How many great teams have been blown out this many times upon being assembled?

Tonight sucked. I'm totally underwhelmed by the above the rim play. Without a legit post presence, centers can just contest these guards at the rim all game. Guards should have someone to kick to for an inside play when the centers collapse on them.

This team lacks diversified talent. EG and reke are totally undersized for what we want them to do. Reke is best at PG where he can overpower his defenders. We essentially have 3 players that play PG best making 37 mill per year.

AD is the only super physically talented player at his position. Jrue is good enough to be the 3rd scorer.

AD needs to develop and we need another big 3 or 5 superstar alongside him to become a great team. The pelicans have no post presence on offense.

Without another great talent, we'd need a popavich like coach and I don't see that happening.

I thought jrue/gordon/reke were too similar from the start, but it's worse than I thought. They can't succeed together. They're 3 point guards.

Hard to play well when AD is on the bench. We lost because our best player was in foul trouble the whole damn game. (See -19 in rebounds).

I agree we need a true center I think we can survive without getting a 3 we need a 5

Not even ten games in the books and it's all a colossal failure?

Everyone besides AD and aminu can't do shite inside. Inside shots are the ones you want and no one on this team can hit any. They all look like they have lead in their arse. None of our 37 million dollar players can grab boards or do anything inside on both ends of the floor. AD isn't strong enough to overwhelm inside either. Essentially, they're left with mid range shots all game.

I've seen enough now to know that the team, as is, won't be great. The experiment has failed. AD is being forced to carry way too much front court load at 20.

Just wait until Ryno starts raining buckets from deep. Then we will see how many inside shots this group is capable of making.

And why does that surprise anyone? You people who thought this team would win 50 games are insane.

At this point, 35 games is a stretch.

Tyreke might be a big guy but I haven't seen him dunk yet and he looks like he can barely jump. None of our guards can explode to the hoop like jr smith, d wade, russell westbrook, xavier henry, james harden, iggy, etc. What are they going to do when passing it to each other? I'm not ever going to be content with this lineup.

The fact that ^ included Xavier Henry in a list of DWade, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, etc. LOL

Tyreke's jumping might be affected by his gimp ankle right now, just saying...
