The even more painful thing is this team isn't just bad this year, they don't really have an exciting future either.

Jaquez, JRich and Duncan a combined 4-26. How.

JRich is washed, Jaime isn’t ready. I can’t say I’m surprised

Need to change things up because the current mix ain’t working.

We'll turn this around by winning the prestigious in-season tournament championship.

They could, if they started playing Jovic. He’s our youngest and highest upside player in a position of need.

They can implement a review system in crucial plays but they rather not.
Highsmith was playing lights out, but Spo opted for Richardson and Duncan.

It's fine to be upset about JRich and Duncan, but this was Highsmith's first game back from a knee injury. Spo probably wanted to limit his minutes.

Bucks lost again tonight. Dame had 15 points. Beal ain't even playing since March. Imagine if we got BOTH of them this summer. You think the Heat are any better so far? :lol:

I bet Heat are still 1-4 LOL

The core 3 were fine (better than fine, really). It was everybody else that was bricking open shots. Just one of those nights.

Jaime ... rookie

JRich ... trying to get back up to speed

Duncan ... mental case since signing that contract he knows no one thinks he deserved

Hallstar · Post #173 » by **Hallstar** » Thu Nov 2, 2023 2:13 am

And find a way to get Naz Reid as our starting PF, give up Jovic if we're not gonna develop him

Post #174 » by **Wiltside** » Thu Nov 2, 2023 2:13 am

Highsmith was good. Herro and Bam were both very good. Jimmy showed a pulse.

Everyone else was pretty awful.

Dame was gonna create a whole new batch of problems in both the short-term and the long-term. He’s a star, but he’s not prime LeBron or 2016 KD that’d patch up everything.

I’ll be really happy if we end up with Collier.

I’d like to see the rotation as:

Lowry / Richardson
Herro / Robinson
Butler / Jaquez
Highsmith / Martin
Adebayo / Jovic

Could be an interesting look.

We badly need more shot creation and PG play. It’s a noticeable drop when Lowry sits right now. Need to scour for a proper backup that isn’t Dru Smith, or preferably a legit starting quality 1.
