The rookie of the year award means nothing imo. I'm more concerned with the chemistry on this team. They're playing like a team with no leadership and I'm not liking the body language on the court at times.

It also seems some of the personalities have been shut down as the season has gone on. Typically you see a team that shows something that makes you think they like teach other but there seems to be some sort of split on this team.

There’s definitely a lack of true leadership. Fred’s leadership is fine off the court but on the court, he’s not a great leader

The chemistry in general is terrible. The only person who seems to have any sort of chemistry with his teammates is Khem


Exactly. And this is my biggest issue with this team. Something just isn't clicking right now. They all look like individual players rather than a team.

Maybe it's just early in the season and it will come with time, but it seems like they make adjustments in 3rd quarters to play together and then come back next game and go back to individual players. There isn't a natural fit with these personalities right now. They almost have to make a very conscious effort to play together.

There are a lot of missed open threes masquerading as good defence. They also are disorganized enough to let us get out in transition. Still it is nice to be winning. Now let’s go get a coach fired!

That’s literally NBA basketball. Teams get open 3’s… like 30 a game. Even us, who have a very meh offence, get 25+ open 3’s a night.

Yes and no. There is definitely a shooting luck aspect but there is also an impact a defense can have even if the analytics haven’t been able to quantify what influences 3 point shooting defence yet.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Happy for Pascal coming back from a totally opposite performance the night before. But I’d still want him traded.

Good news. We are still on pace to match Golden St's record of 73-9.

Why is Scottie positioning himself underneath the rim/backboard?

True, but Sacramento hasn’t had an abundance of open looks. It really hasn’t been a worry
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.
