I'm gonna be optimistic and say this team is still young basically and SHOULD learn from these close losses.

But man in the moment are they frustrating. That's 3 comebacks we did that were awesome that we had the wins and then let the teams tie the game and force OT and we lose. We gotta learn to finish off these improbable comebacks we make.

Feels like Willie doing to much experimenting with weird ass line ups instead of trying to win games. We need playoff Willie mode back.

Willie needs to dead that CJ and Graham backcourt for good. RIP that shyt ASAP

It’s poison. Saw enough of it last year, it’s not gonna improve much this year

Jose needs to be getting heavy minutes. Naji minutes need to get dead aswell. Just let Dyson cook. Naji, Graham, and Hayes needs to stay glued to the bench.

I was hoping some of these guys put up decent showings to boost their value as trade assets

Naji is fine he just don’t need to handle the rock or try to create on his own. Hayes is a rock head

I believe that's what Willie and Griff are trying to do, but they are just a detriment to winning.


Granted... Graham is having a solid year so far, but he's not better than Jose. You can't give three undersize guards this many minutes. You draft Dyson to fix this issue. Play him.

CJ and Graham
Jose and Graham

Should never be a pairing.

CJ and Jose work in certain situations when you need next level offense and pace.

Jose always has to carry the 3rd quarter offense and most of the time... Fight back from a deficit. Why is that? Jose sits too much in the 1st half.
