Why didn't we sign this bafoon to a 1 year deal? Why 2 years? Wish you could amnesty coaches!!![]()

This is the stupidest thread i've ever read. Some of you guys obviously don't even bother to listen to what everyone in the organization was saying going into this year. The front office wanted our young guys to play the majority of the minutes regardless of wins and losses. And Dunlap himself even said that he wanted to try different combinations and put these young guys in new situations to see how they react.
And we did bring some veteran guys in for locker room leadership, but Cho is no idiot. I would imagine that we are playing Gordon and Sessions a lot of minutes to showcase them in hopes of turning minimal investments into future assets for this rebuild. This is not about point differential or wins and losses. This is about trying everyone on the roster out in different ways and seeing what we have going forward.
And to whomever said that 80% of our roster needs to go: That may be true in a few years, but you don't know that right now and neither does anyone else. This team is so young that's impossible to gauge how all of them develop yet. I remember OKC looking like a hot pile of dog crap while their young guys were coming along.
Everyone please take a Prozac and read some articles about rebuilding teams. It's slow,painful,and boring at times, but you can't think the sky is falling every time some little thing that you don't like happens. Cho and Dunlap were both brought in for specific reasons. Let them do their jobs and chill!

So by that logic i guess you would've fired Scott Brooks after half a season. Cause OKC looked lost for the first couple of years that he was there. Patience young grasshopper! lol. Did it ever actually occur to anyone that Mike Dunlap is a rookie too? Other coaches study his tenancies and game plan against him too. Let the man loose his baby teeth and grow a little bit. Obviously the players think he knows what he's doing and respect him. The improvement in Kemba,Mullens,Biz,and Hendo all expanding their games this year and busting their ass for this guy should tell you that. I might not know much in this world,but i do know that 20 yr. old multimillionaires don't run through walls for someone they don't respect. I bet if we ever get an all-star center that Dunlap will become a "smart" coach really quick!

Here's the website I use where you can create your own captioned images: http://wigflip.com/roflbot/
Just use a pic on your computer, or you can use a link for any image online, and it allows you to add your own captions. Then they have a link you click on where it will host the image.
I also bought an image editor called Pixelmator at the apple app store for my very amateur photoshopping, if you have a mac. I'm sure there are other cheap editors for PC's you could download. I found ts great for filling the time while suffering through another blowout - a lot more entertaining.

Showing patience isn't always a virtue. We didn't show any patience with Sam Vincent and everyone was thrilled. Different circumstances but similar results.
I'm going to be watching to see if the team starts tuning him out. He talks about them like they are little kids, the intense practices and a whole lot of losing could make for a mini-revolt. I hope the players take it all in stride but at some point pride will kick in.
We'll see.
@QC:
Nice, I'll check it out. I was more curious about the picture of the man's face embedded on a knee.

The players didn't seem to like Vincent from day one. And not only did they not like him,but they didn't think he had any idea what he was doing. I've heard nothing but positives about Dunlap. I totally get the point that you're making,i just think it's a totally different situation.
