Dont Panic

[Orlwillbeback]

After 3 DAMN games. Give it a rest! Holy hell the sky is falling guys. No NBA team in the history of the NBA has made the playoffs after and 0-3 start. Right? That's how you are coming across.

If it is possible, it is with that lineup i described.

This is the problem with having a point guard who cannot shoot. It is the most damning handicap in today's NBA.

Can you explain how we are not worse off than before?

I guarantee you that this team will not go 20-62. That's how many games we won first year after Dwight. So can you please explain how we are worse??

even so you didnt even give me an explanation you just gave me a blanket statement.

I gave you a damn good reason. Go back and read a few posts ago. You are complaining just for the sake of complaining.

You are rambling about nothing. This post of yours has nothing to do with my response or your previous one. Are you high?

We are definitely not worse off than before. That is insane overreaction and not nearly close to reality.

A lot of guys are hedging their bets on us starting off poorly and not turning it around. I think that is a mistake and more about them wanting to be right then actually supporting the team.

Better players. Better coach. This really needs to be explained?

It's 9 new players and a new staff. Anyone expecting a hot start is foolish.

We will probably struggle until this team gets the right identity. But even you claimed to be championing a small ball lineup like many of us have. Why would you want to see that lineup if you don;t believe in it?

Stick to your guns and have a little confidence in your own ideas. If you thought the team sucked you wouldn't care what lineup we rolled out.

How are our players better?

Vogel has a track record surely so he gets a pass but so far these new guys we have obtained and promoted into their new roles have not been as good as their predecessors.

Their Player efficiency ratings pale in comparison to the guys we had last year as well as their shooting percentages from the floor.

It really doesn't need to be explained. This poster says things for the sake of controversy. He's not even worth a quote. To say we our worse off now than when we started the rebuild is false and a overreaction.

Unnecessary comments about another poster. Keep it about the post, not the poster, please.

I watched the

Ibaka at center against Willie Reed didn't work.

What is your primary concern against Ibaka at the 5? I see it from the team's offense perspective to spread the floor properly.

I'm curious to hear your's.

My only concern is that Ibaka may not be able to defend and rebound adequately at center. Against most of the NBA's centers he'd probably be okay.

Ya i was concerned about his rebounding too but i thought defense was supposed to be his forte and really the reason why we got him.

You mean better than 17 ppg at 34% like Oladipo has been this year? Fournier who is shooting awfully is at 42% and .3 ppg less. Not to mention Fournier can't do anything other than score, yet has 4 more assists then Oladipo so far.

IT'S BEEN 3 GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 of which we were heavy underdogs on the road. Calm down.

The funniest thing is, is we got rid of the front office it would be reset again and take time! Hennigan has made mistakes, mainly the Harris trade which I'm not convinced was his, and a hiring Skiles and maybe Vaughn. The rest has been bad luck, and maybe due to a lack of experience not the right vision in that we haven't had a balanced roster. We need to see how we finish the year, a near playoff miss is the minimum with a well performing roster, changes will be made though.
