that’s two thus far shooter
-
if we are all slaves to data regression and scheduling quirks then what does it matter if we fire the manager? I actually don’t really care if we move on from counsell or not for the reasons you’re gesturing at but what affirmative case has he actually established? triply so for jed. the bar has to be higher than don’t be the reason your team is in a tailspin.
-
the reason not to over react is because the dodgers who have been been consistently dominant since 2017 had a similarly bad stretch?
-
if this continues careening into the side of a mountain and Jed gets fired no one is going to be surprised and his tenure will be as non descript as AKMEs was in the long span of time despite whatever (not really large) differences there were season to season. it’ll be like comparing the John Fox era to the Dave Wannstedt era or something—no one will care enough to parse out the differences
-
is the bar being able to play like a great team in spots or something closer to being able to consistently field a very good team over multiple seasons. he’s never done that as the guy in the big seat. in spite of an observable and durable resource advantage compared to the rest of the division. what is the evidence that jed is the best person in the world (or something approximating that) for this highly compensated, highly desirable, extremely supply constrained job?
-
there’s no other kind of firing than an immediate firing if firing jed hoyer with his track record of never putting a great team on the field is considered immediate
-
we are like a .500 ball club in the aggregate since Covid with one Covid division title, no real division titles and no LCS or WS appearance
-
If the bar is not actively hurting the team during a big slump then there ought to be a track record of putting a great product on the field
-
wasn’t Petersons makeup/competitive drive supposed to be off the charts coming into college?
-
boozer just kind of screams michael beasley to me. now maybe michael beasley with a better head would’ve been an all star but i just feel like he’s a tweener forward who isn’t explosive enough to be a number one option on offense in the nba i think caleb’s floor is basically horace grant

burden was a first round grade going into his last season at mizzou, had a down year, and the grade was pretty mixed by the time the draft came around.
-
burden was really impactful for a 2nd rounder on a snap count that roush may easily exceed rams ran 13 on 31% of their snaps last year which was 2x the next closest team and almost 4x the bears who were still top 5. if we run 13 like a fifth of the time or more which seems really likely, roush could easily be on the field for half the snaps
-
smythe was on the field for over 25% of the snaps which was a lot higher than i was expecting, roush will probably get over a third then which is about where burden was last year.
-
you have to at least make steve kerr say no right?
-
the point is to be good
-
The lack of will is the only thing stopping them the Mavs are gonna go after presti, stevens, etc from what I’ve heard
-
the bulls sure are leaking to anyone that will listen that the want to keep billy which is great if you want to drive down the cost of your new front office by taking an important hire off the table
-
of course this is the right move but it’s kind of hilarious that the bar is apparently missing the play in. not even once says Jerry!
-
these are some really bad pitches
-
holy f never seen a game turn on a dime quite like that, when duke was breaking the trap in the backcourt by passing it looked like high IQ ball lol
-
just spend money on players
-
I’d rather spend on center and LT
-
Besides Lonzo, at one point in their Bulls tenure everyone the Bulls traded was worth at least a (protected) first rounder
