To Fire MDSr.? or Not to Fire MDSr? That is the Question.

CBS Sports Think MDSr. may be next?

Here it is again and again, we here at Clips Nation are not the only ones talking about it.

Is it Time for MDSr. to finally go?

How is this season starting any different then the ones of the past? 

We are Lucky enough to score the 1st. Overall Draft pick and he has been injured 3 times now and has yet to play an official NBA Regular season contest.

Our Best player and possiably the best Clipper to ever don our uniform in Eric Gordon is also injured.

MDSr. has his replacement Tim "Brick" Thomas in Rasual Butler (what does he see in this guy) a player that torched us in games but stinks when he plays for us.

Now Kareem Rush is out right when he was just staring to get it going for us.

I know these injury's are not MDSr. fault but he is Coach and GM so he takes Two Blame spots on the Higher Up to the Lower shelf blame meter.

… is a nice slap at Elton Brand, which should make it enjoyable reading, no matter which side of the MDSr controversy you’re on.

I say give him until the First of the Year

If they are still struggling, get him off the sidelines.

This team has too much talent to look as feeble as it often does. A new coach is rarely a cure all, but it does help to wake everyone up and give the appearance that the team is commited to winning.

You'd think so

but there are those around here who disagree.

come on...

You can only get rid of a coach, if he fails to meet expecatations. If your expectations are to high, it’s really your own fault.

And what about the youth movement?

And it’s really the players fault since coaches really don’t do anything to contribute to a win.

(What else am I missing John?)

The best thing this franchise could do is totally get rid of Dunleavy, bring in a new

coach and GM and show the fans that the owner actually gives a shi*. Popovich was a college coach before his FIRST pro job in S.A. so you don’t necessarily have to go with a retread. Just make a move now for cying out loud. How long has it been with MDSR – and how long have we been complaining about him. Geez, I feel like a Lions fan complaining about Matt Millen for a dozen years – before the owner finally got a clue and did something.

7 years.

Time. To. Go.

Clippers 09-10. Prepare for a revolution.

Dunleavy...

will try to break Jerry Sloan’s record. He will be our coach for the next twenty years.

It's time to go

every team faces injuries, fortunately for them they fight through it and don’t roll over the way the clipps do.

we need a new voice, it’s for Jon Lucas to run the show. I know we owe MDSR $10M, but the longer he stays coaching the more money they will lose at the gates.

HAHA

That actually happened here in Australia in our national basketball league about 3 years ago. Mark Price got fired and was replaced by a player/coach. Needless to say they finished right on the bottom.

by Sam50 on Nov 19, 2009 2:14 PM PST reply actions  

Well last season we were tied for Second to the bottom, That counts right? How could we do worse then that?

Other then when DTS fires Dunleavy DTS will be out 10 Mil.

Everything starts out New, Gets Old and Dies or is Destroyed.

That's a pretty easy goal,

especially if we havent even won 19 games win. Can you imagine if we win LESS than 19 if there was a player/coach combo..?
