I'm sooo disappointed in Rozier. I knew he'd be a bad fit defensively often next to Herro and Duncan types but I at least thought he's be able to get his own shot and make it reliably and hit the 3 and run the pick and roll while breaking down a defense getting in the lane for drive and kicks and finishing inside. None of that is the case, just a nightmare. I wanted to like the guy too but I gotta completely admit to being wrong about him and it sucks.

Love at Center with JJJ or Highsmith at the 4 is just some type of torture Spo loves to try and make work on a game to game basis

A lot of us were wrong. Hope they can move on from the problem sooner rather then later

This is why I said I know the answer to bad teams wanting to play us. They see a worn down team that will play down to their competition with size mismatches all over the court. And one that can't score so get your offense going and your in the drivers seat.

Even a fat Lowry played his role better here. Just couldn't score.

Lowry was maddening with his nonwillingness to shoot though, he'd pass up so many looks almost like to prove a point it was wild.

They see the white guys and they see food. Duncan and Herro need to have some pride on that end

Duncan having a stinker so far, has he even scored? Hope either him or Herro get hot soon, or else this will be a blowout soon

Spo thinks he can switch his do everything defensively PF who's trying to play Center with 4 guards all around the perimeter and that it's ok for these pylons to be blown by without any kind of rim protector or paint deterrence or even just height behind them. It's just a joke plain and simple.

I wish we'd stop pretending that Highsmith is an answer at the 4.

His true value is as an expiring contract next year. Hard to see a market for him right now.
