What do you expect from a team who's leader came into training camp late, fat, lazy, unmotivated and abandoned them after 4 games? You think the locker room was going to just magically bond after that? You have a cast of complete strangers except for Mac, Tucker and Gordon out there. The system revolved around Harden early on like it or not. Our lineup changes every day because of injuries, covid and trades. It's been 11 games. Lets chill
‘Fast rebuilds’ can easily turn into generational losing. I’d be careful with that approach and give coach Silas a chance to reinstate a winning culture sooner rather than later.
The hill that some see us as falling from was an illusion to begin with. Harden wasn't going to help us in 2021. End of story. If you mean from 2018 and the CP3 era, yea, that hill was real and it may be some time before we have a view from the top of it again.
Easy to blame Tillman, but you know who was really calling the shots was Harden. Then leaves it in shambles. Karma is a b****. It would be a miracle if wall wood dippo and boogie al of a sudden clicked and we win it all or pull an Astros and go to the finals!
not really. Tilman has always done what he wants to do no matter what anyone else says or does. That's why hes such a dumbass and in the wrong business of owning a professional sports team that involves others. The "my basketball ops got weak" will forever haunt this team
Get the **** out of here, the owner of the team is the one that is calling the shots, he even told you he was on a national radio show. Good luck with Wall/Wood/Dipo clicking and winning you anything.
err, harden forced hyenaface to make 2 dozen straight trade transactions taking back less annual salary?
We are 4-9 right now. We have the 4th worse record in the league...... this year we have beaten Sacramento, Orlando and San Antonio. We also are going to be without Wood the next two games so a really good chance we are 4-11..... not sure what else we need to prove we are a bottom feeder at this point. We still have a decent chance at keeping our own pick.
We can't try hard, eek out a sub .400 record (but with grit! and hustle!), then assume tank mode will work when 6 other teams are also in tank mode post-trade deadline. Has never worked that way and we'll be dropping that 5-7th pick to OKC. entitlement >>> facts
hardens diva behavior and inability to play with cp set the domino in motion. WB trade and Tillman being stupid sealed our fate. Need to move in
as much as I'd like to win ( given the chance to give OKC our pick ) ... we just dont have the talent or the chemistry right now. IMO our best player that is available is Jea'sean tate ... i mean . cmon well maybe gordon , but he is out alot too. ok now i forgot oladipo , but he might be gone in a month or so. Wall looked very good ( at least athletically) but hes not going to be at full strength this year I think. Either rust will be there or they will limit him as a precaution ( good thing) I really hope Tilman worked out a deal with Silver . Cavs and New Orleans lost franchise guys and were gifted with #1 . Just please get in the top 4. If we end up with the 5th or 6th worst record we have a decent shot at getting in the top slots too ( dont necessarily have to be #1 to get #1 ) Poor Poor Steven Silas lol . I think he can be a great coach , but covid and the superstar situation screwed him this year. I did like the little i saw of brodric thomas too . I hope he can get off the DnP list soon , but maybe his injury was significant .
I hate the new draft lottery now. Last year: -Cleveland had the 2nd worst record and ended up with the 5th pick -Atlanta had the 4th worst record and ended up with the 6th pick -Detroit tied for the 4th worst record and ended up with the 7th pick Top 3 picks were: -Minnesota (Tied for 2nd worst) -Golden State (worst) -Charlotte (9th) -Chicago (7th) So we would have to be in the top 2 worst teams to get a top 4 pick if that held true this year In 2019: Phoenix, Cleveand and Chicago were the 2nd, 3rd and 4th worst teams and they ended up with the 5th, 6th and 7th picks In this instance only the worst team hit the top 4 (Knicks with the 3rd pick)
Lol they said it was more fun to watch even if we get to sht on as long as players are playing with "heart, grit and team play."
Two of the next four opponents are Pistons and Wizards. What if they're better at tanking than us? Wizard could also play Russ and foil our tanking.
Wood. Wall, House all out for both games against Detroit. Detroit sucks but Cousins and Tucker will have to play center. Detroit will win both by at least 20 points. That is good for a possible bottom 4 pick. Might as well blow it up. Trade Tucker, Oladipo. and Wall if possible.
