    Who's content? Surely no one on this board. What evidence do we have that management is content? In the short time they've been here we have improved significantly. 

    It's amazing how impatient some people are. I have no doubt we will make a move. Let's let the move happen. 

    It’s been an 8 year rebuild and we still have a mediocre team that might grab the 7-8th seed. Any long term fan of this team has a right to be a little impatient at this point. This includes losing patience with Clifford’s rotations and minutes that our key players are getting. This team isn’t going on a deep playoff run. There’s no reason to limit their minutes to save them for anything in particular

    Russell doesnt seem to be a good fit at Golden State. He didnt even play the last few minutes of the game. I think he will be traded soon. 

    I will take a look at him.  Aminu, DJ and Fournier for Russel and Marquese Chriss wil do. 

    He's definitely not a good long term fit. That deal gets them out of his contract when Fournier opts out this summer

    We can have an elite defense and we'd still lose to Portland. The reason we're about to be 1-6 over the last 7 against them is because we can't defend their guards in the pick and roll with Vucevic. The one game we did win their guards still combined for 60, the rest of their players just didn't show up

    But we don't have an elite defense, so my point remains

    I think it’s funny thinking back to the “Inside the Magic- Chapter 1” when all the guys were in the locker room and they asked Ross about training camp and he was basically like yeah I’ll go through the motions to get it over with but it’s all about the regular season. It’s just so rich in hindsight, for a guy who just got paid and now consistently chucks wide-open, air ball 3’s

    We can criticize the offense— it’s certainly worthy of criticism— but this team isn’t going to win giving up 57 on a half. The defense has been going downhill the past month and isn’t even top 10 in defensive rating. 

    If we’re going to turn it around, it’s going to be when this team remembers it’s identity and plays defense like it has to. 

    You're applying the correct logic but the issue is our defense flat isn't good enough to offset our straight up abysmal offense. The days of building a team around defense left the NBA probably 8 years ago. It just doesn't work in a league that doesn't allow defense to be played, not even mentioning we don't do it well, especially when you factor in our just horrible pick and roll defense and inability to rebound. Its a complete loss at this point, especially considering how heavily we're relying on the likes of DJ for *****ing 20 ft runners and hook shots just to score a goddamn basket
