yeah, i don't know what it is, but this game moreso than any other am i beginning to lose my patience. i'm on the verge of becoming a "let's make some changes already" guy.
i want to see guys benched the moment they take a play off. i want to see guys making easy buckets, not just 3's. i want Otis to trade for someone who can bring some life to this team, because we sorely, sorely lack a leader who can get the whole team fired up.
It's way too tempting to hop on the bandwagon of bashers and the like. I'm exercising an unbelievable amount of restraint to even be defending these guys and rationalizing what is going on here. It's just tough to see something like this happening when you've had high expectations from the start.
There are very legitimate reasons why this team has struggled and I've brought those up several times already. I guess it's just hard to sit here and wait.
I'm with you on that man but really it's getting to be too much now. This team plays such uninspired ball for a championship contending team. There's no heart, no hustle, no desire, no killer instinct etc. I'm hoping they can pick up their play but you can't just be the kind've team to turn it on and off. The thing that's most disappointing about this team is the defense. Honestly, if this team could play defense even remotely as good as last year, they would have won many of these games that they lost.
At the same time I'll give credit to Portland, it didn't seem like they missed a shot out there tonight.
