Well 🫵🏽 did name him ROTY!

AD made a good point on the broadcast that Fears was effective against Dort because he could use his speed to ensure Dort didn't have a chance to be physical. Can't grab and push what you can't catch.

100%

Everyone involved just comes off lame as hell.

If you're starting Fears at PG he should be initiating the offense more than 1/3 of possessions. Stop running the damn weave to get us a Herb-Looney PnR with no one moving off the ball.

Maybe it's a roster issue, but this offense ends up featuring a whole lot of dribbling from guys should not be handling the ball.

Every time an opposing coach calls TO when the Pels get the tiniest bit of momentum, I think "that must be so nice."

You can tell Willie has lost the plot, because his job is on the line and we're still seeing Hawkins minutes.

When the other team gets wide open 3s on one pass, I think it's time to reconsider the zone.

For the love of God why is Queen not in yet?

Just run Trey through a thousand screens. Stop letting him initiate.

This is insane. Stop playing Looney.

It is honestly impressive that you've managed the worst (best) sandwich joke I've seen today given the sheer volume of them.

The blocks where he appears to be in bad position but still gets his hands on the ball reminds me of Boogie.

Best player involved in that trade.

Hawkins has looked like an NBA player for the first time this season from the second I posted this. You're welcome.

I think Peavy is already better than Hawkins.

We need to run 7 more PnRs with him and Looney without scoring just to make sure.

Please remove all “Trey initiates offense from top of key” plays

Stop running the damn offense through Trey.

Can't rebuild something if you don't destroy it first.

The atmosphere:

That was my first reaction. No chance he gets canned now.

Yeah I am focusing on the latter with this move. Is Borrego any better than Willie? Maybe. Is he worse than the current situation? Almost certainly not. When it comes to a long term hire, I certainly don't love Dumars making the decision, but that's where we are.

I understand the reasoning. I'm just saying even with all that, I still trust David Griffin to run an NBA franchise more than I trust Gayle and Co. to hire a competent replacement.

I was always against firing Griff (despite the valid reasons you laid out) because we knew who was hiring his replacement.

I didn't think firing Griffin was the right move precisely because of who would hire his replacement. I still think firing Willie helps more than hurts, though you're right about it not meaning a whole lot. Maybe losing closer games in the short run, which I'd take at this point.

Part of the big jobs with these sports franchises is to convince literally the richest people in the world that they do not know better than everyone else. In most cases you can only do that for so long. The good owners recognize they are not experts in the field. The bad ones do not.

My best guesses: No; Not without permission; Absolutelyfuckingnot

If yesterday's blowout did not occur in the middle of a Saints game, would Willie Green have been fired this morning? Does Joe Dumars actually have the authority to fire him? Does the Benson crew give a shit about the opinions of anyone who is not a multimillionaire?
