We ain't got enough

Don't hate Capela.

He's not enough.

He's not good enough to be enough.

Sorry to rain on all the Capela fans parade. But he looked like he was sloshing around in a swimming pool of syrup trying to keep up with the rim attacks.

 

I'd like to think KOQ could help us. But I don't think he's really fast enough to keep up. We really need foot speed at the 5. Deyonta Davis....don't see that at all. Too inexperienced.

 

No rush to judgment. We're approaching the midpoint of the season. We are who we are. They were missing Durant. We were missing Harden. That's a wash. Except Durant makes their bigs even more versatile since he's 7 foot. Missing LMM, yes. But he's not enough.

Let's see where we stand at the end of the season? It'll be too late. If you're not first, you're last. We can't beat then in a 7-game series without another significant upgrade. Have to get the right bigs.

 

Our perimeter defense and offense is good. Especially with LMM and Paul healthy.

 

It's not just today's game. It's observing this team through 37 games.

We are very, very good when everybody healthy. Green adds another very in there. But.....we're not good enough to beat that team. Oh, we can beat them a couple games. We may play them better than anybody else. But second means nothing.

And it's simply not going to work with Anderson. He's exposed. Everybody and their brother knows he can't shoot at home. So they know how to negate the only advantage he brings to the floor. And defensively, the Capela/Anderson combo is just too slow to keep up. Even when we go small at the 4, Capela still struggles defensively against the Warriors. They killed us in the paint.....again.

Yeah, I know they kill everybody. But we're trying to win a ring here. Gotta call what is observable. "They kill everybody" ain't gonna win a ring. We have to upgrade our bigs....period.

In case you guys haven't been reading the news for weeks......here's what's going on.

Our SOLE FOCUS is beating the Warriors. Overreact? Is the organization overreacting by putting everything into beating the Warriors? No. That's who we've got to beat to win a ring. Gotta get the bigs figured out. We need something we don't have. More defensive deterrence at the rim. More versatile offensive skill sets.

 

That would help tremendously, specifically taking Nene back about ten years. But that's impossible. Gotta get an upgrade.

 

My opinion. We gotta find out if Qi can help us. He finally played the 5 last night at RGV. And looked great. We need to see what he looks like at the 5 up here. No I don't think he's the total answer. I want to find out if he can be part of the answer. All the talk about him being too thin is garbage. It's his skills that will make playable or not.

I also think we need to make a decision on Onuaku. Find out if he helps us defensively. If he can't....gotta consider doing something else.

I already suggested trying to get Anthony Randolph. He's NBA caliber talent with both defensive and offensive skill sets that fit us.

I think we've got to consider DJ. Then try to pick up a guy like Ilyasova on the waiver wire.....or the street.

I think we should see what it takes to acquire Noel or Julius Randle.

Kick the tires on Richaun Holmes.

Kick the tires on Favors or Udoh.

Need to check on Festus Ezeli and Larry Sanders. (Neither likely could help but need to know.)

Check with Memphis.

And then there's DeMarcus.

Not a lot to pick from. Gotta figure something out though.
