Hayward doesn't look right. I wonder if the foot is still bothering him.
Gotta think so. They havent really fixed the underlying problem.
this is completely on brad. when one student is failing, it’s the student’s fault. when the entire class is failing, it’s the teacher’s fault. this team has been playing completely uninspired, lazy basketball for weeks and nothing has changed. no staring line up changes, no benching of players to make a statement, no brad tirades to kick the team’s ass, no technicals from the coaches to wake up the team.
bottom line, the team is a reflection of their leader and as other teams are finding their rhythm almost halfway through the season, this team is lost, doesn’t have a clear identity, or an obvious leader. 55 wins looks like a stretch for this team as currently constructed.
This isnt high school. Benching players have a negative impact in the NBA. Starting lineup changes? Our starting lineup has basically been different from our regular starting lineup for a while now!
Playing bad for weeks? What an exaggeration, the team have a top 2 net rating and were on a winning streak before losing Kemba.
ok, “playing bad for weeks” was a bit of an exaggeration but it’s not far off. this lazy, uninspired play has been occurring consistently since the 12/28 toronto game, and much of it has happened against subpar teams. even a few of the wins (e.g. jan 3 against atl) were much closer than they should have been against abysmal teams.
our starting lineup has been different only due to injury and sickness. i was clearly referring to a conscious change by brad to change things up.
