It sucks, but it is what it is. Rampaging about the performance without those three guys is odd.

Correct. We have a combined 86.8 ppg sitting on the bench with injuries. It’s time to adjust expectations if you are expecting competitive ball and face the reality of the situation.

Of course, but those 3 are on rookie contracts.
JI, KCP and Cole are paid combine over 70m for doing what? Have they managed to combine for over 30pts in one game this season? Maybe once.

Role players play off star players.

If star players aren't there, role players play significantly worse.

It's not a unique thing whatsoever.

Take the top 3 players off any NBA team and players 4-10 are all mostly likely going to really struggle having to all slide up 3 spots on the totem pole apiece.

Because we’re fouling and arguing with the refs.

Damaged goods, but yea let's go ahead and extend him further for 5 more years...

So are we pretending like Isaac wasn't huge for us on defense last year or are we doing this thing we did with KCP where when they play bad they're suddenly terrible for their career/future

And he’s now $15m a year…phenomenal defensive impact for that price…but he has clearly lost a step…I don’t understand the added beef, with 3 Centers on the roster, it doesn’t make sense and it’s not the same guy…he needs to drop it and get back to that rangy, Durant/Claxton body that was just everywhere at once.

It's hilarious that WCJ got himself thrown out. WCJ and JI are so disappointing.

If we wanna salvage our season and get proper PO experience and wins, we need to do something about Moes ( apparent season ending injury) , bench guard help and another scorer.

Salvage the season for what reason? They aren’t trying to contend and they already have playoff experience. I don’t believe they think it’s worth it. Just being honest.

Next step. Lets be honest, our lineup is still full of holes right now. We cant plug those in through the draft cuz rookies typically needs 3-4 years before they maximize their contributions.

Experience in winning a PO series? Baby steps. We never had that before since Dwight-era.

I just don’t see it man. They are all in on building from within and trades this year won’t do anything. And this is coming someone who would love Simons on this squad.

These refs should be fined for making the game such a **** of officiating.

Listen, a Mosley lead team does not quit. We won’t win this game but I believe we will be better in the second half. *gulp* I think.

It sounds like JT and Steele are expecting the worst on Moe.

Oh lol I complained about him getting ejected and then immediately forgot about it because I started thinking about filling Moe's minutes. Durrrrrrrrr
