We might need to slow down the pace but not as slow as last year so that the team can get acclimated to it. Maybe then think about gradually speeding it up. This is a mess.

Then laugh it up. I dont give a F

Seems I have struck a nerve and I'm not sure why... I was literally saying that the bench has no offense without what TDS gave us in games 1 & 2. I wasn't even taking a shot at him... more so the rest of the bench.


You escalated it with the “saying you KNOW he’s better is laughable” bit, and now acting like you have no idea why it happened is the only laughable thing about the exchange.

Besides, I never said I *KNEW* he was better. Just said I think it’s safe to believe his improvement is legit.

We can keep doing this, but there are a lot of other things on this team to complain about, and that’s more satisfying than justifying replies.

Yeah Paolo the problem we are down 8 is because they aren’t calling fouls. It’s not because you are jacking up stupid shots with 20 seconds left on the clock.

If Spo wasn't so hard-headed and played Ware with Bam, like he did last night, we would have lost that game too. We're in trouble.

Why do we make the offense so hard and yet every other team makes it look so incredibly easy?

Most said it, but those AB / Jett picks really have halted this rebuild. We’re stuck now

I'm not as worried about our chemistry since we added Bane, Tyus & Jase as rotational/potential rotational pieces


There will be growing pains, this is the biggest overhaul our team has had since we traded Vuc


Not gonna read too much into everything

It's a shame the next GM won't have picks to fix this.

1-14 from 3. It’s moved past frustrating and entered the heady realm of whimsical disbelief.

Welp, changing the roster isn't improving anything. Coaching staff is next.

Tyus reminds me of Chris Duhon. I remember he made like 25 FGs one year. Tyus has made 1 in 3 games.

Weltman was and remains the flat tire. He needed to be relieved this past year and wasn’t.
