Re: sick of losing to the WORST teams...



Regarding comments from those who mainly post only when we lose, see below.  No post after a decent win, but a loss on the road on the back half of two straight, with the second on the road isn't mentioned.  The return of Kukoc isn't mentioned and he is obviously a difficult matchup.
 
We beat a very good team last night, lose to a team who have now won 3 straight and are definitely improving, who have added a decent shooter in Maloney, and Pitino should be fired?  I love hearing people say stuff like if the players are consistent, it's the fault of the coach.  That is such a load of crap.  The players miss foul shots and the coach should be held accountable.  What about the player?  Does he bear any responsibility?  If it's all the fault of the coach, why has Toine taken so much heat from this list.  When Toine sucks, it is up to him to get out of it, not the coach.  It is up to the coach to point out the weaknesses to the player and give him/her points of emphasis to improve or correct the skill.  But a coach cannot will a player into not making bad passes or turnovers, as they are part of the game and always will be.
 
Those who are looking for consistency, at this point, will be greatly disappointed.  It takes time.  Apparently more than some of you are willing to wait.

What the heck is goin on???!!!   
We beat a good team and then we lose to a very bad or worst team in the league!
 
this is embarrasing because it already happened twice against the same Chicago team and Pitino and the charges didn't learn anything from the first loss.  Are the players intentionally making Pitino look bad?  Maybe.  Or is Pitino just not up to the task?  Most probably.  If we're so inconsistent, then it's the coaches task to motivate and condition every players minds in every game. 
 
I'm sure Pitino has excuses of, "Oh, we didn't pass the ball around..."
"Oh, our players need consistency and maturity...", " Oh, we are blah blah blah..."
I can only say he talks a lot of bull.
 
I was hoping that my prediction of 32 wins and no entry to the playoffs would be wrong but it's already kinda goin towards that and it sickens me.
 
Patience is a virtue...but the teams' showing is simply sickening!!!  WE DEFINITELY NEED TO CHANGE THE COACH!!!
