    We let him come this far, I'd say if we don't have a winning season DTS will just have to eat the rest of Dunleavys contract. This is his last go round.

    He shoulda been gone last year. If we perform the same as last year he should be gone early in the season. What do we have to lose. Is this the longest running thread ever. Its kinda funny how Dun has brought out so many posts from so many of us.

    Took the time to write a little bit of what I feel, thought itd apply to this thread, so... (referenced from another thread, but message is the same)

    First of all, I do "think through" with every answer I give. Facts are facts: Good coach? No. Good GM? No. He may put a good team together, but a team consists of the coach and his staff. So by default he is not a good GM. As weve seen, with great players and poor head coach, the results are unfavorable.

    Our players DO NOT want to play for him. His style basketball DOES NOT coincide with the team he has. He DOES NOT manage and motivate the team. His style is OUTDATED on and off the court. His players are unenthusiastic to be on the court, they have no respect for him, and are flat out ANNOYED by his presence. This includes most fans, especially those fans who actually watched the games, and care about the team.

    I am question the "sense of pride and fan hood" of those who like to site back and watch this guy do as he pleases. Did he get DTS to open his wallet? Maybe, but any other grounded coach wouldve done the same. Scratch that, other grounded but good coaches would've had DTS using and abusing the luxury ax right now and have had winning seasons by now with multiple post season performances. Any other coach would've had the Clipper Nation PROUD of their team right now. I am no defending Bill's Clipper bashing - i could care less what low balled haters say. I am defending his Dunleavy bashing.

    And to put of the past as past... We have to learn from the past and improve. Dunleavy has not done that. Dunleavy has not proven to be a great coach with any of teams hes coached. He has had good teams, and he has failed. And if you think weve "improved the first four years"... this isnt high school. Many people, including myself, paid THOUSANDS of dollars to follow the team - and in this business you cant be content with "improving" by winning a few more games every year. You need to DRASTICALLY improve. Lakers missed the playoffs in 05-06 and struggled 04-05... lets see how they've improved since... oh NBA Finals next two seasons winning it all this season.

    The problem is Clipper fans are OK with being mediocre. The owner is OK with being mediocre. That is why we are always a less than mediocre team season in and season out. That is why we are considered A JOKE. And that is why they are haters like Simmons who talks smack. So before anyone goes on and acts all hopeful wishing for a Disneyland ending (a little "happily ever after") WAKE UP, GET REAL. The teams that spend the most money, that have the biggest guns, and have attitude are the teams that demand respect, that have front cover photos, that get press, that are favored by many, and have ball licking writers... oh and did I mention they WIN?

    The naivety of the Clipper nation is what holds this organization back - then they come and defend the teams loosing ways and condemn others of their fanhood and lack of pride and love of the team? Im sorry I WANT TO WIN. I WANT MY TEAM TO WIN. How can I be proud of a 19 win season? The moment you want that too you will understand my position. The day Clipper Nation recognizes this is the day we just might have a winning organization. Either that or STH will be down to 0, and attendance will be low, and DTS will understand the true meaning of owning a real team.

    All of you that want Dunleavy fired:

    How do you feel about him as a GM? Should we make this a petition to make him only a GM, or do you guys want him out completely?


    I think this is a very legitimate question. As GM he has done a pretty good job. He drafted Gordon, and Deandre Jordan last year. He brought in Marcus Camby, and some great acquisitions like Steve Novak (who has really gone largely unnoticed). Dunleavy has a good eye for talent, so we should keep him as GM. But he just has trouble bringing out the talent that these players have. Most Clippers fans were giddy at the thought of getting Camby and Baron Davis in the offseason, and he even managed to steal Zach Randolph during the middle of the season. Dunleavy even made a strong push to get Josh Smith and Emeka Okafur in the offseason. But despite all this talent he couldn't make the team produce. It's clear that he should vacate the coaching role, but keep him as GM.

    He'd have to buy Sterling out for half the team or take a pay cut = to that of the new coach, but where else would he go, otherwise????

    I went to a BBQ this weekend and we were talking B Ball I brought up the Clippers, Blake Griffin and the playoffs and it was funny to hear almost everybody say the Clippers won't do $#*! as long as Dunleavy is coach. Not laker haters either only two were Lakers fans. One of the Laker fans (my stepdad) surprised me by saying Mike Taylor was good, he didn't even know he had been waived. I was shocked he even talked about the Clippers, he's been a lifelong Lakers fan and never talks about another team. Everybody liked Jordan too saying Kaman and Baron should be packaged together for a trade and start Jordan. Just about every player on our team got praised by Houston, Dallas, Lakers and Orlando fans there but the one thing that bothered me is the comment on player develpment, they all agreed Dunleavy will hinder Eric Gordon's development. I can't see that if he's starting, not now.

