TreyMachine 299 Report post Posted February 26 This was a must win and we didn't play like it. That's just it. Until we want it more than others, we won't make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJZFL …interesting that you mostly show up to post when things go south for us I watch almost all of them. I post in wins and losses. Couldn’t resist a bad joke after this game though. If you can’t laugh when they play like that, especially after all these years, you’re in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 959 Report post Posted February 26 Carter and Harris combined 2-19 from the field and 1-12 from 3. Goga had as many rebounds in 9 minutes as Bol and Moe did combined in 43. Cole was bad Cole tonight and when bad Cole shows up we usually lose. Just not a fun night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hootie249 278 Report post Posted February 26 I have been staying away because it was always going to be up and down. Get Paolo some focus and secure his ROTY. Anything else, whatever. That is my take. Coaching matters. Nuff said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babir_9 80 Report post Posted February 26 We should forget about play in now. Hopefully next season we get experienced and modern coaching personnel and decide to compete normally.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've already posted that I consider this season a success even if we fade at the end. I mostly post in between games. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke_FfS 193 Report post Posted February 26 Bloody loss, we can't afford to lose those games at home with direct rivals. The bad signals of the Detroit game were unfortunately confirmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke_FfS 193 Report post Posted February 26 11 hours ago, All Eyes On Me said: The Moe and Bol lineups are killing us. Two of the worst defenders in the league I've insisted a lot of times on that (pairing one of them with Isaac when available could help) but in reality, I've checked adv stats and the pairing is not really bleeding point for us. Banchero has actually worst +/- in a lot of combinations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only over the summer actually! :P You could say the same of me then, but I believe there's a huge difference between being realist (and critical when needed) than overly optimistic when the results and the numbers doesn't tell the same story. That doesn't make us less a fan of the team. I agree that the season is already a success somehow given the premises, but at the same time, reading some comments we look like we're on the verge on contending... and then the results doesn't really confirm that. Long way to go and a lot to improve still, in every single facet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Long way to go and a lot to improve still, in every single facet. Whoever thinks we are contending next year doesn’t understand how team growth and player development works. You don’t just go from being a bottom dwelling team to competing for a championship over night unless you make some drastic changes to this roster. Making the playoffs next year should definitely be our goal if we continue to learn from these games and would be the next step in trying to compete for a championship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
