re: Do you think Griff and the front office are satisfied with just beating average/bad teams?

For sure glad that the ASB didn't come after the Hornets game where there was a lot of delusion occurring. The Pels are a good team but need to adjust their roster if they expect anything past the first round.

The talent is there, but its' terribly imbalanced. Pels, by my count, have (1) point and (9) wings, and with little argument, their top (5-6) players are all wings.

The frontcourt is manned by two 30+ players, one a good rebounder that's slow with bad hands and feet and the other an athletic but undersized and injury-prone player. This team desperately needs a big that fits this roster better, when they are essentially playing one big lineups (no PF). It's left little to wonder why they continue to get big-boy'd in games that matter.

What's obvious is that their two best players despite their height/weight combo (BI-6'8" and Zion-285) are actually backcourt players, both capable of playing 1-3. That's not really a problem, Pels just need to recognize the fact and adjust accordingly.

Viewing BI and Zion as essentially backcourt players further exacerbates the issue with the number of wings. There is not enough court time to effectively utilize and grow the others properly. They need to come off one, maybe two of them and add athleticism, physicality, and toughness to the frontcourt. They can likely manage the point position through this year (address in the off-season), but if they want to make some post-season noise it's clear what they need to do.
