Dallas and Cleveland fell off pretty hard as well after winning titles. And like us, it was mostly due to losing key starters.

Lol didn't Dallas let Chandler walk, in the hopes of getting Dwight Howard in Free agency?

yeah they thought they had become an FA destination after winning the title but their plan backfired. Kind of like us and our plan to lure Giannis here.

Everyone wants to **** on Pascal but at this point any failure of his is half on Nick for me. He does not in any way put Pascal in a position to succeed. He asks for too much from him on both ends every night and our system just does not run enough formal actions to get him better looks. Do you think the fact that almost all of Pascal's shots look bad is entirely his fault? Nick doesn't even take advantage of the double teams he gets at this point.

I'm tired of the FO pushing this role on him. I still think he holds a lot of value in a reduced role. I feel the exact same way about Fred. But if I had to trade one it would be Fred.

Can't crap on Nurse for overplaying our starters then crap on him for playing the only scrubs available to him. That's sadly our bench lol

He should mix it up so we don’t have 5 scrubs on the court at the same time

Pretty sure Siakam and Flynn, our 2 starters, were on.

We are that team that we used to clown during our championship year.

OG is the future of this franchise. Pascal has the worst attitude of a Max player.

I still say package him and this draft pick something.

Im sick of him as the 1st option. Really hope we're able to get a 1st scoring option soon.

Kawhi isn't coming back, and I don't know if we can get a scorer/shot creator for Siakam or VanVleet. Maybe?

I will never forget that premature thread someone made about Flynn

MixxSRC · Post #476 » by **MixxSRC** » Fri Apr 30, 2021 3:15 am

After a couple of good games...twitter peeps will say "and they said Siakam is bad"

Whatever the case may be, we can't have another season of Pascal being the first option.

Hoping this offseason will help us land those pieces via the draft and free agency. A legit starting center and a 1st scoring option will bump us to championship contention. Getting the 1st scoring option will obviously be the hardest part to get though.

Nurse has gone out his way to design plays to get pascal coming downhill. How can nick take advantage of the doubles he draws if pascal can’t make a good read?

Nurse has tried high post looks, pnr ball handled looks, roll man and even ISO’s. He’s let him close games after failing time and time again. I’d argue siakam leash is way too long.
