What is the significance of Rudy punching himself in the nuts six times while celebrating JC's basket? I mean I've heard of self-flagelation for JC, but he's doing it for the wrong JC. View attachment 11494

I think you are joking but in case you are serious he was simulating dribbling a basketball through the legs.

Our head to heads against Phoenix and GSW will determine a lot. However, I believe they’ll be the kind of games we get destroyed (like how we were swept by Phoenix last year) and certain influencers will talk like the regular season bad showings are meaningless in predicting potential playoff matchup.

I think those were close games but I could be wrong. I know one of those games was overtime which I wouldn't log into the destroyed category.

I mean basically Quin sucks, our jerseys suck, our announcers suck, our bench sucks, our starters suck, our defense is simply horrid, our offense is gimmicky, our front office sucks, we suck worse than Indiana Orlando New Orleans and any other team we have lost to, the suns and warriors have already won the championship this season (they are co champs) and we have no chance against them. Might as well wave the white flag and sell the team to another city so we aren't force to watch this crap organization any more.

Beginning to think a Quin-coached team can't get there.

Just beginning? I have to fight with myself all the time around this issue. I mean I want to believe, I really do. He doesn’t have the recent history, he doesn’t have the pedigree and yet we did have the best regular season record in the entire NBA last season.

As Str8line responded, it’s really the scar tissue from playoff collapses that is the biggest buzz kill. If it were my team, I think he would have been gone a long time ago but it’s not so I have to do my best to stay positive. The way I do that is by looking at the Bucks model. Coach Bud hadn’t really won anything before either. That and the fact that Snyder was his assistant in Atlanta. Maybe we’re next to get the monkey off our backs. Well that’s what I keep telling myself anyway.

You need to put some people on your ignore list. There are better ways to read this website. Because there should be space to legitimately critique what’s happening without being lumped in with the synopsis you just gave.

But whatever. Hard to see why you keep coming back if this is how you’re doing it.

For example, Boler legit sucks. Super legit.

No doubt. Which is why my posting is at an all time low. To be fair I think its a societal problem. Positivity is on a huge decline and negativity is increasing rapidly.

People have really poor digital habits. They need their capital-E Entertainment, and they need to feel recognized, and they need this now.

Quite frankly it's been this way, and getting worse year by year, since the advent of social media and smart phones. Instant recognition and willing mobs to get mad with us about everything. It's destroying the social fabric of the country tbh.

It took Doc Rivers 9 years of coaching to win a ring, Carlisle 10 years, larry brown 16 years(though he did win NCAA with Kansas in 82) and Bud like you mentioned. That are coaches like Nurse or Spoelstra who won it all within their first couple of years, but the roster was already set in strong position for them to make a run. Rudy was still in his second year after spending his rookie year in the G league when Quin took over, so we really didn't start contending till three or four seasons ago.

Thanks Jom I needed that! Gotta stay positive!

Was hoping there would be some info on the SAS fan and Clarkson. Quin briefly mentioned when asked in his post game and there are a few things this morning basically that he enjoys interacting with the fans but this one fan took it to far and crossed the line and was thrown out of the game.
