    Before all their transitional damage.

    o_O
    If we can see it unfold in real time, why can't it be adjusted mid game.

    Includes Jabari Smith and Eric Gordon. Gordon was 0 for 7. Just straight trash.

    Imitation is the greatest form of flattery...... contenders going to zone
    in order to beat us (Rockets) says a lot. They can't handle the Rockets now
    mano-a-mano.

    Rockets see enough zone this year will have us more prepared next season.
    What doesn't kill them will make our young players stronger.

    He isn't but if he played more spectacularly, the league would be over and full of Only fans so fast.

    We should feel lucky that his style is this slow game.

    Back to our .286 winning percentage. Silas was annoyed by the fast break points by Dallas (outscored 25-5). It takes quite a bit for him to call out KPJ. That and getting outscored 62-36 at the 3-point line makes it hard to keep the game close.

    2 straight games where teams have gone with accurate high volume 3 point shooting. 2 straight games where Sengun and his strengths are useless. if this guy could just step out to 18 and hit that shot it would open up so much not only for him, but for this whole team. Sengun is a special talent that has his place in very specific game situations. Feed him early, get him going and in rhythm so that hopefully as the game unfolds he will have the confidence to keep the defense from collapsing on him by just stepping out and popping a few jumpers. Once teams start running and gunning you cant slow the game down to force feed Sengun in the post - that is not catching anyone off guard anymore and you cant expect to trade 3's with 2's.

    Piss poor lineup assembly, horrible defensive effort by the whole team and continued abysmal shooting doomed this one, but as per usual this place needs a singular scapegoat to keep pointing at. Makes sense!

    which one though? Missing the open man like Bari or not running back or sulking? He has it all.

    I have a feeling that FernTits is going to go with something nasty like signing a broken down Harden or trade for LaVine and think that he has a team ready to challenge the prime Warriors.

    I actually think he's been pretty consistent with the direction of the team and listens to Stone.

    I can see a mistake in bringing back Harden. But I doubt Stone is going to do something as dumb as bringing someone like Lavine.

    I mean if Ferntits was about making quick bucks and being cheap he probably wouldn't be for a full rebuild and would rather go the Knicks route with mid vet talent and bottom seed playoff berths.

    The fact that he fully committed to a rebuild at least tells me he has SOME patience.

    First, you are right that he has committed to a rebuild and has thus far been more patient than expected.

    However, I have heard chatter from those that work for the team that the target had been 2023 and that TF has gotten impatient.

    McMahon, Stein and others have recently said something similar.

    So, I think the "listening to Stone" part is wearing thin.

    Also, it isn't like Stone has been Jerry West... there are concerns as well.
