Not good.

    Popovich, Brown, Skiles, Sloan or Scott might have made it to 37, 38 wins. The coach was bad, and the roster was bad, and the coach and the roster were bad for each other.

    Our young players have developed some. Not enough yet. Our vets are about as unnattractive of a collection of players as I can imagine -- especially when you consider that they're all good citizens (so you can't hold that against them) but just lousy basketball players by NBA, playoff-caliber standards.

    JO'B deserves a lot of criticism, but upgrading the coach would not be enough to make this roster a playoff-caliber team. Even in the East. And if they got lucky, they'd probably also set a new record for the ugliest four-game sweep in the history of the first round.
    Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
    Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
    Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
    Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
    And life itself, rushing over me
    Life itself, the wind in black elms,
    Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

        9 years in a call center will do that to you .

        Now, I never said that they would dominate in the playoffs.


        Remember when we could have gotten 1-2 solid players and a possible Top 3 draft pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by trading away Paul George?