    Let's just hope for the best since its clear that Dunleavy will be here for quite some time. Hey, maybe this season Dunleavy will change his style of coaching and finally be the players coach we need. You never know. Wink

    It would be great if Dunleavy could change his coaching style, but highly doubtful. He has done a solid job at GM though. I think throughout this offseason he has really worked hard on putting together the best team possible. I believe we will be the 8th seed in the west this season. We just need to fire our team trainers and offer the Sun’s trainers a pay raise(look how rejuvenated Shaq was last season). Our winning depends more on health than coaching.

    If Dunleavy can get Lebron to sign with the Clippers after this season, he deserves a contract extension. Make it happen Dunleavy.

    So I've been wondering...what kind of coach was Dumbleavy for the '90-'91 Lakers team? I was young and wasn't much of an NBA fan at the point and always wondered how Magic Johnson got along with Dumb. For those who remember, did Magic have to compromise his game for coach or did Dumb actually let him be himself? Was that team predicated on isos as well?

    And how about the 2000 Blazers team? What led to his demise there? I remember them doing alot of isos as welll, but the thing is they had so much talent there was no way they could NOT win 50+ games and get far in the playoffs.

    I'm trying to figure out if Dumb changed his playbook as the years went on or was he always like this dating back to his first coaching job. Anybody who can shed light on this...much appreciated.

    im tired of dunleavys inability to coach. He makes stupid deccision and just cant seem to motivate his players. i dont even want to keep him as gm. I want him gone away from everyone. He is a cancer to this team when it comes to coaching.Good coachs can win games even when their key players are injured.

    We need to find someone to close games we play hard but just cant seem to finish the games off. Baron has been doing well for us. AS well as Kaman. rasual has been a dissapointment so far ( hes been defending well) but just cant seem to get the ball in the bucket.

    I kno the big plan is to wait til 2010 and make a run at lebron but you have to look at the likeliness of that happening:

    Lebron signing with us is very slim , unless we show that we are a decent team and can win games and him coming can take us to the next level.Lebron wants a championship, if we are gonna make a run we have to atleast show him we can make the playoffs.

    Joe Johnson: Although he can play sf his natural position is sg. And i dont think it in the teams best interest to make a commitment to another 30 year old .

    I kno that griffin is injured, but i think we need a trade for a small forward that can make an impact. and our biggest weakness is on the wing. and we have so many bigs it wouldnt hurt to trade on of them to get a player that needed. heres some proposals

    camby and al thornton for gerald wallace and gerald henderson

    camby and ricky davis for caron butler

    or we can just blow the whole team up and start over with gordon, blake , thorton, and jordan

    i know its still early into the season but as long as dunleavy is head coach our team is not gonna win much games. he simply cant run a fast pace team

    although you may feel dunleavy did a great job as a gm . i beg to differ. a good gm gets players that fits their system.you say he got good players but did they really fit his system.last year he gets baron who thrives the best in fast pace. this year he says that they were gonna play faster but in games its starting to feel like the first have we play fast pace and the second have we play dunleavys stupid isolation post up plays that ends up in turnover. and since to try to iso and get it to the play so much we waste half of the shot clock trying to get the ball to one player resulting in us to rush ending a missed shot or turnover.

    FIRE DUNLEAVY

    FIRE DUNLEAVY

    FIRED DUNLEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Did you see his depress face during post game interview, he know hes on the hot seat and his ERA is coming to a end.

    LUCAS FOR COACH!!!!!!!!!!

    Throughout the years we would always have good players. and still lose. Yall may say its because of injuries there is no excuse good coaches can win even with their best players out. the rockets and the kings , buck have better recored with their best players out. with baron anda kaman in the game we should not be losing. enough said. IMHO

    CTB, Let's face it. If Dunleavy isn't fired in a game or two, this season is lost.

    Keeping Dunleavy = Failure (7 years prove it. No more Bullshit about injuries, i'm sure every coach had injuries and when they sucked, they got fired).
    - Clipper Nation hates him. Not only does the NECESSARY chanting bring a bad atmosphere, but people will just stop buying tickets.
    -When Blake comes back, we will still lose. In Summer League and Preseason, opponents didn't really try. Dunleavy only knows how to play one way and thats to just let ur bigs shoot. (Kaman, Brand) He doesn't know how to use his players well. He has a load of talent in his eyes but he just doesn't see it or trust it.

