FWIW, he may have left his seat but he didn't leave the Dome. He was there until well after the game ended.

Good for him.

Still bad optics.

Still bad optics.

If it was a recurring theme with Melo, maybe. But I don’t see the big deal if he leaves his seat for one game. Maybe the guy had to use the bathroom and then started talking to people?

Honestly, my first assumption would be he’s a busy dude. He’s shown up all season as much as he can, but he has other stuff going on. Even Kiyan has mentioned that in interviews.

Seems silly to me if people get fixated on Melo leaving his seat and running rampant with speculation as to what that means.

We need to completely clean house, including all of the players! Kiyan Anthony is overhyped.

I disagree completely. We have the players. Adrian just isn’t the coach we need. See when he talks about the energy of a 5 it’s almost like he is begging them to be that way and any good coach I know of demands it. U do it my way or else. Bobby knight ass meets bench, ass tells head to not do that no more type. U don’t coach great being nice. Like being a parent, . U have to be hard on them even though u love them. Why u are hard on them so they succeed.

Glad I slept through this one. Hope we get eleven or so more 9pm tips.

All I could ask for. Nothing more.

Kinda odd that this was one game where Kyle was actually working in the post just getting the ball and taking a couple dribbles and scoring in the first half.

I'm not sure he touched the ball once in the post in the second half.

We did try putting him into scoring position by having him drive to the hoop from the three point line... but I'm not always certain that's the best usage of his skill set.

Haven’t seen Kiyan’s mom at a game in a while. Unhappy with what she was seeing as far as coaching goes?

I know that if she had the choice she wanted kiyan to go to usc over Syracuse.

 

[PhatOrange]

Didn’t play Zephir at all in the 2nd half. That’s the difference in the game. Terrible coaching.

I thought that kid played well in the first half, I'm not sure he even recorded a stat, but the offensive flow just seemed better with him in the game. I hate coaches that don't stick with what's working.

 

[Goin' Deep]

The beginning of the season, we were pleased with the "talent" in this year's roster.
PG is wonderful, team is more athletic...we're beating low level teams by 20+ points!!

And now...?

Aren't teams suppose to get better/gel?
Yet this team has decayed.
Gee...how can this be...?

I hope/maybe, Wildhack has a clue this time.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Kiyan doesn’t play defense and is a ball hog, George can’t create in this offense and when he tries it’s a TO, JJ thinks he’s Kobe, Donnie is inconsistent, and the coaches are checked out knowing that they’re gone.

Next coach can decide to who he wants to retain

 

[Scooch]

The reason for keeping Kiyan is Dad can financially support the program, including paying a new coach. Also he is a young player with a lousy coach. I'd like to see what another coach could pull out of him. And to the poster who mentioned mom not being at games, I wondered the same thing. Has she given up on the program?

She has a life and she can watch every game on TV. I mean, I took my son to a LOT of travel hockey and lacrosse tournaments without my wife joining. Lala not attending means absolutely nothing.

Yep, the conjecture about Kiyan's parents is silliness. I was thinking last night that I'm amazed Melo has been at nearly every game. The guy has a ton of demands on his time.
