I'm not down on this team, but for sure, they're mind-numbing. This is the reason you don't fall for the fool's gold of the recent win streak. They're poorly configured and don't have an identity.

That was a big pile of arse.

Any slight momentum was stopped very quickly. Gave up too much on D too easy and too frequently.

The Dallas game isn’t going to be fun… CJ Z BI pulled some high minutes for no reason, should have been pulled early in the 4th

It was an important game. Denver is the defending champion. Probably have to go through them to get anywhere in the playoffs. We need to build some confidence against them and scheme a way to be competitive. Can't let them dominate the boards and shoot close to 60%..

The problem with “sitting tight” is BI wants a 50+ million a year max deal this offseason.

I think you have to move Brandon if you want to see Zion full potential cause I think at times he defers to Brandon cause he don’t want B.I feel like he stepping on his toes imo

And I like B.I he is a really good player but you can’t have your second best player want to and think his your best player just not going to work

Yall over react every time. They wanted to throw last nights game and sit everyone, but they couldn’t because it was a nationally televised game. So they played with 0 effort. We were rolling for the last 5 games and now we have a stinker and everyone freaks out. The Celtics just got the breaks best off them by the bucks, we just blew out 2 teams by 20+. We shouldn’t overreact about one game we were trying to throw the towel in on

We have been playing very well overall and we are seven games above .500. But we have played two actual contenders recently and got blown out in both. It’s okay to have discussions about ways to actually maximize our best player and the roster as a whole.

The Wolves aren't contenders?

Denver is the only top 6 team we haven't beaten this year.

Exactly. Just having a healthy squad means they will be in the mix at the end of the season.

Yeah it’s just not gonna work. CJ for example accepts he’s a number 2/3 and plays that role. BI just can’t. We cannot be the team that pays him 50m/yr

I don't know, we looked so good the other night. It was a dominating performance and looked effortless. It was balanced too, with no one truly showing out.

I wouldn't mess with it and ride with what we got. See how it ends up. If we flame out, we have plenty of time to adjust.
