Vasquez has been the best story, and although he didn't get as many minutes as he maybe should have, Davis hasn't disappointed, Anderson has been solid (although not too great lately) and Lopez has been better than expected.

I agree with this

The Gordon thing is really a black cloud over the franchise right now. I've said it before, this franchise is going to regret that signing for a long time. Should have just let him walk.

I wasn't sure what to thing when we matched his offer. Right now, it looks like we made a mistake. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not very confident. I certainly wouldn't mind a trade, but I have a hard time seeing someone trade for him with his injuries
quote:

That and Rivers being as bad as he has been, and then getting hurt right as he seemed to be getting "it".

I may be one of the few on here that is confident that Rivers will end up being a good player. Certainly he had a rough start, but he started figuring out what he did well as a player and was starting to show signs of a very solid improvement. I was pretty bummed when he got hurt
quote:

And then the worst part is Monty is really just not showing me much anymore. Bad sets, bad defense, the team as a whole just not seeming to play with as much fire.

This is one of the things that confuses me. Last year we seemed to be much more competitive even though we were a worse team, and I think its because we lost solid leaders in Jack and Landry. Monty needs to do a better job of motivating players and getting someone to step up as a team leader. He also needs to improve his 4th quarter coaching, along with the offensive sets and perimeter defense

When you include all of that along with our lack of depth, this season hasn't been horrible. I think that we just had such unrealistic expectations at the beginning of the year that this season seems so bad.

People can say what they want about our future with Monty and Gordon, but I'm still optimistic about our future
