Milwaukee Bucks at Charlotte Bobcats 1/6

[TheBeagle]

Thank heaven for my Tarheels! Don't get me wrong I'm still and about the Bobcats loss tonight, but beating Clemson the way we did with Wayne going off for 36 pts and the last second 3 definitely takes quite an edge off, so that I can go to bed, at least for tonight with a


Still though, why the hell are we getting no Jared? This is incomprehensible and there's no reason for it. Enough is enough, Vincent! Your latest lineup gimmick isn't working out at all! It's time to try again, or are you not learning from your mistakes...oh that's right, you don't make any; it's the players. What was I thinking?

there isnt a shred of doubt in my mind... Sam Vincent is the worst coach in the NBA. thats right... ill trade right now with the NY Knicks for Zeke.

not to mention after the game on the radio... sam blamed Gerald for the loss.

Gerald played an incredible game but had 8 turnovers... which is a lot (but at least 3 of them were blatant uncalled fouls.)

Point is.. our coach is blaming Gerald... when the team had a 9 point lead and lost because Vincent decides to play Jeff friggin McInnis for the last 5 minutes. and benched Nazr when he was clearly handling Bogut better than Okafor. In comes okafor and McInnis... there goes the lead.

This team doesnt blow... theres talent there. Sam Vincent blowsucks. i pretty much hate him at this point and dont even feel like im being over the top. hes killing something i love.

PS. My boy Ryan Hollins had his best game so far. not a lot of stats really... but definetly played a key role and played effective basketball... enroute to gaining a 9 point lead.


not to mention.. the sickest putback jam youll ever see a 7 footer do. crazy awesome.

Yeah it sounded great on the radio wish I could have seen it....

[Fromage]

just watched it on DVR. un f'n believable - yet somehow i was expecting exactly this kind of loss the whole way through.

yes - Hollins played well. I miss the energy he and Dude brought. vincent ruined that pretty effectively, didn't he?

Crash was great, despite the turnover(s). i hope he doesn't quit to escape the hell-hole that has become charlotte basketball.

sorry folks, but i gotta be honest here. i truly appreciate those of you willing to give vincent a chance, but he has taken a promising, tallented team of young players, and made them both individualy and collectively worse. no doubt about it, and think about the long-term consequences here. our players are individualy and collectively worse now than we were a year ago. it's unlike anything i've ever seen.

now - to the real point here. anyone who seriously thinks this guy should last through the rest of the year (the way things are going now) needs to look closely at this game. can anyone honestly suggest we have less talent than the Bucks? Redd was out for god's sake! NO WAY we should have lost to these guys - even without having to blow a lead like that.

sam may be the nicest, hardest working man on earth. but he is a BUST. total, unquestionable BUST. how much damage are we gonna do to our team, our limited fan base, etc. before this mistake is corrected?

god that was ridiculous. glad most of you in charlotte didn't have to see the game. you'd seriously consider ever watching another.

and yes - i'm a bobcats fan.

ctash/jrich - please dont give up on us, if you havn't already.

Guys, Sam did not blow this game for us. The players had TO's, took some back shots and just fell apart on Defense. Sam did not do anything much different than he had during the entire game when we were leading the second half.

Is he a great Coach? Not so far, I agree. But, we cannot pin every loss on him like that and ignore the fault of those out on the Court actually losing the games.

[Mustachio]

you can pin the loss on him too.
Gerald had turnovers... but he was getting banged on pretty hard. a good coach would have been all over the refs. not sam. Sam instead waits till the presser and throws Gerald under the bus. great coaching. not to mention his "big plan" as the clock ticked off... was to put Crash in an iso. which is fine if he hadnt run the same thing 100 times in the game. i agree that a coach can only set a plan and the players have to execute. its Sams overall plan that is terrible. and not to beat a dead horse. but playing 4 on 5... you will never win.

i like what fromage says. sums it up nicely.

If you look at the team and the individuals. they have all taken a step back. that is a coaching problem.

If your an NBA coach... and you have a 9 point lead on the Bucks without their top player and lose. you are without a doubt the worst coach ive ever seen.

[davcbow]

Where V went wrong; he waited until the game was tied before he ever called a timeout, by then they had the momentum and then the TO's and that was it....
Poor coaching plain and simple.....

I gotta disagree, man. The problem was the bad rotations. We needed the big lineup with OK and Nazr to combat two 7footers. Instead, we went small which left 6'7 crash on 7ft+ Yi. And McInnis sucks balls. When we went to our big lineup with Hollins we opened the game up because we could get more physical around the basket and utilize our better guard and forward players. Coach screwed up, especially in the 4th, when he kept trying to go back to our starting lineup with touche and OK in the middle (who got ate up by Bogut all night, BTW). Coach blew it.
