we just need to play as team more, and get more guys involved. I cant stand seeing tyreke force up a lay-up when a guy is standing wide open.

George Karl as head coach would help

We need to be better at turning turnovers into points...We just seem to waste them with stupid shots

And sweet blown break away layups which result in 50 year old Vince Carter hitting a 3 a couple of seconds later...

Yeah, I like guys being aggressive, and I am never upset when any of our gaurds are able to penetrate. The problem for Reke is that he is currently a one option guy, finishing at the basket. The only passes he is willing to give are big men sitting wide open 2 feet from the basket. There needs to be an emphasis on getting the ball out to shooters when the ENTIRE defense collapses on you.
Reke will be a force if he can continue to knock down these open threes, and find a way to facilitate off his drives.

Karl is mentioning the Pels because Karl knows if we don't go .500 in 10 games, monty is gone and he's coming on.

Who is gonna fire Williams? Word I've heard is that Monty's job js safer than Demps either way there is a 0% chance Monty is getting fired after 10 games this season.

Well that went over your head...
We all know he's safe for now. 10 games isn't enough, by mid-season if we're below .500 you bet your candy arse he's gone.

No way. The team is expected to be right at .500 in vegas, by the national writers, media, etc. If they are say 5 games under at the break there's not a chance Williams gets fired. The bensons reportedly love him. The expectations that many have for this team are just too high. When everyone else says you are a .500 team chances are that the non biased people are right and the homers aren't.

Expectations from your fans and supporters that go to these games are a big factor. Fans will start putting pressure on the FO if we don't win more games.
This team has a lot of talent and progress should be made if we're a healthy team. Vegas put us as a .500 team, I think that's where I would put us as a floor considering a crippled team last year was able to win 34 games, 7 more than the previous year. I don't think this team as it is structured at this moment would be a 50 win team, since we have a glaring hole on our bench. But 46-48 wins is definitely in the realm of possibility if we can stay healthy and win a few nailbiters instead of bending over.

We beat the two teams that we were supposed to beat. We lost to the team that took the Spurs to game 7, and also to the team that took the Thunder to game 7.
The Mavs added Chandler Parsons, and the Grizz added Vince Carter, so both teams have gotten better in the off-season. And we were ice cold in both games.
Our two losses weren't bad ones. I think 82-0 is a slightly unreasonable expectation.
Anthony Davis is one of the best players in the league. Gordon will start making buckets. The team will develop more cohesion as the season progresses. We will be a playoff team. No worries.
Just pray that we stay healthy...

That's just a rumor
Demps is safe if we see progress.

Thought Id drop this little nugget...AD is currently 3rd in the NBA in rebounds per game (13.3) while Asik is 5th in the NBA (11.3)...Tyreke is in the top 20 in the NBA with 9 rebounds per game

And oh yea hire George Karl
