Yeah. It's a weird thing to say.
I guess Brett Brown and Nick Nurse should be fired too, they had also fallen victim to the Nets during their win streak. And I'm not even a Luke Walton fan! lol.
The Nets are pretty good, they are just inconsistent. Prior to their 5 game streak, they had lost 8. |

| do we have any semblance of a half court offense yet after 3 years? Or will it just be transition ball while Luke is here? |

It's more of a problem, IMO, that he seems only interested in hiring his buddies. You want to build a world-class staff that includes a couple buddies to help build their coaching path? Go for it. |

Luke Walton said he continues to communicate with Julius Randle, exchanging texts every so often (Lakers vs Pelicans tomorrow): “Very happy for him. He’s having a lot of success. It’s good to see.” Walton added he also keeps in touch with guys like Russell, Clarkson, Nance, etc. |
Aw, that's so cute.  |

You know those inspirational talkers they have come in and talk to our players... I nominate Carlos Santana as the next speaker. The man talks about being able to perform with joy in front of intimidating audiences.

Luke needs to instill some kind of late game offensive sets. I love LeBron but the last 3 mins of the game playing LeBron iso was bad. Everyone was just standing in their spots, no movement no cutting. LeBron ended up going 1-5. This can’t be happening every close game Luke.

Ingram played all of his 33 mins minutes alongside LeBron (the opposite of staggering)
OffRtg: 107.7
DefRtg: 88.3
NetRtg: +19.4
Props to Luke for trying to make it work.

Some of his best lineup management of the season. Big kudos.

| If Luke isn’t developing LeBron’s clutch skills, he should do more in the 4Q, especially final plays. We have to run some sets to LeBron and other players too. Currently, Luke let’s LeBron to solve all offensive problems in final minutes for him |

Anybody who has followed Lebron's career knows this is the same story every year. When are we going to realize that it does not matter who his coach is. Lebron "is" the coach on every team he has been on. When someone tries to coach him they get fired. This is not a Luke problem imo. Not really a problem at all it will always be this way with Lebron James. I don't care if you pull Phil out of retirement, Lebron is going to do what he wants and thinks is right. I'm fine with that. |

Name one coach who coached Lebron that did something different then that? |

| I think Luke hired his buddies so he wouldn't get questioned from the inside off his staff. Maybe a good move to establish yourself in the beginning - but not so easy to get out of now and get real knowledge and skill into your coaching staff. |

Why is Kuz guarding Marc?
Why is Rondo in the game when he's useless on both ends tonight?
Why is Josh Hart in the game?
Every possible bad move you can make, he's making it. |

I imagine after we get beat down hard by GS on national television on Christmas Day is Magic’s ultimate chance to finally kick Luke to the curb.

The problem is that Luke hired all his buddies so we can’t even promote anyone on his staff as interim. It’s a bunch of Luke’s so it’s pointless. I can’t stand this loser. |