    I'm expecting to see "Clippers fire Mike Dunleavy" headlines tomorrow. Sterling has to know when enough is enough. If he really wants to make money, fire dunleavy. The team will be changed and fans might actually go watch the New Look Clippers.

    Wow I actually fully agree with this post, very well said!

    This actually reminded me of another point- you constantly see other teams with amazing team passing. Sometimes our passing looks good- other times it's downright horrible. But other teams ALWAYS find a way to get our defense scrambling, then find a way to get the open guy the ball (the one that got left open while we're scrambling). I find it odd that this barely happens with the Clippers, unless Baron or Telfair initiate a heads up play. Usually when it happens with the Clippers, it's due to improv because of Bassy or Baron, and not because it was the direct result of the play Dunleavy drew up.

    As you said, most of the plays Dunleavy draws up are either too complicated, or too post oriented...

    Thanks TCI.
    Let me add onto what i said.

    This team has always had a losing atmosphere. Part of the reason is that when we fail, we don't do anything about it, we just continue losing. Sterling needs to understand that this year can either make or KILL his franchise. Next year superstars will leave their respected teams and look into the Free Agency. No All-Star ( not even Superstar) will come to this organization. WE need to establish ourselves as a team that is headed to the right direction. We need Change.

    Dunleavy has traded for a 20/10 in Randolph, he had a Great Rookie in Eric Gordon, he had a former all-star in Baron. And we couldn't even win 20 games.

    Now we have a all-star in Chris Kaman, Baron is playing better than last year. Eric shot well. He traded for rasual. He has depth. We still lose.

    This organization is letting Dunleavy get who he wants. He doesn't know how to use them.

    Good Example: Suns last year. Terry Porter did not have a terrible record, it was somewhat okay. They didn't settle for Okay and fired him. They got their interim to step in and he used his players to his advantage.

    I see the same for the Clippers. The season is still young, we need to fire dunleavy and let someone else be in charge. Dunleavy hasn't work. It may never work. We might as well give someone else a try.

    Can you blame Dunleavy for poor pick and roll defense by Baron Davis and Marcus Camby? look at how many free looks Chris Bosh had... look at how many free looks the Raptor's 3 point shooters had. Dunleavy isn't telling Baron Davis to play 10 feet off their point guards trying to cherry pick steals in the lane.

    ZZZZ. Even though their offensive sets aren't that great, their defensive lapses rest solely on the players. ESPECIALLY their veterans

    You can't blame Camby, he held Bosh to 8 points less than his average, less free throws (Bosh had some BS calls for his FT attempts), and worse shooting percentage. Heck, he didn't even make a field goal in the first quarter. Baron had good defense too, he just ran out of gas in the end because Dunleavy played him till 1 minute left in the 3rd.

    Last night I went to the Raptors game. I used to be a season ticket holder, but last night I bought $125 face value tickets for $25 a ticket. Even worse was that the majority of rows in front and behind me were almost empty.

    After the game I walked to the metro with a clipper ticket rep and many clipper fans whereas we all started "Fire Dunleavy" chants. The rep told me that at the end of the year for the season ticket holder meeting 95% of people said "Fire Dunleavy" when asked how to improve the Clipper experience.

    So my question is, since Sterling is so cheap, at what point does it become $$$ smart to fire Dunleavy? I feel like the fan base would be energized if the coach was changed.

    BTW Telfair and Baron in the back-court together? That is just so bad and asking for disasters against the raptors. Both are smaller and neither can shoot how come his bad moves are just so obvious to everybody but himself.

    I think that's about bringing in Rush, rather than another quick, true guard which we could desperately use.

    I feel bad for you calm and the other clips fans that actually go out and pay for tickets to watch this suckfest. Dunleavy and Sterling are robbing fans of their hard earned money. Given the economic climate not everyone can afford to pay to watch mediocore uninspired basketball. It is with sadness that I bought tickets a week ago for a game in December as well. I may just sell those tickets since I can use the money for a car wash or some tacos from jack in the box.

    Sorry guys it looks like Sterling is not thinking about canning Dunleavy just yet

    You are too generous Elton Sucks! I'd take mediocre and uninspired any day of the week from this team. They are nowhere near that level. I'd rate this team closer to Horrible and Embarrassing just above the very difficult to reach in pro sports...the dreaded AWOL level last observed in Feb.-April last year. Stay the course Sterling and you'll get back to this coveted status.

    By the way, Tacos from Jack in the Box? Are you training with Jason Powell these days?
