It's time to put everything on the table because there are some feelings that aren't being expressed until it's time to play and then we see the dysfunction.

Get it all out and let's see who's willing to change their role and who isn't.

TP!  Couldn't agree more.  There's no doubt that these guys are keeping their frustrations to themselves.  It's much easier to find common ground if they air out their issues.  This should also give Danny and Brad an idea of who is unable to move forward.

Who is going to tell them that it's time for a  players only meeting? Brad? Danny? The fans?

They need to feel a little desperation. They are sleep-walking through these games and obviously feel like many on this board...."it's early"....."it's a marathon not a sprint"...."they will figure it out",

Guess what guys...you aren't that good. Toronto is real good, Milwaukee is real good. Philadelphia is good, Indiana is good, Charlotte has heart, Orlando has heart, Detroit has heart.

We are in the same category as Washington. We, like they feel we are way better than our record.

Guess what? You are NOT!

Time to spend an entire practice shooting threes.

Larry Bird practiced shooting threes every day for his entire career.

As crazy as it sounds, the best thing that could probably happen to this team is an injury. I think there’s too much of a log jam and too much sharing of the ball for guys to catch their rhythm. The free throw shooting hasn’t been great the past few games and they’ve been missing wide open shots all season long. I think this points to guys just not being comfy out there.

The chemistry is out of whack. The team is playing less than the sum of its parts.

Tatum getting to the free throw line is great if he would make them but 50% isn't cutting it when you aren't making the 2's and can't make the 3's

I agree- It is time for each player to start practicing more on their own and working on their shots. Complacency and believing the hype for a team that has never won anything is a big recipe for average.

If the numbers have gone down, you practice...it is that simple. Even the best teams in the world cannot simply win without constantly improving and working on their craft. Larry Bird is a great example of this...TP
