Doesnt matter who is coaching, there is no excuse to not put forth effort on the floor. Especially when they are getting paid the amounts of money that they collect. The Pistons could be a decent team but they have given up and you can tell when you watch them. They have solid players all over that roster, but thats no good if you cant be bothered to play.
The Suns are another example of this, you cant tell me a team of Nash, Richardson, Hill Amare (before the injury) and Shaq cant at least be competitive. Thats a damn good starting 5 if you ask me, but they only wanted to play one end of the court.
In the end the coaches are the ones that take the fall but i think the players need to be held more accountable.

I am waiting for the Detroit owner to speak. Dumars hasn't done well. They are an aging club. Like I said, Wallace is old, Prince doesn't play the excellent defense anymore. Iverson, well not even goin there. Stuckey and Affalo's growth was stunted when they signed ole Allen. Bless his heart, tough guy McDyess can still hit a jumper, but its evident his gritty defense is no more
Kool, Phoenix had Amar e/Shaq/Nash and the Lakers beat emwoot
Ur points are always exceptional
The players should be more accountable, we all know the coaches get fired
Nate had 41
A pitiful performance by Orlando and a solid one by Chicago.
Nothing else to say really.
It's games like these that make me think "Why do I root for this team?". It would be nice to be a fan of a team that wins games, let alone championships. And while they've a winning record you wouldn't know it by the way they play sometimes.
They always have star players that other teams would love to have. e.g. Shaq, Penny, T-Mac and Dwight but, they can't make the formula work. It's always something; Injuries, losing Shaq, poor coaching, sh!tty player mentalities. And when it's not that, even with a decent coach or "supporting cast" they still fail (F'kin Detroit). I swear, this franchise gives me white hairs.
Must be nice to be a Laker or Celtic fan...
(btw, don't console or rationalize with me, I know I'm overreacting. I'm just venting my frustrations.) 😠 😄
A Championship is the not too distant future for the Magic. Knock on wood.
Magic hold off the Knicks and get the W.
Orlando had a strong lead of up to 20+ points that got whittled down to two point possession in the fourth.
Even though the Knicks have been electrifying in their last few games by Nate's performances of late, this game shouldn't have gotten that close. Can't say as I'm all that pleased with the victory.
Still, a win's a win.
