At the top.
Either Lowry is injured as fukk or he's being a bytch after that ESPN interview; dude has been nothing short of TRASH.
Agreed with @trick ..our big man can't rebound for shyt out there and will be a huge problem in the playoffs.
A trade will definitely be happening before the deadline because as is we'll get exposed

Y’all are overreacting a bit. Something is going on with Lowry but he won’t play the rest of the season this badly. I think his ankle is bothering him. Ever since the Suns game he hasn’t shot the ball well and he’s tweaked the ankle once or twice since. I think we should rest him for a couple weeks.

Agreed. If he's not contributing, they might as well rest him.

They don't need more of this:

They have to solve the rebounding problem though. Most of us saw this problem in Week 1 and it gets more and more evident every week that our bigs can't rebound for shyt. The frustrating part is that JV is trying hard but he has hands of stone...it keeps slipping off his fingers or he's just bumping into OTHER guys on the team who are trying to get the ball. Then him bumping into his teammates leads to a guy on the opposing team grabbing the ball :francis: Or he's in reach, but he's just too slow to get it. JV is going to be a problem for us if we aren't playing Detroit or Philly in the playoffs, he only matches up well with Drummond and Embiid at this point.

Then you have Siakam and Ibaka just watching the ball sail by, every fukking time :hhh:

There are even guys out there like Trevor booker who’d help with rebounding

He's rehabbing his toe right now and won't be ready until next year, but he'd be perfect for this team. He should have a lot left in the tank, and he's always done a good job rebounding and out-rebounding bigger guys despite being undersized. I didn't watch him last year though, so I don't know if he's as mobile as I remember him being. -

Rebounding is like 7th on the list of things they need to improve
Interesting I would have it near the top. I think we also need to work on closing out we give up way to many wide open 3s. We also need to have better late game situations set up. Our bench as everyone know needs to show some consistency.
