Raps fans are unplayable 

Post#1 » by Valard » Mon Dec 10, 2018 2:38 am

We are still in first despite our own woes.

Every team has had their problems... we aren't immune to it.

Relax.

At least give it until the all star break before crying to trade every guy on the roster.

The sky is falling after every loss. It's pathetic.

Agreed

Our fan base is intolerable

I'm pretty sure we're more playable than Lowry right now.

Because we scored 0 points tonight like Lowry? Ok

I don't see the need to shield this board of criticism towards our roster, it may be sensational at times but that comes with the territory of an online message board.

Just take the posts/threads you like and try to not let reactionary trade threads ruin your day. Thats my advice anyways.

Our second best player is averaging 5 PPG on 19% shooting since November 29th.

Our team is shooting 34% from 3 this season, good enough for 21st in the NBA.

These aren't problems we can gloss over. We have a good record because our defence is elite and Kawhi is a monster. But you aren't making a deep playoff run with just one scorer and no outside shooting.

The more we lose the more likely Beal becomes a Raptor.

If guys on our team can even make shots on average pace we'd be 25-3. Literally every game we've lost we've had 1 or more key players shooting way too many bricks. I don't think anyone's beating a healthy GSW, but if we shoot at an average pace we're the representative for the Eastern Conference in the Finals (barring someone or some team going full God mode).

This is the mentality that led to 3 straight years of playoff failure, and will lead to the same again this year.

Our fans can be pretty bad a lot of times but the way this team is structured is very concerning. We have no consistent option 2nd night to night. Lowry's play is inexcusable. It's one thing when you're in a slump but when you start passing up shots? Just stay on the bench at that point. Some people are saying that Lowry is injured as well. If so, he needs to sit out and rest up. If the coaching staff is aware that he is injured and just letting their stubborn leader play out there hurt then shame on them.

Or perhaps the players responded the same way as their fans... jumped off a cliff when the smallest of nuggets nicked a fan blade.

First sensible thread of the week. Thank you.

Complete expected this type of stretch. We will figure it out.

Best record doesn’t mean jack ****. Kawhi is a superstar , but his supporting cast is letting him down- specifically the dude making 30 million/year playing like dog **** .

Act like it’s all fine and dandy until the post-season comes and teams force the ball out of Kawhi’s hands is stupid. Team needs to get better now

OP is right

Its ok losing to the nets
Its ok losing to the bucks
its ok getting embarassed in the playoffs for like the 5th time.

Nobody is overreacting. Losses wouldn't be bad if it was bad shooting every once in a while. We're losing games based on stupidity (Nurse), softness (Jv) or choking (lowry).

The internet brings in the most unstable. A couple tough losses in a long season, a slump from our PG and the we are the worst team on RealGM

We are missing 2nd scorer needed in order to dominate the majority and compete at the top. Otherwise we have one of the best teams in the League, but not championship material.

THIS. The OP and those in agreement either don't watch this team regularly, wear rose colored glasses, or are flat out oblivious to the issues of the team are in denial.
