Bamba like 5 seconds behind everyone else mentally and physically.

We just need a legit 2 to pair with Fultz and we’ll be set.

Not going to lie... I saw this coming from a mile away. DJ, Vuc and Ross played out of their minds last year, with Ross and Vuc being contract years. I also don't buy into this 'major' jump from any of our young guys. You can't bet on that happening and it doesn't appear that it has. The only surprise for me is how terrible AG has been. He looks disinterested out there.

This game is obviously over if they can’t start hitting wide open shoots. You can’t hang around a team like Toronto like they did against the hawks it’s wont work. You have to score.

The starters look very listless and no creators out there. So looks like AG is pressing and trying to make something happen.
I can see Fultz becoming starter really soon.

come on Cliff, you got to have more creative stuff then running Ross off screens, you got to switch it up man.....As athletic as he is he can't attack the cup? Almost every shot is contested for ross because they know that the ball is going to him.....predictable

something is not right with this team. Why they playing like their jobs is on the line. They are forcing their shots to much. This is not the same team that had made the playoffs. Its not looking good at all.

Tired of Bamba floating around the 3 point line. He completely ruined that last set because he did not roll to the basket. I just caught the game midway into the 1st quarter. Good thing the bench at least has cut into the deficit a bit. Looks like the starting lineup has dug us a hole yet again.

I was truly hoping that they would build off last year... Normally I’m a calming voice of, “its early in the season, only game 3, etc.” BUT, they should be the team that starts off right—with all the “continuity”. We have seen the best Gordon will ever be and they need to, IMO opinion, find a 2 and 3 that are about playing their “role” and who cares more about team success than individual success....

I don't recognize him. He has zero confidence out there.

We're using him differently. He's not getting the same looks as last season.

I hate how this team is built and it's completely exacerbated when the guys our team is built around play poorly.

Not much you can do missing open shots

If you can watch this team and think our problems are as simple as shots not falling I don't know what to tell you.

Fultz is gonna be impressive.... i swear there are moments that it feels like time stops and he makes a move.... and everyone is standing still.

3v2 fast break and we shoot a three?

Sure you can. Your front office could get guys who can.
