Lol at Jovic being suspended before he even logs a minute of game time

It's hilarious that Jovic was suspended for a game that he might have actually played a little.
We are in trouble gentlemen. We have all the same problems that we did last season, but worse. Duncan can't seem to do well enough to get off the bench for more than 15 minutes a game. Bam is still inconsistent and is not the offensive force that I hoped he would be given the offense was supposed to focus on him more. Oladipo was supposed to be the sparkplug off the bench with Tyler in the starting lineup, and god knows when he is going to play or for how long. The man is made of glass. Caleb at the 4, from what I've seen is not really an option. Kyle isn't shooting well enough or getting enough assists. We proved that we can very easily damn near lose a game we have in hand by almost 30 points, so we still have those droughts. Its only game 3 so its too early to panic, but its looking eerily similar to the problems we've always had. They need to jump on it now and adjust.

Caleb and Jovic gone for next game.
Big mistake by Caleb, this could potentially spell the end of Caleb starting since it gives Spo a chance to go with a different look. Strus at the 4 was already looking more promising than Caleb…
Might need Cain on the active roster for this one.
Agreed, I’ve been wanting to see him anyway. Highsmith es basura

This season is starting on such a negative note. Nothing seems to be going to plan but seriously we're not even 5 games in yet so anything can and will still happen.
I agree there's already a frustrating and repressed tone about the team. I think it may just be hangover from the horrible house of lies the franchise just went through in Twitter propaganda.

With no Caleb or Jovic, it’s really going to come down to Strus and Duncan hitting threes and not getting totally abused on the other end. Which they will, particularly in Duncan’s case. Strus Atleast gets his body in the right position to take charges and can contain his man, Duncan is just a traffic cone on a green light to the basket. We do neither any favours getting isolated by Siakam, or having Bam switch on the guard leaving our midget crew to try body out bigs on the glass.
Wish we had Yurt, but it seems he’s going to be out a while. Ankle impingements suck.

Might take some time before spo utilizes this as a 1st option. Problem is that it hasn't been scouted much yet.

Highsmith at the 5 over Jovic?!
4 or 5 guys with more shots than Bam?!
Gabe with 8 shots in the 4th compared to a combined 5 from Herro and Bam?!
Just crazy to me. We’ll see how he adjusts this game.
Last game should’ve been monster 30+ point games for both Herro and Bam and the game that gave us a lot of momentum and confidence in those 2 having truly taken the next step in their games. Spo fumbled it.
My prophecy is coming to light. Finally some of you are opening your eyes. Bad coaching moves have been happening for awhile now, actually since he became our coach. We dont really have much choice really, the league is full of mediocre coaches.

He was severely lacking in stamina and the only thing I can figure is that he's not performing up to par in practice yet. There's no reason to not play a 6'11" rook with talent unless he has some work to do.
Spobot is the reason, he will take some time to process all that binary code.

Spo isn't mediocre. Every single team in the NBA, outside of Warriors maybe, would sign him in a heart beat. He's a tremendous couch. I really don't understand all the hate towards him here sometimes

Seems like a common sentiment amongst some fans.
My guess it that the tease of a summertime blockbuster aquisition and the ultimate result of an anticlimatic offseason has switched off the interest level amongst certain fans.
I'd also guess that the team will make a move before the deadline that'll switch back on those people's attention.

I definitely think this offseason was a major buzzkill to a lot of fans who knew this team needed to make a move to put us over the top

Strus starting for Martin.
Lowry Herro Strus lineups have been horrible so far, Bam/Jimmy lineups have been elite. Maybe the combine for greatness tonight

It was either gonna be Struss or Highsmith. And considering Highsmith has been unimpressive.
Wonder if UD will get playing time...
