    I feel good about tonight. I think the team was in their heads with the losing streak. I think we have a chance. Need Paolo to keep improving and I think he will continue to get the rust off and get closer to the elite way he started the season.

    I believe it really is coaching issues. Our team has some dogs on it, but I think they have been mismanaged. The media really thought highly of coach Mosely last year and he seems like a nice guy and the team seems to like him, but I dont think he is really doing a great job. He gets credited for instilling a good defensive team, but I think it is the talented young roster we have that is the reason we are good on defense. I am all for coach development as I am for player development, but I want an alpha coach that is an offensive guru. I dont see why Houston's team is doing better than us. I believe our roster is better than there's but Ime Udoka is an alpha that gets the most out of his players. JJ Redick is getting a lot out of his LA roster. I would like Dan Hurly, or maybe give Steve Nash another shot at coaching. Jason Kidd didnt last long with Bucks or Nets but is doing a good job with the Mavs. Maybe see if any other elite former players look promising to coach. I'd like to take a shot on Rajon Rondo if he is willing to coach. That man is a basketball genius. Even see if Mark Jackson or even Scott Skiles would be down to coach again.

    Im cool with standing with our roster, unless we got KD. Our roster is not the problem. The coaching staff isnt as great as they are perceived to be. Why are the young players getting hurt a lot? The knicks with older players who average more minutes havent had nearly as many injuries. Shooting coaches really need to improve. Threes and free throws are especially terrible. Can only improve our shooting. The lineups that we put out are not great. Need to bench players who are struggling. The game against the Heat, it clearly wasnt Bancheros night. We should have benched him at the end of the 4th quarter before OT. He single handedly lost us the game (he will be elite and our best player, just cant afford to take the L's). Need Cole to play more minutes. I think Mosely doesnt like him which is stupid. Team will get better this season. Paolo has been struggling after injury but finally played better last game. I think he will get better because he is that dude. If we traded any players, they would have popped off on their new teams and made us look stupid. If he cant improve, I think firing Mose may be better for us and looking for an alpha coach in the offseason. Maybe we could pry Dan Hurly. We wont but that would help us.

    Idc anymore, if the mavs can trade Luka see if we can trade Banchero for KD. I need immediate gratification.

    We need better coaching. Tons of talent on this team. I think our team is more talented and deep than the Rockets but we dont have an alpha coach like Ime Udoka. All the love Mosely got last year is because of a talented roster. I bet if we trade players away, they will take off with their new teams. I will say that the team hasnt been healthy long enough to gel and you see teams like the miami heat in 2011 and the knicks at the start of year struggle for the first 15-20 games together and start cooking. The entire team has been in a shooting slump this entire season and even worse the past 15 games. I think they can get out of it but the coaching of this roster needs to improve drastically or get let go.
  7. I dont think we should trade anyone on this team. Our team hasnt played fully healthy. Let's ride with the guys we have and let them improve their shooting and team chemistry. Paolo had a terrible game today and single handily lost us the game, but he is that guy and I know he will bounce back and be great. In the playoffs last year, he was the reason we went to 7 and it was Franz game 7 that didnt show up. Now Franz is that dude too! Goga being back is huge. Missing Moe is terrible for us, but I think we should ride with all our guys and let them improve. There isnt a way this season we could trade our way into championship contenders, so dont force anything. If our team improves and gets healthy and gets better at shooting, that is our only way. I believe in our team even though it's been a rough 2 months.

    I think our team is doing great this season, but some things need to change. The lineups need to play the best players available. Coaching needs to analyze the minutes of all the players and see how it translates to wins. Totally mind boggling how Cole Anthony rode the bench so much this year. Training needs to be better with all our young talent getting hurt this year. New York knicks have a bunch of older guys playing more minutes with less injuries. Overall a good year, but I feel we could be a lot better with the talent we have even with all the injuries we have had. We are a deep team. I'd be cool staying put with our team and let them get healthy and get their chemistry together, but if we are making trades by 2.6.25 I am opening to the following players being traded with 2nd round picks and future firsts: Corey Joseph Mac McClung Gary Harris KCP (Great player but just not shooting the 3 ball as well as previous years. Playing great defensively and a proven winner) Trevelin Queen Caleb Houston I would want: Bruce Brown Luke Kennard Cam Johnson Cam Thomas (only bigger name player I want) other depth 3 and D players (no huge contracts. Need to re-sign our guys. stay away from: All the Stars and bigger name players D Lo (do not get him!!!! Decent player but will ruin our team chemistry and hated how he played in the playoffs last year.) Anfernee Simons Border line players to Keep: Cole Anthony (he is a glue guy for the team and great for team chemistry. He is also a bucket and I do not understand why he didn't average 25+ mins all season!!!) Jonothan Isaac is a defensive stud and can do more offensively if given a bigger role, just needs to be careful physically. All the other players that are not mentioned should stay on the team and continue to develop. Free throws and 3 pointers are huge issues. I am believing for our core to get better at both.
