These last two games were so bad i simply don't have time to watch anymore. Even beyond fandom they were just ugly and hard to watch.

We need a new coaching staff. Id be cool if we fire Mosely now and see if the interim can do anything like what happened with the Kings this year and look for an alpha coach in the off season like Dan Hurly.

Dan Hurley allegedly turned down a $70m contract to coach the Lakers last summer. He's not leaving UCONN.

There shouldn’t be any excuses.. The Raptors coach did everything possible to loose that game. It was kinda hilarious how he sat all his starters down the road. Two Way players and bench players were beating us. That’s embarrassing and pathetic at the same time. 

Suggs being out can’t be an excuse for this. Our main core is intact and we should win games like that regardless. 
 

Coaching staff is beginning to be on the hot seat for me now. I still want Mosley to succeed but it seems like the players aren’t reacting to anything he’s doing right now. I’m not sure if an assistant coach can safe Mosley. Call Mike Brown already.

To be fair, in that 4th quarter, the Toronto shotmaking was ridiculous. Sometimes you get unlucky, and the luck factor combined with the slump that we’re on has us all feeling defeated. Like I mentioned yesterday, I think the move at coach is Nick Nurse if Philly makes him a fall guy for this year.

Maybe we played great defense and were just unlucky with their shotmaking in the 4th, but what about the third, where they took an 8 point lead?   From my standpoint, we shouldn’t have been in a position where the game hinged on a shot or two at the end, because as we saw, anything can happen when you’re in that situation.

The #NBA L2M report from #Magic-Raptors found two incorrect non-calls:

— An offensive foul should have been called on Orlando Robinson before Ja'Kobe Walter’s game-winner.
— Robinson committed a loose ball foul on Wendell Carter Jr. on the in-bounds pass with 0.5 seconds left.

I actually think it should have been a dead-ball foul, as it was prior to the ball being touched, but either way Dell should have been on the line.

2 shots and our ball.. we win the game.. minimum OT. Unless Dell misses 2 at the line.. 

Still a Loss.. a very poor 1 again.

Onwards and upwards I guess

IMO Suggs and Mo are 2 of our 4 best players. At one time all 4 of them were out. Now we have half of our best 4 players.

They played to tank, we were at home playing for... everything after already losing one bad game with them a couple days before. There's not a single reason in the world to have a close game and not put them away by 10 or 20 before the last minutes. Referee's problem solved.

That might excuse Mose to a degree, but it doesn’t excuse Weltman. Both guys were seriously hurt going into the trade deadline.
