This game is making me tight

Get used to it. This team is fundamentally flawed.

A jump shooting team with no real rebounders.

A PF playing center, a uncoordinated All Star SF playing PF, a 2nd string shooting guard STARTING at the 3. A 2nd string Shooting guard starting at the 2. A trick or treat PG duo, and nobody that can get boards on the bench. No wings. No one who can create their own shot except the PGs

They should have blew it up at the deadline

Rebounding ain't this team's issue.

They are 30th in rebounding. I respect your opinion but IMO its a issue breh
It's not through. It's the way Bud has to play to get good defensive impact out of this unit. He doesn't have the personnel to get those numbers on the boards but get impact out of his defense. Offensively, they shoot too many jumpers and the only penetration they get is from Dennis and Jeff. Bud's spread the ball and player philosophy goes v. High rebounding numbers. That's why I say, you can't watch the stat sheet. It don't tell the true story.

Another issue I have with the team is dribble penetration of the guards. I've never seen nikkas get beat off the dribble so much in a NBA game in the modern era like these guys. Especially Dennis, Thabo and Bazemore.

Of course the ATL
@AVXL we getting bounced first round. ... you called it... I didn't want to believe but

It really just highlights how bad this team is. Can't rebound, can't shoot. And now they're in another funk and nobody of importance on this team got traded so they can't use the excuse of "trade rumors" anymore

Last yr was a fluke breh, assuming we make the playoffs they will get destroyed in the first round
