We don’t have the right personnel for any style of play

Then play Ware for development purposes. What’s to lose.

I’ve seen enough of the 3 ball now to confidently say it needs to be 3s or layups (just like we see with Herro) for Bam going forward. Too many tough contested looks over multiple players every game. Unfortunately no one can get him easy looks so the coaching staff just needs to tell him to put his head down and get to the rim and draw contact or shoot the 3. He’s got to snap out of this funk and the best way to do it is making it easier on yourself and getting to the free throw line to see the ball go through

I would sit Jimmy for his physical health and Bam for his mental health tomorrow night.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

3 more games at this pace and it may be time to start talking about breaking up this core

We don’t have the right personnel for any style of play

No PF’s with size or Centers capable of playing next to Bam that Spo deems worthy and not one playmaking distributing PG that can break down a defense for easy baskets. Just the worst roster construction imaginable. It’s Spo and the front office position less garbage.


Position less got nothing to do with it. Jimmy ain't a top 10, top 15 player anymore. Bam not a 1st or 2nd and right now not even a 3rd option. Herro is trying but till his handles get better, at the moment he's a 3rd option. Whether you play small or big, you need an all nba guy to build your team around. We don't have that person. Getting better role players won't fix that. FO need to realize Jimmy core is done and now need figure out how to get a legit top 10 guy. Ingram, Lavine and guys like that don't count. Need that next tier of stardorm

This team is way beyond just improving the edges. So many players are just outright struggling and playing uninspiring basketball

Too many guys who do nothing more times than not.

What does Jaime do for us now? He’s regressed. Highsmith is hit or miss offensively but he’s 1 of 2 defenders we have.

Love is hit or miss shouldn’t even be in a legit rotation anymore so not even on him tbh

Burks I feel almost always gets it going when he comes in idk why we don’t see more?

Without looking Duncan seems solid and at least brings gravity

Terry is sporadic

Jovic, Ware, Larson, JRich, etc. you just never know what to expect from any of them ever. It’s a team with a massive talent deficit outside of the top 4 imo

What more do we need to see lol? We’ve needed to add a 3 level scorer to it for years but have been unwilling/unable to do so

Terry gotta go.

Happy to see Herro performing tho, might take Bam's Allstar spot
Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

They’re not having fun and in return they’re not playing free

Spo trying every lineup in the book, with some of the worst combos ever really hurts confidence and consistency. We are seeing some guys step up in their roles but our big dogs are more bark than bite.

Jimmy is an old man now. He is trying to play smart basketball to keep getting stats, but he can not control games every night. There is no identity of style of play with this team.

All this criticism of Rozier, Highsmith, Jaime, etc. But the team would be comfortably above .500 if Bam wasn’t playing like ass to start the year.

Bams been criticized too lol more than anyone actually and rightfully so he needs to snap out of it but they could also be 6 games below .500 without his defense so it goes both ways. Best defense in the league when he’s on the court, bottom 5 when he’s off

I have a bad feeling Jimmy tore his meniscus or something.
