This team is crap. Mitch isn’t going to save it. Should’ve just run it back.

But yes 3 point defense is the problem. Nothing to do with our awful individual defense and inability to stop anybody from killing us in the paint

That’s called losing Hartenstein.

It’s a huge loss people took for granted.


Mitch is close enough to Hartenstein IF he can stay healthy.

This will really ring in Leon Rose's brain.

Keep Mitch and go after Kessler #1 , Knick Richards #2.

Always blaming the HC when we lose makes you look really slow. Just saying. This one is on the players. Can't shoot 3s and rebound like that and expect to win. Thibs can't shoot and rebound for the players!

As good as KAT is he's a huge liability on the defensive end. Like absolutely clueless liability. He's never in the position where he needs to be.

Randle had 41 points in the last nba cup game he busted his ass trying to win it for the city. Everyone on this team got paid nobody cares. If I was Jacob Toppin or Matt Ryan I’d punch a dude in the face in the locker room
