Another 15-game losing streak to start the season and we won’t even have Daniel Theis (or Christian Wood or John Wall) to blame.
Will be a great test and we want to lose anyway so might as well start off slow and pick up some wins in December than other way around.
Do we have an official escape goat yet? Silas will be the go-to ("omg y didn't he call timeout and make adjustments!!?!?!!!??") but of the players, I don't know who the prime candidate will be.
Jae’Sean Tate is the new scapegoat. (And to a lesser degree, Eric Gordon). CF was/is ready to move on from both. Unfortunately for them, one of them will be starting. Players only (because you’re right, Silas will be the main target) 1. Jae’Sean Tate 2. Eric Gordon 3a. Garrison Mathews (There will be “I have grown to hate” thread on one of these 3.) 3b. Josh Christopher 3c. Kevin Porter Jr. 6. Jabari Smith (you already know it’s coming…“not that good”, “chose the wrong guy”, will make proclamations about his career (ie. “Don’t see him becoming more than a 3&D”, “just a role player, we chose a role player at 3”, blahblahblah) 7. Jalen Green 8. Usman Garuba 9. Alperen Sengun 10. David Nwaba 11. Tari Eason 12a. Daishen Nix 12b. TyTy Washington 14a. Bruno Fernando 14b. Willie Cauley-Stein 16. K.J. Martin 17. Sterling Brown 18. Trey Burke 19. Marquese Chriss 20. Trevor Hudgins 21. Boban Marjanovic
Came here looking for this, Absolute cinematic masterpiece, it really deserves its own thread. How they have OG Coach Lucas not able to use the phone and show his neck the whole time is brilliant, Paulo as Jabari's wall paper is excellent as well.
It's a very common phrase. It's even defined on this website: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Escape Goat
This may be a good thing? Maybe. Usually you wait a few days before you start goofing around on a new job, if you are all brand new the road antics may not begin until later in the season once the rookies feel like they have earned a little bit of room for error. I still think they are around 23 wins total.
Lol every schedule looks aweful when your the worse team in the league .. This should push the growing pains and tank comments to new heights, and fire Silas threads will be plentiful..
