The starting lineup has put us in the hole every game.

I’m not saying I want to trade Franz, because I don’t. But I’m no longer in complete opposition to the idea of moving him in the right trade.

literally was the reason we won last game lol

That being said, Fultz cannot be a starter if this team wants to go anywhere, but the answer isn't on this roster just yet

Nas Reid on Cole Anthony is an epic fail. Should never happen

That's gonna be off Franz, but I don't see how that isn't a foul. Sure looked like a karate chop.

They had a stretch in the 3rd quarter, but I believe we were down double digits in the 1st.

Just feels like a weird statement to say at this point.

I mean, sure, but what is a "good deal"? What caliber of player? If someone is saying Ant Edwards or someone, of course.

Our recent play says otherwise, 4-6 in our last 10 games. We're not a good team functionally right now.


You have to take into account schedule.


I did, but this team as of right now doesn't inspire me at all and just look at the teams 6 thru 11. We battling those teams for position and I don't feel like we can just walk in and beat any of them. Brooklyn has our number too.

IND
Indiana Pacers
7
MIA
Miami Heat

That’s my biggest gripe. The team needs points, even if they come from super low % heaves at the buzzer more than Cole needs to protect his %’s. What happened to his confidence where he wouldn’t hesitate to put that shot up?
