It's what every team has been doing. They've been putting their 4 on KAT and their 5 on Vanderbilt.

Problem is, without Zion we really don't have a legit 4

We probably need to clean house if the problem is players playing dumb. A lot of games are won in the nba simply by having situational awareness and not making timely errors.

I’m fine with young players making mistakes, but at a certain point if they keep making the same mistakes over and over it’s probably time to cut bait with them and also the decision makers that were involved in bringing them in.

This franchise needs a total cleanse and reboot imo. They have almost done nothing right ever since Griffin got here and to think that we will magically turn it around is highly improbable.

I do feel bad for Willie. I think it’s tough to fairly evaluate him this season. Also, I stopped watching the games, so I don’t see every shitty rotation decision he makes, so I’m probably not the best judge of Willie there is here.

Good game so far, fellow Pellie Pals - Jaxson and NAW looking solid

No, they just need a leader.

Griff and Trajan know that, it's why they pushed so hard trying to get CP3, Lowry or Dinwiddie this off-season.

It's a team full of good guys, but like every other team we've had, we don't have guys that hate to lose. I think we've picked up 2 of them with Val and Herb, and you can tell Hart is getting fed up with the losing, but 3 guys don't make a team, and another issue is they are not really leaders.

Should be able to put a pretty good package together for D. Fox. If we can hold onto Graham in the process that would be great. Can play BI at his natural 3rd option spot with Zion, and Fox as the #1 and #2. Fill out the rest of the roster with hungry minimum/ low MLE guys

This game is showing you how valuable Valanciunas has been. He's single handedly kept us so many games. With him out, you can really see how bad this team's IQ is on the offensive end.

Why are we certain that Fox is a number two option? He’s not a good shooter and is used to be the sole catalyst.

Hart was the best piece out of the AD trade.

He's shown some elite ability at the position and can possibly improve his jumper. If he was a guaranteed #2 I dont think we'd be able to get him tbh. Sac just has a lot of guards and may be willing to move him for a nice price.

Man this is the first game I've been to in like 3 weeks. This arena is downright depressing these days.

Can you blame them?

There's no excitement from the team either, just going through the motions.

Watching BI, one has to wonder if he cares, he does not look like he gives 2 shits if they win or lose since returning from his injury

Do we think this team will be relocated? I’m not trolling, just a serious question.

Hope to god not, but I can’t imagine this team makes money.

They're not, they make money, every team in the league is profitable.

The league will expand in the next couple years, the expansion fees put more money into the owners/league's pocket than relocation.

Random thought, but isn't it kind of crazy how zion wore sweats and warmed up when we played the Knicks out of the blue and hasn't since. Only game of the season it seems. It's like a snake that bit you.

Hes wearing a suit today, actually doesn't look huge from where I'm sitting.

Eta; they're doing a houla hoop thing right now during break. A girl is competing against a recording of NAW houla hooping, Entire pels bench is staring at screen enthralled while Willie green talks to himself

If I'm not mistaken I've been seeing him in pregames going through drills when I watch them on league pass.

He probably just changes after warm ups
