Thanks Kek, likewise. I'm always lurking but it's hard to post when this is what we have to watch.

Snatching another defeat from the jaws of victory.

What actually will happen

1. Rubio will continue to play huge minutes

2. Jmac leaves in FA because of opportunities

3. His mom will give him an extention

Another majestic choke job.

Every game I get the, how is Rubio going to fuck this up feeling in the fourth. Then it happens.

I think I'm going to break my computer over the coffee table.

Who put Rubio in the game?

LOL

His job is putting his players in best position to succeed. He continually doesn't do this at end of games. So yes it's on Ricky for playing bad but also he was put into that position by his coach.

Another moral victory - but not really. This was yet another game the Wolves should have won in an otherwise miserable season. It seems clear that Ryan won't go until Rosas goes and I think we're a long way from moving on from Rosas. And who knows who Glen would hire to replace Rosas. This team's personnel is better than the team's record. So yes, coaching matters. And we saw again tonight that the Wolves head coach is in way over his head.

For the record, yes, Rubio was brutal, but he shouldn't have been checked into the game down the final stretch. It was clear he didn't have it tonight and McLaughlin did. Once again Saunders fails to recognize what's so obvious to many.

Good points Lip, but come on we can't be spotting teams 20 points at the beginning of the game.
