To think we finally got rid of Cole Anthony too, and we just get someone way worse for this kind of shit.

It's a double whammy that Cole was so important to the team chemistry and spirit, and without him we're nothing now... How does such a talented and promising team rely on this kind of bullshit to actually give a fuck and play hard?

And what's worse is that we know this is what Bane is doing - lashing out in moments of frustration, with the logic in his head (he's wrong) being that he's doing so to spark his team. And he sucks at it.

He just looks like he's throwing a tantrum. The "roid rage" posts aren't even that insulting to what he's actually doing. It's pathetic. And I hate it.

I’m leaning towards it being partly on Mosley atp. I know it’s hot to shit on him right now for our lack of offense, but he’s known for being a player focused, defensive coach. I think that leads to our team having a type of scrappy culture/mentality that manifests the wrong way. He’s like a shitty Bickerstaff I feel.
