We are playing like we want to try to shoot 40 3’s instead of it just happening organically within our offense.


Lot of these 3s are wide arse open. We’re missing everything. They’re not bad threes.

Zion has had Beal or Gordon sealed at the rim on 5 possessions in the 2nd half. CJ has taken 5 shots on those possessions.

We have a grand total of zero points on those possessions.

This deep roster is desperately missing a star. If we had that, we’d be the best team in the league. That’s on Zion, and our FO for how they’ve handled his development, that he is not that star

You give Luka this roster and he sleep walks to the WCF

The team best players lack heart. They don't have that competitive edge.

It’s apparent and should be obvious to the organization that Pels are not true contenders .

In the last week-10 days Pels have been smashed by Clips , Nuggs, and PHX - the teams that you would imagine would be the 3 favorites cone playoff time

Heart has nothing to do with it. They just aren’t talented enough

They have the talent. They just don't have the will.

Well this organization thinks BI is the star- and hes played like shite.


That’s part of it, but Zion deserves some blame this season for never looking like he even wants to take the reins.

The FO should consider trading for a star if available. We wont though so im hoping for a 2nd round exit.

The difference between Zion and Ingram and a legit top 10 player is more important than whatever heart they lack. There’s an ocean between them and an Embiid or Jokic

Why try? He took the reigns last season and had this team first in the west and with the best record they ever had, just for the team to continue to Ingram is the leader talk

Seriously, what the hell should Zion do? He has been WIDE OPEN on seals with Grayson Allen, Bradley Beal, and Eric Gordon on him all damn game. He scores six straight and he gets taken out. This is my issue. We have let Phoenix off the hook. Terrible. But again, this organization doesn’t even realize who the best player on the roster is so it’s not surprising.

They have the talent 2-12, but they don’t have a #1 that any team with deep playoff aspirations should have

But heart, effort, whatever you want to call it is a big part of it too. These guys have to want it. I just dont see that.

The difference is the elites don't sit there and wait until the game is out of reach before trying to take over.

I think a lot have been bad threes.
BI ignored Zion in the paint with Beal on his back and we ended up with a bad Herb corner 3.

Way too many threes with out any passes being made. Or bad passes to an open guy who still shoots it. If you catch the ball at your feet, don’t shoot it. Pump fake and drive to the goal. Percentages go way up when you receive a good pass before shooting a 3. There’s a lot of no look shite passes leading to threes today.

This shoot 40 threes a game is bs. You shoot that many if they’re falling. A made two is worth more than a missed three.
