This season to date is arguably(I'd say absolutely lol) worse than the last 2.

Last 2 seasons you could use the Zion excuse and think we could be a contender if he was just healthy.

Now he's healthy, and we're an 8 seed on pace for 45 wins.

To date, what we've learned through 47 games thus far is worse than anything we've learned the previous 5 seasons.

We have a chance to turn it around in the last 35 games, I just don't know why I should have much confidence that we'll turn it around. it feels like we're in a dog fight to try to be better than a 7 seed/play in.

I think the depressing thing is that healthy Zion and BI are only worth 3 extra wins. That is fricking pathetic

Yeah but you have to ask how much of this is coaching, bad chemistry between stars (BI/Zion) - for instance would we win more games if one wasn’t there, and bad role players (I don’t think this is the issue). There’s talent on this team but it doesn’t fit and is coached horribly wrong.

You are right. We are absolutely terrible down the stretch of close games. This is the biggest indictment on the coaching of this team. They have not been able to identify a go to set. Hell, they have no idea who they should play, much less who should have the ball and what they should be doing. When your coaching staff doesn't have a vision it leads to chaos, especially at the end of a close game on the road.

Tired of this team doing everything to build around Zion when he's about as reliable as a sheetrocker.

Coaching is the issue. A trade won’t fix that

You really must not watch the games. We had a 11 point lead (in fairness due largely to Zion dominating offensively). Then he doesn’t grab a rebound right to him; gets lazy and goes underneath a screen and gives up a wide open three to Hauser; then misses a shot right at the rim and then doesn’t get back on defense and gives up an easy layup; and the Celtics are off and rolling. He wad gassed because he had played 7 straight minutes (with the 4th quarter break in the middle). His lack of being in shape shows most in his rebounding. He just consistently gets out worked by opposing players on the glass. How else do you explain a mountain of a man like Zion having 1 rebound, 2 rebound, 3 rebound and 4 rebound games where he’s playing around 30 minutes? He can’t maintain maximum effort because he’s not in good enough shape.
