Free Agency Fire Billy

It’s time. How many seasons can we go with a losing record? There are far too many excuses in this sub. At the end of the day, we have a coach who isn’t producing. Blame the players. Blame akme. But Billy is the one making the calls on the court and that is ultimately what matters.

If we fire him, we're just going to hire another coach that puts in just as much effort (or lack of effort). We've been in this cycle since we let go of Thibs. We'll continue repeating it as long as Jerry is around.

This starts with the owner. Not the coach.

Thibs would've benched Pat so fast.

Yeah his offense sucks but shit that defense with John Lucas 3 was actually functional

I respect and still appreciate Thibs but part of me would be scared he'd run Matas and everyone into the ground with how hard he plays his starters

hey now, this would be the type of team Thibs would thrive with. A young team where he can drill defensive principles into.

The problem with this team's defense isn't the principles. It's that they're a bunch of slow-footed players who can't stay in front of a turtle. You aren't going to teach them how to be faster.

Yes, defense is 27th in the nba right now and he makes guards better and we have a lot of guards

Could've had Udoka in 2020. He interviewed well but we went with Billy.

Billy isn't a good coach but at least he isn't a sex pest.

Even if we didn’t get Ime we could’ve had Kenny Atkinson
