We are going to the playoffs baby, and we will win at least one round! So much to whinge about (and rightly so) from the start of the season. The team has played woefully, and looked like they just don't give a crap. But this is the thread for positivity, the thread where we remind ourselves that anything is possible. It is time to focus. I'm the kind of person who always wants more. I always keep a ball in the car. You never know. There haven't been that many hot starts in the West this year. Playoffs are well within reach - in fact we are only 2.5 games away from having homecourt. It has been a horrible start, but surely we will not go through the entire season with ALL of our wings shooting sub 40% from the field? Big home game against the Knicks. We win it, then the team has 3 days rest - or rather, 3 full days for Bickerstaff to run the team through his schemes. Please keep your smarmy, snarky and sarcastic commentary to the bevy of threads open for just such a purpose. Sign in here if you haven't (yet) given up hope! I believe.
Clutch City Forever! This is just a bump in the road. I love the Bickerstaff hire . . . it gets us a coach that believes in scheme over talent and also a guy the players are familiar and comfortable with.
I believe, we just need the players to believe too. I'm with Calvin, the team is talented and they have hit a rough patch. I've seen minor improvements the last two games. The effort is there on defense, the execution is not there on offense. The biggest thing is to just start making shots. If they do that playing defense will be a little easier than always having to scramble back. Also, they have to figure out what to do with Ty. That's the biggest thing.
A poster by the name of beastlyball was very knowledgeable of Mchale. He said he ruined The timberwolves badly.
Seriously, all our guards and wings will not finish the season su .400 from the field and sub .300 from deep. Wins is coming.
How about a big rotation of capela Dwight dmo and Anderson? We need our dmo back and maybe a stretch big as well. I still love this team
Their shooting is going to regress to the mean. If they keep up the defense, and I think they will, they'll make the playoff. But this team isn't good enough to take on the Spurs or GS in the playoff. Lawson was suppose to be that extra help the team needed. He plain sucks so far. Maybe he's still hung over from all his past activities. If he's still that way by all-star, Morey needs to do something.
