The offense really is shockingly bad, the Bahama wolves who had no shooters were not this bad scoring the ball. It really is quite bizarre, even Ryan Saunders had a much better offensive flow than this. Again, Finch is going to have to make some kind of adjustment. It really should not be this stagnant.

My goodness Mobley. Someone that size should not be able to move that quick. I'd trade anyone for him right now. Gonna be a complete monster.


If I had to take on player from this draft, it’s Mobley. He’s just going to win. Does everything. Cavs wouldn’t trade him for Ant.


I know. He's anchoring that defense at such a young age along with Jarrett Allen. Unfair how they have 2 paint defenders and we have zero :banghead:

I know this won't make anyone feel better but believe me, the offense cannot be this bad. It is outrageously bad right now but it won't be this way all season. Poor play this level is not sustainable lol.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over knowing the results.


This team should not shoot more than 10 3s a game unless you’re absolutely open or there’s no time on game clock or shot clock

So we shoot 51 and missed 34 of them. Anyone who shoots out of line gets benched for layman

Ant and Beasley shot a 30 freaking 3s

On a night Paul George shot 4-20 and you lost by 20

Did you even watch the game? Kat puts up 20 and 8 while shooting 7 of 11 from the field. Fighting through double teams and you blame him. :banghead:

Maybe if a few other guys put up 20 and 8 we'd win a game or two.

This team misses Dlo’s ability to create, shoot, and just run offense.

0-3 since his injury

How bad is it when the guy who routinely went 1-10 shooting is badly missed because you can’t do crap without him

1.) When a team goes 6 mins without making a FG, that is on the coach. He doesn’t have a GOOD play he can call to get us a easy bucket.

2.)Ant doesn’t need to have more than 5 3PA per game. He is settling and I understand it’s hard to drive when Vando is sitting in the paint.

3.) We are offensively handicapped because McDaniels, Vando and Beverly are non factors. Nobody can create their own shot outside of DLo and Nowell

4.) KAT and company can’t read a double team to save their life. Instead of picking up the ball up when the double comes he needs to try and dribble away then make the right pass.

That's right. It's glaringly obvious. Maybe fans will realize that.

The ball didn't move and too many guys wanted to do it all themselves.

This is true. The ball just doesn’t move. And it feeds on itself. If you haven’t touched the ball in a few possessions, you’re more likely to jack up a shot or try and go one on one than if you’re getting shots and making passes in a flow.

Ant is probably the worst offender. He is a true ball stopper.

Lots of truth there.

It's hard for Kat to pass out of a double team when his team mates just and around. Nobody moves without the ball. Where are the cutters?
