Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted October 31, 2018 15 minutes ago, Mauro Pedrosa said: Some people will be mad at this, but I was really happy with yesterday's loss. It was a critical game so early in the season, to see if our team should go for a playoff spot with the veteran core or to figure out if we still were who we always were. We lost, the vet core looked as bad as ever, Bamba had some great flashes mixed with rookie mistakes. I want us to get a top 10 pick and for BIG to be great. As I said a few days ago, having horrible PGs is stealth tanking and I'm fine with it. From a fan’s perspective, I hear you. From a player’s perspective, this has to be very deflating. If this is the route we want to go, we need to be open about it and give the young guys tons of burn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted October 31, 2018 We shot 9 for 39 on open or wide open threes last night. Going by last year's numbers we'd expect to make 14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus, it is as bad as I thought it was. Adding to this, for the season we are 28/106 on "open" 3s (26.4%), 38/105 on "wide open" 3s (36.2%) -- totaling 66/211 on open or wide open 3s (31.2%).

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted October 31, 2018 I don't blame anyone for quitting on the team. It's difficult to watch the same stuff happen for 3 years while knowing the beats that are going to happen already. Team "has to play better" Team plays better for 10 days. Is team turning a corner? Couple bad losses. Couple good wins I say something like "if we just win these next couple games we make up those bad losses and are back on track". Lose something like 12 out of 15 games completely derailing the season. Make a move for an interesting yet inconsequential piece that is relatively exciting but doesn't really change team complexion. But you make the move too late to really make a difference. "This went well late in the season. This went poorly. If you can keep the good while limiting the bad we can contend for a playoff spot next year" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not some f ing retread who is stuck in the past. It's because vucevic is skilled on offense. Only 11 centers have triple doubles with assists in the last 20 years. And his problems are relatively fixable. He's not incapable of playing the way we need him to. We see him play that way 8 times a year. So coaches see him as a guy who they can reach and mold him into something. But that never happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did I say how you were supposed to feel? The conversation was centered around moral victories. You questioned it I expounded. You found good in the game and I didn't. At this point we should be expecting more than a few players doing their job. You don't agree? Fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
