Last few seasons with jimmy, it didn’t matter if we got blown out by teams in Regular season coz we knew in the play offs we are a different animal with jimmy and can beat anyone in the league.. we don’t even have that no more… RIP playoffs heat jimmy

I’ll prefer to take my losses with guys who shouldn’t be playing glued to the bench as opposed to playing loads of minutes.

Mitchell
Herro
Wiggins
Adebayo
Ware

No issue with that as a starting group.

Bench unit should be:

Burks
Larsson/Jagsmith
Robinson
Jovic

Possibly Jaime if foul trouble, he's just been real bad this season sadly.

With one of Ware or Adebayo on the floor at all times. This is mandatory.

We’ve assembled a team of absolute brick layers

Spo made the right move benching Anderson in the 2nd half. Now he needs to do the same with Terry.

They’re yes men, the only one that would even attempt to ask a question like that is Ira.

We had a good first quarter, I'll take it. Want some more looks at Anderson, but I get it with the lack of offense

Hope Ware finds something soon

He’s not going to be benched. Definitely an edict to play him by the front office

We're still so wing heavy. The starting unit is ok with everyone available but still no backup Center or PG which is tough.

Every 3 games or so, they do something historically bad, so it seems


Sounds like trending to be a historically all-time bad team if thats the case


Personally, I’m hoping that the “so it seems” part actually becomes reality.

What say u?

This is so true. Our time as a playoff threat has unfortunately concluded. We may make the playoffs but we're likely looking at a non-competitive first round series in which we lose in no more than 5 games.

Hopefully we can land another star player either this offseason or the next one to put us back into contendership.

Also, not feeling Ware out behind the arc.. not that he did much in the paint anyways but i want our 7 foot player stationed at the paint along with Bam..

Yeah i want to see Anderson a little more too. He just didn’t look comfortable out there tonight.

Hes a heliocentric player. He wants to be the center of the offense, but impacts the team negatively. Players hoist quick shots when on the floor because he sets the tone as the high usg guy and the floor general. He also doesnt do anything off ball other than to stagnate the offense. So, the team loses any kind of "team" rhythm on both sides of the floor. Hes a losing player if given a big role. Only my impression after 1 game, so could be totally off base.

Bro this is what we have been suffering through.


He's a momentum changer, I imagine Jimmy would offset that swing by slowing the game down.

The team just gravitates to Rozier because there's no hierarchy. It looks exactly the same as when Schroeder got traded to the Warriors.

Spo will learn that he needs to force feed wiggins. Like I said, immensely frustrating player, because he won't imprint his will on the game until you make him. Which is what Kerr did to write the ship. Schroeder changed to keep deferring to wiggins and that's when the Warriors started their little run and string some wins together.

If you play him like he's a Dorian Finney Smith, he'll play that way. Spot up 3s and swing the ball. He just didn't have his 3 ball.

For a veteran guard Rozier can't run a single offensive set
