    Lol.

    No, we'll likely be losing games and there's a good chance of missing the PO's.

    Hope it doesn't happen, but with injuries and COVID, it just isn't happening this season for us.

    And since we have little to no cap maneuverability, it won't happen next season either.

    3 HOF'ers, and we don't even expect to make the playoffs.

    I need to correct that post. We have 3 past their prime future Hall Of Famers that are clearly on the decline. I think I'm doing this right. :)

    Remember when we were happy getting Nunn as a consolation prize after we missed out on Mills. That didn't age well.

    No one outside of Stanley played with any effort until we were down 23 in the 4th.

    there are quite a few problems with this team but lack of effort is easily 50%+ the culprit.

    Blame pie:
    50% lack of effort
    25% roster construction
    25% injuries/Covid lack of chemistry not playing together

    Hard to say since we literally haven’t seen Nunn play one minute. Nobody can predict injuries.

    Fizdale blows: wtf would you think Melo at C would work at all.
    You barely can hide him on defense with plus defenders around him

    Dwigth is better then Melo at switching at this stage of his careers

    Nature of the best through. Sometimes the best ability is availability. If you can't show up, you aren't going to pass the class.

    We literally grabbed a wing (Stanley) off the street and he was our best guy on the floor during a stretch just because he was actually trying.
