What is the source of our team problem?



A roster that was put together just by looking at talent/potential and not actively looking for pieces that fit best with the 3rd best player in the NBA.

Monty doesn't want to play our best players, Jimmer and Babbitt.

I'd love to know how highly regarded whoever the Magic's GM is around league circles. I absolutely love watching that team play - they just "fit". Surprisingly, the Milwaukee Bucks out of nowhere also seem to "fit".

Our Pellies are kind of like the Knicks in that they don't "fit" and compliment each other. It's a depressing thought and I think it's a bummer that Dell has failed to develop a roster whose sum of parts is greater than the individual talents.

LOL...Jimmer....

We have a lot of problems, Jimmer's lack of PT is most certainly not one of them.

Not enough talent, mostly on the bench.

Who is first and second? And where would the second best players on those teams rank amongst the entire NBA?

We need more talent on this team if we are to be taken seriously.

I agree to a certain extent but i definitely think this team is under achieving under Monty.

No creativity on offense is killing us right now.

I'd have to assume he means Lebron and Durant, which isn't outrageous.

Coach who always preaches defense and can't get results with AD, Jrue, and Asik on the same roster.

19 games in I expected our stats to be slightly better with a relatively healthy roster. I'm not nearly in panic mode because it is very early in the season and yes we have had a very difficult schedule to date. Monty needs to get these offensive rotations ironed out as well as some better defensive efforts. With three starters that are known for their above average defense, I expect better

Thanks, I think this is a big factor. We're not great, but we're not that bad and when you see us at the bottom of the Division it makes me sick. But, the Divsion and Conference - Wow, how can an even better than average (not saying we are) have much hope. However, a string of wins sure would feel good.

What we are witnessing now is the team going through the toughest part of the schedule. We have played the 6th toughest schedule so far LINK Look at the games in January-March, we will make a run and be in the thick of the playoff race. If no significant injuries occur this team will end up with a win total in the mid to upper 40s.

It was a rhetorical question, and yes I agree that those are the 2 players hr meant. Point is, both of those guys have supporting players in another class than our second best player.
