    About time...that team has talent just needs leadership both in the front office and on the bench, at least the bench management will be better.

    Does this mean their curse will finally come to an end?

    I personally don't think so but let's hope for the best for them...to the point where they're not better than the Rockets :grin: :grin:

    It will take more than the partial sacking of Dunleavy to remove the stink from this franchise, but it's a start.

    Bill Simmons is going to be revolting over this.

    I'm becoming increasingly convinced he's only the coach because the owners feel he needs the record for wins and he probably couldn't get a job with any other team, making Golden State his last chance for it.

    The Clips need to be demoted to the D-League.

    He's not available until the offseason, and that whole Wizards coaching gig hasn't exactly been a resume builder.

    If they hire Tom Thibodeaux as the new coach, it will turn years of bad defense into gritty lock down defense.

    Elston Turner would be another good candidate for improving their defense. He has the benefit of learning from Adelman.

    Adelman is one of the best veteran coaches to have as a mentor.

    Gosh, he's still general manager. That stinks.

    I was going to say get'er done Morey.

    I think it was a bad move by the Clips because they are not going to make playoffs, and they need to lose more games to get a better draft pick. They should have stuck with Dunleavy for the season.
