i think all three of those guys will be fine and end up good solid players, but people were acting like we passed on generational talents when they were just replacement level or below for now and don't project as stars later. it doesn't make jhs less of a miss, but as you said, my point has always been that you miss in the draft sometimes. we missed last year. we hit this year. yeah, i looked ahead to christmas, and we'll be lucky if we go over .500 in those 13 games. the period after christmas gets a little lighter, with some more home games and winnable road games. but buckle up for some turbulence for the next few weeks...
Lebron, i kind of understand bc he has really never been a good FT shooter his whole career, so why would he change after 20 years… but he’s kind of really bad, no clue what his current season FT percentage is, but it feels like I’m spot on when I see him go to the stripe and it’s typically 1/2. Does he just never practice FTs? 3 ball is good, but FTs is pretty much inexcusable, esp for someone of his stature. Maybe he’s too big? AD….. loss is on you man. Idc if you were 9/9 before you crumbled. I hope you’re reading this. You are absolutely unclutch when it comes to FTs. I just dont understand. You do everything else so freaking well except the clutch gene. Schedule only gets more difficult, then an upcoming road trip. Really couldn’t afford this loss. Dont care how early we are in the season, you see year after year how difficult the west is and how effing tight the finish was from like seeds 5-10. Please don’t ever lose in this manner again. Eff this team.
That one stung. We had that game won and gave it away with the missed free throws and giving up that last three to Wagner. Tough loss.
This is not a good defensive team, we’ve just been playing some very injured teams and squeaking by, outscoring teams. Reality is we need moves to keep winning, so, we’ll see how that goes. Until then, this stuff will happen, schedule starts to get tougher now
