    Position is not important. That fluctuates and eventually should return to norm.

    The problem is the way they play and thus questions about what that norm is.

    The team has 4 rotation players out: Rui, Vando, Prince, and Gabe. That a lot of rotation pieces not their.
    3 of those guy have good size and would have definitely been giving a shot against Orl.
    and w/o Gabe no one to get D Lo out of the game

    yeah, just finished mentioning this in another thread.

    my wmc is our depth got negated in week one of the season. that's just s*** luck. even worse that we'll be a quart low during what should have been the easiest stretch of our schedule. sucks.

    i know. these are all young guys who have a history of mostly good health. again, just terrible luck. it'd be different if lebron strained a groin like old guys do or something. these are the guys we expected to be available.

    We definitely can not catch a break with injuries. I felt AD tweaking something coming after the two overtime games. Feel like a Lebron injury is also inevitable since we haven’t been able to load manage him at all.

    just aggravating.

    We were barely worse... we are still on the pace to 3 - 9 (especially without AD), which, i'll give you that, is better than 2 - 10

    we have a lot of talent, but we're very poorly coached

    I hope management has the balls to fire Ham if we continue to suck say 25-30 games in.

    Did the refs only pull their whistles out of their pockets to call Ts? Poorly called game all the way around. Not blaming them for the loss, but they sucked.

    Refs were trash continuing a theme. LeBron not getting more whistles is insane.

    Aside from him getting hit on every drive, this one was egregious

    U really think the play was to have lbj get the ball to reddish? Dont be foolish.. the play was obviously get ball to the open man, which he did... he just missed. Move on. Next game.
