WMC 24-25: Seasonal Highs And Lows!

One, this is the WMC thread, you’re not going to find positivity in it. Two, when you’ve watched as much basketball as we have, you can tell a good team from a bad one, so to know the season is wasted at the beginning is a bummer. And three, it’s a crime to have torn down a title winning/contending team piece by piece in three years. To have LeBron and AD and be this bad, be a lottery team 2 years in a row. Someone needs to be held accountable, I’m not here to let Rob slide when he’s done a bad job and has been rewarded for it. This is a bad team if no moves are made we will not make the playoffs, AND LeBron and AD will break down and suffer injuries from carrying the roster. Bookmark this post, save it, remember it for when that happens.

Oh and if this team somehow turns it around and makes the playoffs as is, feel free to also rub it in my face, I’ll gladly be wrong. I’m someone who has no problem admitting they were wrong, not someone who likes to die on any particular hill. Jones for example, was a signing I wanted for 2 seasons, or even someone to trade for. So far I’ve been terribly wrong, he’s been bad.

 

A lot of us if not most watch the games. You can see that in Game Time. It’s negative because our roster is poorly constructed and Rob didn’t do what he should have when he had a chance to this summer. That Utah trade looks pretty good right now. A team with AD and Lebron should always be a contender. Anything else is failure by Rob’s own admission. Thus what we are seeing is just that - a fail.

 

Oh ok I get you then. I enjoy the journey too, just not so much when we suck and aren’t even trying to improve the situation. We have no pick to look forward to for all our losing, we have no real youth we are developing unless you count 24 year old Reaves and 2nd round pick Christie. At least in the 90’s when we were mediocre it was still fun and we made the playoffs, had our draft picks, and in the tanking years of recent times we had young guys to root for and top 5 picks to hope for. There’s almost nothing to be hopeful for at the moment, Rob tore this franchise down and got an extension for it, all while the player whose contract is responsible for our striking lack of depth is also still here. Straddling the fence of sucking now while we have AD and LeBron for the chance to have our picks while we suck later is.. asking a lot of the fans to put up with.

 

Please allow me to do this once again, in case you can't see what's going on here:

 

2-8 much worse than I anticipated. 10 more games of this before they start thinking about a trade? I hope not. We will most likely be 7 and 13 at that point with a quarter of the season gone.
