Another team like the Lakers, Magic, Kings and Heat that will beat us athletically. We need to play smart and not turn the ball over. And cut down on contested fade aways by moving the ball.

With Gasol being out and Poeltl sucking bad he has really struggled and we are playing him like a 5 which he hates.

This was a depressing game. It is starting to sink in that this team is pretty bad and we don't have much chance of getting better.

Phoenix was yet another team that just made us look old and slow. Not sure what is up with Aldridge. Poeltl is pretty useless which is extremely disappointing. Cunningham and Pondexter are in the same boat as Mills. We are relying on them to do too much and they are in over their heads. Bertans just isn't getting any better. White is ok but just ok isn't going to help anything. Forbes is playing well but still doesn't do enough to effect the game. DeRozan is ok but he isn't a leader. If Patty Mills is this teams leader we are screwed.

Did Poeltl suck this game? Well, I don't think so. So why is it Jakobs fault, if Aldridge isn't hitting his shots? :lol:

Its not Poeltl's fault that Aldridge is sucking. No one said that. Aldridge seems to be in some kind of funk and I don't think he plays well when we don't have a serviceable big to play with him.

I've was excited about Poeltl but I think after seeing 13 games of him being useless that I have come to the conclusion he sucks...

It is basically the fault of both, that he has to play the Five. I gotta admit. Sure Aldrigde had two bad games, but he will turn the corner sooner or later.

As i said some weeks ago. Jakob needs more time to get himself going in a new team/Environment. He was useless, this is correct. But he got it going the last two games and his performances will only get better.

I think we might be the worst team in the conference. I'm not sure who we can claim to be better than at this point.

And I don't know what Poeltl brings to the table. Is there one thing he actually does well?

Any team that's playing Cunningham 25 mins a game in 2018 (or any year, really) can't expect to win many games.

Mills might just be the team's leader. As alluded above, this is probably not a good thing. But to his credit, at least he's playing with some fire. Others look listless, like it's March already.

When's LW4 available? We need a serious dose of energy and athleticism.
