That's ridiculous.

The team is fielding a G-League caliber roster out there. How are they supposed to beat professional NBA rosters on any regular basis? There is literally no healthy player on the roster who would start on a .500 team. The only players who would even get minutes on a .500 team are Ish and Brown. Then factor that the injuries have been concentrated at the PF and C positions - taking out all of our rotation-caliber bigs. We don't have a single player over 6-7 who would get regular minutes on ANY roster in the league.

I would take the opposite view that Brooks has done a good job keeping the team competitive with so many guys out.

It certainly isn't Brooks' fault that IT/Brown were a combined 9-39.

Let’s think of another excuse for next season. I’m well aware of the roster and who’s fielding the roster. I’m also aware of the injuries currently. My comment wasn’t based on winning but playing. What’s ridiculous is year after year threshold of excuses we can laminate.
