How y'all brehs feel about this team? Different year, same shyt
Yeah I already told you what the problem. Basically our guards struggle with size
Yep. No bench and we don't have any fowards worth a damn.

If Dame or CJ are off, we lose.

Nah, we just need some forwards. We should package some of our bigs to get a decent one.
Nah it's the guard position. Either CJ or Dame has to go. I'd send CJ off because dame is more of a leader. And dame is also an Iron man, dude hardly ever misses a game. Meanwhile think back to early in CJ's career, he was very injury prone at first, it's only a matter of time before that shyt resurfaces. Then his trade value will start to dimension. We gotta move CJ first....

The issue isnt the forward spot tbh. We're exactly loaded. I do wish mo harkless was more aggressive, at contesting every shot. I think he's scared to rack up fouls. But dude has the length, skillset and potential to be a force on defense and offense.
Everybody besides dame and CJ is ass on offense
Thing of it is, we cant struggle with size at the guard position. Having a backcourt of 6'3 guys is problematic when size is put on them. Everyone in the league knows this....

Honestly I would have shipped CJ off before Crabbe for this very reason. :yeshrug:

I think nurck lost too much weight
yeah he lost some of his force in the paint. I get that he's more mobile and agile, but part of the reason why he was dominant last year, was because he couldnt be out muscled. Now I'm seeing cats able to push him out the way. But the thing is, with him being fit it reduces the his chances of being injured..

Plus his post move have improved. Nurkic is fine though. The other problem like I mentioned that we don't have a decent backup 7footer, that makes a difference. Meyers Leonard is dead weight. And Zac Collins is a still a couple years away from being serviceable....

Nets fan here.

Yall lost cause your coach tried to go small with us instead of letting Nurkic eat. The blueprint to beating the Nets is simple. Have a stretch big shoot or put him in the PnR and the rest of the team crash boards. Nurkic was killing us and then Stotts went small in the 4th. Dangelo’s game is well suited to one on one close out situations.
