Nothing is gonna come easy this year - always a struggle.

This team is badly constructed and needs a couple of fundamental changes. Not an overhaul - but specific changes in personnel.
Those being center and point guard. What we have is not serving our strengths. Some bench shooting would help as well.
I am still not sold on Stevens being a coach to win a title.

Could've had Bey and Bane in the draft we just had. We got Pritchard, traded Bane and picked a guy who can't get 5 minutes on the court.

Sigh. If Theis just made that 3

that was a bad shot by Theis.

It’s hard to pass up when nobody is within 10 feet.  Theis can hit that shot.

That absolutely was a great shot by Theis lol He was WIDE open and is shooting something like 45% from beyond the arc this season lol He just unfortunately missed.

Awful loss. I know they're short handed but they've now lost twice to a 6-19 team. Good one night, lousy the next, record is 1 over .500 which is what happens with .500 teams.


They have too many young players and the Vets that they did pick up have been disappointing. Really need to make some moves to balance out the roster. They currently have too many players that either don’t contribute at all or are super inconsistent.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Watching the Cs this year makes me sad. They are not very good. This is the closest they have been to a rebuilding team in a while. Sad.

Same roster as the one that came within 2 games of the Finals last year.

We should be able to beat the Pistons easily.

No Kanter, no Wanamaker, no Kemba, no Smart....

Kanter sucked, Wanamaker was a mediocre backup. It's a night off for Kemba.

Smart I will give you. I doubt he lets this thing get as ugly as it did.

We scored 120 on a night when neither Tatum nor Brown could buy a basket, but were doing a great job finding open shots for teammates.

We scored 102 on a night when we slowed down and played iso ball, hardly involving anybody else.  Tatum and Brown had good offensive nights, but they didn't have help so we lost.

There's something to learn from that.  Our depth leaves a lot to be desired, but the Jays also don't consistently make teammates better at this point in their careers.  That is something that stars must do to become superstars.
