    Udoka can't install any system on the team. That's why we need Harden.

    You can call me out for not being a real fan or whatever but I m glad I have tapered off in watching this team the past couple of years and switched more to the Texans. There’s a bunch of ok to good players but there’s no player we have that is going to be a superstar unfortunately. I would love to be wrong

    “Chucker” implies he’s not making them. He is. And he’s the only one doing anything at the moment.

    just because they're young doesn't mean they have potential.

    There is no deeper team in the NBA than us. Our 14th guy would be starting.

    The NBA is a god damn clown show. Play in tournament. Midseason tournament. Carnival basketball with phantom calls. Everyone only shoots 3’s

    Yeah he seems to settle for threes when it's going in for him right now, he needs to play like Ja Morant but he can't finish at the rim and doesn't know how to draw fouls.

    Yeah the swings here are pretty wild. Last night everyone was happy and now? We're not an elite team, we're not a top 4 team, we are a team trying to sneak into the playoffs this year. That means there will be a lot of losses. We're not the Celitcs or Mavs. We're not going be a 60 win team. We're going to look bad some nights. Some nights we're going to look great. It is what it is.

    A 9 minute scoring drought is insane though lol. It has me wondering what the record is.

    Too many system players when what we need is a system, player.

    They need to package some players for a star as soon as possible so players can have defined roles. This starting lineup has lacked chemistry since last season and I'm starting to wonder if Udoka knows wtf he's doing.

    He hasn't really been good offensively in any of the games TBH.... He's missing a lot of shots around the rim and needs to focus and be more decisive with his moves.

    The man built a business empire convincing people his restaurants serve good food. He is just trying to transition that same energy to the team.

    For the record I still believe we are good team, but some things our players did well last year are not being done this year. Alp to me is being used a little differently. It's like they just want him to force it down low when he hasn't played like that the last three years. You seeing this as well @AroundTheWorld @cml750 ?

    Not as many PnRs with FVV either.

    I also don't know what happened after we cut the lead down to 4, the spurs called time out and we basically stopped doing anything? What was that.

    Nah, they do their launching as part of an offensive strategy. Ime's offensive gameplan is "work harder on defense."
