There's no saving this roster. Not until the offseason anyway.

I am hoping (but probably wrong) that this game was experimentation
Our best rotation this season has been Simmons + 4 shooters and that wasn’t tried for a minute
We even tried Simmons + Clax + D’ayron
Lol wut?
We tried a rotation of 3 6’2” guards
Don’t want to see that **** again unless Tsai finds a Time Machine on Alibaba and we get peak Kyrie, Dame and Lowry
Our defensive system (being generous here) is turning Clax and Mikal into turnstiles
Did Ollie sit on the bench in a blindfold or something?
We’re the worst team in the league right now and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration

Idk why everyone thought things would magically turn around without JV. The problem is deeper than game time decisions. It’s how the offense and defense are setup. And that’s not gonna change in a couple practices. They need an off season to make those changes.
The offense is too predictable. To easy to defend against. They had trouble scoring again. And their defense isn’t good enough to cover their lack of offense

exactly, JV wasn't going to be the savior for this season. No one could.
We had Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden.
They're all gone. No championship contention is in sight. We are in rebuild. But considering Marks' plan, it's a half baked rebuild where we're not really tearing it down completely. Hopefully 2024 we see some improvements and by 2025 significant improvements.

Wrong on this part; can they actually save the roster is the real question that needs to be asked. Who will want to come and play for a dysfunctional franchise? Last night was KO's first game as a coach so he won't be critiqued, YET. But I feel like we are back in 2011 territory where it was hard to get a star to come here. Tsai needs to take accountability for that since he leaked he would rather have a team that plays hard instead of winning championships. No matter the context, now you see we are an awful and abysmal team. Will any star player want to come here where there is no structure or cohesion in the FO?

Nope. I would rather lose by 20 plus rather than 50 to any team, even if it's a contender.
