Tough to stomach but the team as currently constructed has an extremely low ceiling.

Garbage extended iso ball. Mosley sucks. He's not going to be the guy that takes them to the next level when they're in their prime.

Put Paolo on the block or at the elbow off a down screen.. run Franz off baseline curls.

FAR too often Paolo drives with no intention of even trying to score. He drives simply looking to embellish the contact as much as possible to get a foul call.

And when the refs don't reward it, he's usually on the ground or barking at the refs as the play goes the other direction.

They need to make a trade, consolidate and upgrade the PG spot. Go get some shooting. We’re losing to nearly every “good” team.

Typical meltdown in the 4th. We need a quality PG so bad

it really is time for management to wake the **** up, realize they have 2 stars, and put some shooters around them. i mean my god, we have no one that can create space for paolo/franz.

They dont even trust their teammates right now and are just taking turns playng 1 on 1.

if i were management, i would be doing nothing but focusing on creating space for those guys, because they are being double teamed all game long and zoned.

Two straight games we could've won with any sort of competent guard play

It’s no wonder 11 year olds love him. He looks like one and acts like one.

Weltman is so up his own ass about the "progress" this team has showed in the first two months that he's not going to do anything.

Just going to let it ride as they absolutely sink like a stone in the standings because he's too afraid.

He’s still evaluating.

That’s been his response every offseason.

My expectations at the moment for this team have dropped all the way down to a play-in squad.
