DLO is really going to like that Memphis BBQ. Pip will likely outscore and outplay him. He has a reason to circle this date. To DLO, it's just another Wednesday on the road. Pip is 13th in APG and 9th in total assists. Ouch!
We really need to find a way to move on from DLo, we’re never going to win with how he defends and how unathletic our backcourt is. We also still can’t shoot threes, tonight LeBron was 6-11, rest of the team was 9-37. Mostly though, we have zero depth, this was always the issues, we cannot survive any injuries. Yes obviously we can’t win without AD, but even losing Rui causes huge issues.
It really sucks that I feel we'll again be a team fighting for the last couple of Playoffs/Play-in) spots, and I just don't think we can really compete for much more than giving some war in the First Round, being an annoying first round opponent. I also have a hard time seeing us out of this mid team hole for a while. Anthony Davis is a monster, but we just don't have enough team to seriously compete. We'd need some really nice magic from our front office to change our destiny, and I just have absolutely no trust in them to get it done. I want to be wrong of course, but I don't think we're on a good position right now.
