I didnt ‘turn’. This was a gradual long sweeping curve. We got exposed last yr. Pels beat us up and Mavs curb stomped us….. then Jones did essentially nothing in the offseason.
Youd think that after this last de ja vu week, even the most optimistic orange shader would acknowledge concern. We have more than just shooting woes and spot injuries.
Jones’ all in is almost all out.
It is concerning, but CP3 had been out until recently, Torrey went down, CamJ is out, Book is out, CamP just went down. And we have a starter from last season pouting at home, much like you.
And I'm living in the past? That's rich coming from you, Frank. You act like we've actually had teams that were better than this one by a large margin, and that this team doesn't stack up. I'm just enjoying seeing guys like Booker and Mikal and, yes, even Ayton figure out the NBA, see their successes and failures, just like I did with the Nash-era Suns. When this team is healthy, we play a beautiful, fun, exciting, and competitive brand of basketball.
Sorry if a 5 game losing streak doesn't turn me into a pruny old curmudgeon like you.
Oh i see
Admonish me for my longevity.
Off the top of my head i can think of 5-6 teams significantly better than this current roster. This team is not last yr’s team (which was better but not included in my curmudgeonly hasty assessment) and its short of two yrs ago as well. But my sample size is considerable compared to most here.
And for the record, this team doesnt stack up, for a number of reasons. But having Book makes every game winnable and usually watchable. Not so much with his hit or miss support staff. Really tho, Im not so sure what this ‘brand’ if basketball is. I kind of dub it the CP experiment. More so the end of the CP experiment. But apparently its flowery enough to over look the current glaring holes which will inhibit any significant post season showing. Accept it or not, some significant changes are due.
So keep on watching. Sorry i cant ooo and ahhh with you. Im sure some feel good moments are coming but get that ‘participation trophy’ polished up. Im sure Book will love it.
You must love those participation trophies, as that's all this franchise has ever received and you're still here, acting superior because you have the most.
Was Barkley's participation trophy the most special on your shelf?
