Also, we aren't trying to win.

Respectfully: I totally reject this notion.

If we were trying to win we would've exhausted all the financial ways to improve. We're going to let all our TPE's expire.

Mosley even said when he got the job that his focus this year was developing the young players.

Also, do you believe that Isaac couldn't have been ready? They're giving him extra time because winning as much as we can this season isn't the top priority. I think MCW, Moore, and Isaac all could probably play now.

You don't think Ennis wouldn't have been better than Iggy?

When the 3s aren't falling our offense is so brutal to watch. We have so few options for scoring reliably in other ways. And as expected, the hot start from 3 was not sustainable and we are 23th in 3pt percentage now. Poor game by Cole, he was due one. Having him defend Harden so often didn't work either, though he tried hard.

Hopefully WCJr. is OK, he's been great all season.

Suggs still can't make a jump shot to save his life, I am pretty sure he's had more air balls and shots that barely grazed the rim than makes on his jump shots. This and the dribbling turnovers is quite concerning. He's still playing great D though, hopefully he'll figure it out offensively at some point.

I accept that Management is not trying to construct a roster that can win this year. But the current players are playing hard and Coach is not pro-tank.

So I think we are both correct here.

I agree the players are playing hard, but I believe Mosley is playing youth over experience.

Yea. I really see no value in pathetic tanking especially when draft does not have some future Lebron (more like Porter jr & homeless Durant type guys)

You can help boost L column later but for development's sake you need to be somewhat competitive

The way our vets have been playing this has only helped our chances of getting wins.

If WCJ is out, I bet they bring back Moore and MCW, so we can remain competitive.

There just tipping point with Suggs where you come to conclusion that he shouldn't be starting in nba until he lears how to be point guard. And running second unit would be more beneficial to his development than sucking in role of Alfred for Cole's wannabe Batman. Right now he is too deep into his own head, nothing works for him, he turns the ball over all the time and his shooting is just pathetic. I like Suggs. I wanted Suggs. I hope he will turn out to be fine. But today it's just pointless to start guard who shoots 13-64 for 3 and hardly can even get 32% FG ovearll. Playing against worst level of competition ( other team's bench players ) might boost some moral in him when he views few shots go in. Our next 12 days scheadule is brutal. He won't just start lighting it up against Bucks ( twice) or Knicks ( elite defense ). Maybe sit him on purpose and turn him into a starter against Pelicans? I'm pretty sure i can score 10 points on Pelicans

As for Cole, i don't want to criticize him much now, since his numbers are still strong, but i don't belive they are sustainable or that he adds much value on offense. But that's story for another day ( and thread) . Right now what i find annoying is fact that he missed 2 dunk attemps in two games. Like bro, you probably 6 foot tall, you have T rex arms, just go for layup.

Durant made mockery of our defense

I agree about Suggs. He's just having a tough time transitioning from the college game to the NBA I'm not too worried about it he'll get it figured out. And yes him going to the 2nd unit could help him get a bit more comfortable and confident.

Orlando started the season with 6 players on the IR. Coach Mosley is playing the only roster he can play.
