This board remains trash with mostly football fans checking back in and out

Ask questions. Don't assume when you simply don't know.

You can count on one hand how many games we've been blown out in. Early in the season, we lost like 4 or 5 games in OT (in a row)

It's injuries, it's youth, it's momentum...it's a lot. The fact that this team is 3 games over .500 right now with all that's plagued them (every starter has been out for some amount of time) is amazing.

This team can be very good as we all know. We need to get healthy to be a force.

We move the goalposts with each loss.

No one should be rationalizing a 7-game losing streak.

A lot of the people I’ve seen complain on here about how this team has been lately and how we NEED to make a roster change are people who have been on here for a while. Including myself. We need shooting and rim protection. Herb is arse. Graham is arse. Jaxson is arse. Billy ain’t shite. We have too many “defensive minded” guys who can’t score for shite and we have Trey who is completely nonexistent 50% of the season so far. Willie has zero trust in JV late game and his rotations have been absolute dog shite. Willie hasn’t been good enough either.

Where is Zion? Have had BI back for 2-3 games?

Relax, fan. This sucks, but it makes sense.

What I'm pissed off about right now is why Willie Green didn't challenge that foul on Nance. That killed our momentum.

It's 2 games over .500 and 15 games ago we were 11 games over .500.

We've had our big 3 healthy for 10 out of 50 games, why would you be confident that we'll have a long string of health from all 3 simultaneously?

That you're asking the question and don't realize that IS the problem is quite interesting.

Hurt. Just like he was all last season, and we still had one of the better records in the NBA for the second half of the season.

Zion being out is obviously a part of this, but the problems with this team right now run deeper than just him being absent.

Losing to the Wizards at home makes zero sense.

Yeah I’m getting tired of people saying “just wait until we’re healthy”. We’ve never been healthy for years now. This shite is played out.


Even if we were healthy we still need more shooters and rim protectors.

He's doing his best with what he has.

This same roster was one of if not the deepest in the NBA when we were remotely healthy.

Btw, the Wizards were missing Porzingis today and Beal has recently come back from an injury. They seemed to be able to play through it.

So our best players won't get hurt because teams best players don't get hurt after the all star break, is that your assertion?

These are not excuses for a 7 game (soon to be 10) losing streak!!

The absolute worst teams in the league don’t lose 7 in a row. Injuries aren’t an excuse. We aren’t playing solid fundamentals.

No one can fricking rebound, no one can shoot, movement is awful, D is awful.

Sure we won’t be at our best with our best players out… but other teams pull off fricking wins here and there. We don’t even look competitive recently. It’s embarrassing and absolute dog shite inexcusable play.

This team is very good together when 100% healthy. We can't forget that not even halfway through the season..

Since we traded for CJ, we've had our best 3 players play in the same game 10 out of 80 times.

But hey, let's put all our eggs in that basket.

My assertion is that players on good teams who don't have to play every game...don't play. Load management.

Like I said in another thread, we are deep in that we have dudes that if we released them for whatever reason, they would still find a team to take them and play them.

The problem is that we have too many guys that do the same thing, which doesn't compliment one another when they are on the floor at the same time.

Cool, so we just have to do the thing we have never been able to consistently do.


Great, what could go wrong...
