    At least it's nice to agree/mourn together.

    This is so fucc up. Take them so long and conduct so many interviews to hire someone not any other teams wanted. Wasting everyone's time.

    and people still blame Harden for everything that's wrong with this team, when time and time again our owner and front office fails to surround Harden with a quality coach and teammates? i'm so sick of this man. when the fu*k are we gonna experience good coaching? when the fu*k are we gonna have a legit second star?

    Of course I voted NO, but I hope like hell that all of us are wrong. Stranger things have happened.

    We were essentially unanimous about thinking that Ty Lawson was going to work.

    We are essentially unanimous about thinking MDA will fail. Would love to be wrong...

    I hope we can't sign enough free agents to field a team and we have to forfeit every game

    Unbelievable that they didn't hear any of the fan backlash to the D'Antoni rumors and went ahead with the hire. Les is out of his mind.

    Not gonna lie, I was more upset when McHale got hired. Maybe I have prepared myself for this. Now I'm like "meh"

    Well, this organization is full with a bunch of phony losers who think they know what it takes to win, and losers are attracted to losers. At least it is not "our" team as some people on this forum would like to think. Let them suffer the consequences of their actions.

    If I was the majority of the fans, I would just stop caring, not worth caring about something you can't control anyway. So many things you can do to better your life than care for someone else's team, especially if they are making decisions contrary to your beliefs. I sometimes debate this Myself about why I care so much for something that has nothing to do with Me? But sports in general can be the opiate of the masses, leading you to be distracted from the real issues going on in your life and in the world. This organization obviously does not care about it's fan base unless the money is rolling in, and the decisions being made now only exemplify that.

    My problem isnt MDA its the personnel that More is gong to give him to work with. Either we are going to be like the Suns or the Knicks in this situation. I dont think its going to be a healthy medium.
