I am not drawing conclusions based off of one game jesus.

Drawing conclusions from any game since Scottie went down...is pointless.

Hell...drawing conclusions from this mess of a season is pointless. Clearly a trade was needed and a shake-up of the roster was needed ever since last summer...so while I'm disappointed we didn't start the season well...once the trades started happening you had expect the team to take a step back. Too much change all at once. Too many guys playing for their next contracts. Not enough time to gel before Scottie went down and once that happened...everyone knew the tank was going to happen.

No point drawing any conclusions from this season.

A lot of people here thinks it's a one year tank and we will be back to being good in like 1 year or 2 :lol: :lol:


I think a lot of people are just anticipating what Masai is going to inevitably do and that’s make some win now moves in the off season. Tank is done after this season I’d lay a bet365 on it.

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

remember when it took until February 26th to have a 3-game winning streak for this team :lol:

it was before Scottie's injury, so we are allowed to discuss that.

Who fn cares. Bring on the (hopefully) 3 picks. This season is toast so it is just suffering at this point to get to the lotto. We will get there but Silverland might deny us the pick on account of 1. upsetting James Dolan by stealing his soul which he calls intellectual property. 2. Coach going extra postal on the officials. 3. Jontay walking away with countless hustled millions. 4. Blatant tanking and DNPing everyone and their Uncle. If we swing and miss our lotto pick then draft night deals it is. Lots of players to like in this draft but no real stars. Yet......

I think MLSE is hurting for money so they probably keep him around instead of having to pay him.

I dont live my life throwing away information . That makes zero sense. You dont seem to understand this very basic concept despite me explaining it on 5 different ways. Be well

No coach could take the roster we've had without Scottie, Jakob, RJ and Quick and have success with it. So...what information could you possibly draw from that? I'm sorry but when you're starting Jevon Freeman-Liberty along with Gradey, Bruce Brown, McDaniels and Olynyk...that's not winning against anyone. We already know this...yet you think you can get anything else out of that?

Were any players foot out the door at that time? Just wondering because darko had to deal with that too.

It's great when your team is 2nd in the league for most different starting line-ups this season. The roster has been a revolving door all season long. But sure...we're expecting great success when that happens.

Championship teams are the ones when every other game there's a guy traded/called up/shifted up the depth chart. Right. :lol:

Once again...there is no information to gain or throw away from a wasted season for a team that's clearly shifting directions mid-season.

I agree and am on record having said that a few posts above.

Changes needed to be made 2 summers ago. Front office **** up not trading Pascal to this past summer ATL when it's possible that the offer might have been a better. Starting the season and hoping that Dennis Schroeder would lead us to the playoffs was stupid and short-sighted by Masai.

I'm happy we made those trades eventually and I think bringing back RJ and Quick likely means we won't be Detroit-level bad for the next 5 years.
