We need to ban switching Rob from switching onto guards from now on

Give me a break with this trash. He’s a large part of the problem. How many turnovers did he have within 3 feet of the hoop? Great players don’t have trash performances

This may have been the most pathetic game I've ever seen.

LOL, yeah 2 games into the season let's just give up on the season and trash the team.

"can't win"

lol



I'm talking about strategy. We went small vs Knicks who went big we lost. We go big with Al back vs small lineup we lose.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Why?

We got Schroder and Pritchard protecting the rim and rebounding.

Just look at the top 2 PGs.

Both Smart and Schroder combined for only 1 FG made in this game.

In today's NBA, you're not going to win many games if the PG play is that bad.

how many times do I have to mention KL and PG13 before people stop saying that? I'm not questioning whether you watch other teams, I'm simply saying that is false!

lol. You've got your own great young 3/4 in MPJ you don't need him. But yeah, imho we'll be fielding offers from the highest bidders by next Summer. Should net us a couple potential studs and multiple unprotected 1sts. Just gotta hit on those picks. Might be a total rebuild at that point
