It sure isn't but Coach Mose definitely gotta shorten this rotation down. Feelings will be hurt but it is what it is.

Moe Wagner it is then.... Please have a seat at the end of the bench sir.
:lol:

God forbid we put onus on the players.

I mean, I can't believe all the different lineup changes were tactical, and if they were it certainly didn't work.

That was awful... but I have to give credit to the heat they kill you with such attention to detail. Their defense is so particular and they always move the ball offensively. It's amazing basketball by a well coached team.

But ffs, folks. Team is 16-9, mostly without 2-3 starters. Little early to start leaping from balconies. The slump will pass. This isn’t a 60+ win team, but 50 is absolutely possible.

And just maybe this FO will make a meaningful move at the deadline.

He better not be scared to cut this rotation down.

I don't want a Kia anymore.

Fultz is at fault for us losing right now. When are we going to move on from him???

I don't like an 11 man rotation but he's trying to find anything that works - also WCJ is on a minutes restriction so they weren't going to cut out Goga or Moe completely this game.

The bad three point shooting is because we're a bad shooting team though. Nothing to do with lineups. Our defense is not playing up to snuff at all, especially that run at the end.

Since we're throwing in random line up I'd try out defensive : Ab, Suggs, JI, PB and Goga.

I was not prepared for that last two minutes of the half, this is bad. Our defense isn’t the same, looking real 2022.

If Paolo could stop dribbling the air out of the ball AND jumping to pass instead of being patient, would be much appreciated.

Rainwater · Post #195 » by **Rainwater** » Thu Dec 21, 2023 1:20 am

I love that Paolo is playing point Forward and setting up his teammate but I really wish he was more aggressive on the offensive end.

I mean this team got hot when nobody expected to. Now they're playing against teams (good teams at that) that are ready to battle them and have more game tape on how to play them. It's about how this young team responds to teams adjusting to their winning formula.

I think highsmith had 3 3pt attempts with nobody near him, pretty much a practice shot because our defense is so concerned about drives when they're not a driving team
