Yes it is. The culture of the team has been shot to hell. We have players that are used to losing. Losing is a sickness, and now the intensity has dramatically dropped off... We are getting our asses kicked, and our bench is laughing it up. Seems strange to me that you would defend that. I can't debate that kind of logic, that kind of person. Good day.

Players dont play to lose. I dont ever go to the gym saying I dont feel like winning today. do you know how to help achieve getting focus or maturity? You play them! I dont expect a mircale, I expect a plan. WTF HAVE WE BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE SEASON? We! I mean we as a team have no focus. you say the players dont? The team doesnt! How do you expect players to have focus when the team as a whole and management doesnt? The retooling didnt work last year but were still doing it. Point set, you dont have a roll call full of "cheap roll players" as you put it, and hope something happens to them from 10 minutes a game.
I've been ready to trade Hill and Budinger all season long, they won't do **** in the NBA. I would trade both for a first rounnd pick, I'm just sick of their smug attitude. I remember seeing Hill in the Thunder game laughing that he got his ass handed to him by Ibaka.

Did they? I just noticed the scrubs wetting their pants and laughing it off like Billy Madison... It's about playing to win. ANYONE can just play... PLAY TO WIN! <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aUggMX8AZzE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This reminds me of people busting on Derek Anderson for getting caught laughing on the bench in a losing effort in Arizona. It was dumb then, and it is dumb now.
Seems like you had unrealistic expectations for this team and that is the impetus for this idiotic thread. Next time this happens, please don't start a thread.
What else can they do with the short time they are given? Im sorry but the bench didnt start losing, they just continued the losing. Even hayes is having a hard time. yeah the bench is losing it up harder but they are not the only frustrated players mind you. brooks is the only one showing it, the others want more PT and something that the bench cannot control needs to be done. shorten up the damn rotation, hmmmm, starts with a t!
They were talking and laughing with their former college head coach, don't see what the big deal is. No one is "on" for the entire 2 hours of a regular season game.
really? so you want to get rid of one of the players that actually works hard every night? I guess Scola should go to?
Is playing hard unrealistic? To folks infected by the sickness of losing, perhaps. Losing is a sickness, that has slowly sunk into our fanbase. We are used to losing, and we don't care If players are engaged on the bench, do we? It isn't about the laughing, it's about being engaged when you just got your ass kicked. You would think someone that just got rape pounded would be pissed at themselves for being so soft, and unprepared. Not the case with our bench. It has become habit, in fact.
