Neither Vonleh or Bell have shown any indication they can defend full sized centers. They may be able to switch a bit, but they have both been dominated by centers in the post.

Hopefully Ryan is putting 70 percent of his checks straight into savings. Dude may be out of a job in 6 months. He will be the one to take the heat if we do horribly this season.

The problem with our squad, and Jim Pete is just now bringing this up as I'm typing, we have lost A LOT of solid guys. We no longer have the savvy vet play of players like Rose and Gibson. Those guys were not world beaters on their own but they knew so many basketball things. They made few mistakes. Right now our veteran guys are the same players who were the young guys who knew so little a few years ago.

That alone is a big factor against us. We will probably pretty air headed BBIQ wise. No veteran calming presence, no adults in the room to clean things up. I'm a believer in needing solid vets. Our in house vets just don't have it in them to lead a team in that way IMO.

This is far worse than even joked about ... if Wiggins don’t score he is totally worthless. Okogie plays without a brain. Teague looks like he is a pickup from d-league. No defensive backbone. No legit shooter. No go to. Horrible ... simply horrible.

We have had a lot of crap performances tonight, but RoCo bringing it for the third time in a row.

If we come back to win this it's game of the year.

I looked a second ago and we were down 9. Now we're down 26. WTF happened?

The lack of shooting is a def con 5 problem. Don't know what we are going to do about it. We will def have games where we are better than this but man its probably going to be poor all season. Even the other lower level teams can probably all shoot better than us. Super duper need to get shooting.

Rosas talks big game about bringing a modern offense to the team. I don't see many adequate 3 point shooters on this team.

Offense may be there but you got to have the personnel to execute it.

Tough to watch these games without them doing something about Wiggins

Exactly, and assembling a roster to fit that vision should be Rosa's #1 priority. I haven't seen much progress this offseason in that regard, have you?

He doesn't have a lot of options. We really screwed the pooch financially.

I wish that Saunders would do one thing that indicates his intelligence or leadership. So far he's a company man, going along with the program.

He will be forced to make some clearing house moves ... this is beyond ugly

Wigs+Teague+Dieng are 60% of the cap and were awful on both sides off the floor. They need to do much better if we want to win 40 games. Teague and Wiggins suck the soul out of their teammates. Ryan should bench them if they aren't playing well.

Roco, Napier and Martin (in a more limited role) played well.

Culver should be useful but will have rough nights. Okogie and Layman need to keep improving his shooting or aren't going to help much.

KAT is improving as a passer but we need him to take more shots, hopefully of Wiggins.
