Gotta get them one more guy this off-season and they can be a top 4 team in the east imo. Cade and shooters giving a bunch of these teams fits already. If Ivey can come into next season how he was finishing up this one then that's part of it.

Opposing teams guards stay kicking our ass:martin:
The bigs was the real problem this game. Them big long muthafukkas muck up the paint and the lob game and just make a consistent offense difficult if 3's ain't falling. Cade should have been operating more with his midrange game tonight to open the floor up. Tough loss

After seeing what Toronto gave up form Ingram, y’all should’ve been in the phone with Pels.

Yeah they've been given us problems since they've been in the league, part of Cade's bad shooting night as well trying to finish over/around those cats. Midrange would have been the way to go. We at least need another big of similar pedigree, an atheltic wing that can shoot and create, and another ballhandler that can do the same/spell Cade in PG duties. I believe we start to cook the league with that.


Im moreso concerned with Cade getting burned out/hurt logging these minutes with high usage. Im not exactly sold on the vegan lifestyle sustaining against the vigors of NBA seasons long term. Id feel different if physicality wasnt apart of Cade's game. Breh played 40 last night against a Cavs squad with no Mitchell. Testament to the Cavs roster but still.

I totally agree with everything except for vegan being an issue. Long as he getting the Vitamins and nutrients he need to continue to develop his body that don't really matter.

But the workload is certainly an issue. He needs some help, and I'm not talking bout no rash decisions Blake Griffin type trade. But at least get somebody that can take him off the ball sometimes and run the second unit. I do like that they've put Ausar on ball a little more the last 2 weeks and I wanna see them continue to develop that. The roster additions you mentioned are exactly what I wanna see. A big that's offensively adept enough to make the other teams bigs actually have to defend them for more than just a lob threat, a wing scorer, and another ballhandler and we Gucci. Like contender Gucci. Team ain't nearly as far as it looked last year.

hopefully those new players aren’t prioritized ahead of Sasser’s minutes and development :francis:
