Do we have a gameplan and can't execute it, or we don't even have a plan? I really can't make up my mind...

I know. Our guards seem to take turns looking good, but when there is no passing, or when someone has a decent amount of assists it comes with a crapload of turnovers too, it's just never going to work.

We also miss Warren BIG time. If you're not going to play team ball and move the ball, a guy like him that can clean up misses and make buckets without having plays run for him is one thing that really helps. With him we are just a below average team. Without him we are the worst team in the league.

I think our guards have their own plans.

It's not like we have too many options on the wings with TJ and Dudley injured and Bender playing like a total scrub.

It is very difficult to give assists without players that can score inside, all teams know well our ability to play there. We need a player of this style, unfortunately Alex, chandler and Cris does not have this characteristic. Bledsoe and Booker with someone who could do that would have more space and would get much better.

Refuse to watch another game ever again. We have to be the laughingstock of the league, at the least the tank is in full effect

I'm sure they'd find a way to **** that up too. It will end up being a Bowie over Jordan type situation.

I'm sure Chriss would be lighting it up if given the chance

The whole bench was terrible when they all played together though. Bender was fine when he subbed in with the starters, but when it was all the bench guys, no one played well. The only guy playing fairly well individually is Bledsoe, but it comes at the expense of everyone who is out there with him as they stand around and watch (of course they stand around and watch Knight even moreso usually).

Damn, forgot we played early today.

Judging by the score, the Suns may have as well.

4 assists in the first half. Enough said.

I want Bledsoe and Knight out of the team. This is the first time that I really want Bledsoe out and try to bring another PG to work with Booker and Warren in the starting lineup. It's OK if that PG it's a Top 5 pick next year, we can start Ulis the rest of the season because he at least knows how to pass the ball.

Knight is just a terrible basketball player. I think he is just crazy. Does he know that there are other four players on the court with him?!

I think Popovich would run out of timeouts in the first quarter with some of the stuff we do. That's how bad we're fundamentally.

My bigger point is why are they burning minutes on guys like chandler. They get killed either way so use these as developmental minutes for guys that might actually be here when this team is good again.

I hope they lose like 10 in a row and so even internally they stop pretending that this dumb ass collection of players can compete for anything.

Watson won't change anything and the second half will be just as unwatchable. Might as well start throwing more sh*t at the wall in hopes of it sticking
