There is more parity in this league than ever before. The team is going to win a bunch of games and lose their fair share as well.

There is always room for improvement, but when the same posters over and over only recommendation is to fire the coach it becomes exhausting.

Also I don’t feel like “brutally inconsistent” is accurate. Other than the first 20 games last year when the team was adjusting to the system we have seen typical hot streaks and cold streaks just like every other team in the league

Stuff like this

Is smug. It's also hilariously ironic because this is based on a short stretch of games where we've played well and this same thing has happened before. We've had good stretches. You mention his strategies and philosophies to be competitive over a season, that hasn't been proven at all.

When we actually see a consistent competitive team, not this up and down roller coaster ride it's been under Gulatzan, I'll change my opinion completely.

Until then, he's a pretty meh coach to me.
