At least we won a quarter. Seriously bad bench today.

Players out aside, it's gonna be a long season without some roster tweaks. Oomph.

Lacking talent is tough to overcome. Lacking talent and a bunch of injuries is impossible to overcome.

We're going to struggle if we have 5 guys sitting out.

nah i would have rather been wrong but unfortunately this team is not good :(


I wouldn't say that. Their best player has either sucked ass or been rested. Caleb their 4th best player and primary wing defender hasn't played. We need to see Caleb back and Butler playing like an allstar to really judge this team.
I'm not saying they are due for another finals run, I am just not ready to say they are bad considering what they have done in the playoffs past 5 seasons

Does Spo have a bet with someone for $1 that Drew Smith will be a good NBA player?
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

I need Dru and Lowry upgraded. Jimmy actually playing and playing like Jimmy. JRich and Highsmith back on the court to guard. And more of JJJ and Jovic.

I also need Bam and Herro to cook instead of looking cooked.

When in the tax, you gotta go with someone cheaper then a vet minimum.

Jovic with some good moments. He needs PT especially when Martin, Highsmith, etc are out

Not just in the tax… we are up against the 2nd apron… which makes maneuvering difficult.

Everyone told Spo he’s great and he truly believes it.


But he is. He's widely accepted as the best coach in the league. Name another coach who takes this team to 3 ECF and 2 finals

You're welcome LeBron.

Tyler Herro is a TURD.
Bam is NOT elite but is getting better.

Nah…he’s not a G-Leaguer so Spo won’t play him.

So we are judging Spo based on beginning of season games rather than his playoff performance. Spo has shown that regular season is a sandbox for him to test and try different things. When playoffs come around, he has hashed out different scenarios that work and he can throw at teams.

Shame on you who want to start to throw shade at Spo. Dude finally played a lineup of Herro, JJJ, Jovic, and Bam and y’all still upset at him.

Pat Riley knows he screwed up which is why he’s been in the witness protection program since the summer.
