Watch out for a hectic offseason for our sleepy Weltmann! He’s got the monumental task of declining a whopping four(!) team options, Moritz, Gary, Cory, and Caleb will all be back. What a grind! No wonder he needed to rest during the trade deadline.

Thank goodness we already have 15 players under contract for next year. I'd be deeply concerned for his well-being if he actually had to find one more friend to join the squad. That level of exertion would be just too much for our sleepy Weltmann.

The top 6 players have missed a combined 111 games out a possible 318. We've basically averaged missing over 2 of our 6 best players the entire season...and we are only 2 games out of the 6 seed and 4.5 games out of home court for round 1.

It's disappointing that Paolo hasn't looked quite as dominant as he did at the start. We need to find a way to optimize Franz and Paolo together, and it will create open shots, and they will eventually fall. This team isn't the worst shooting team of the last quarter century.

Suggs will be a huge boost. Mo's absence is going to continue to hurt, personally i underestimated how much he brought last year(s).

There are some wins on the schedule, and i expect we get on a bit of a run here. Need Suggs back and shots to fall.

It's way too late to throw in the towel.

They already have 25 wins and they still have 13 games remaining against the dregs of the league.

They're gonna win at least 10 more games, and really probably 15 more is their worst case scenario.

We need new management. Period. Someone who has a vision. Someone who can see what we got, what we need, and build it correctly without taking 5 years to evaluate.
