True, but he had prime CP3 and Blake Griffin in LAC and then Kawhi and PG13.

He had Embiid and Harden in Philly.

The guy has had extremely talented teams. He's just a mediocre coach.

Thats kinda what I'm saying. I agree. Phil or Riley would have won with most of those teams i think. Maybe not the clips because they were ALWAYS getting injured. Lol.
 
Wtf????? Okay. This medical staff needs to be investigated along with Billups’s practice drills/procedures. How many other teams have had three players in two years have the happen?

At least we can still watch the development of Camara and Haggans

Correct me if I am wrong but has Camara's game developed much at all from early on? Was hoping his offense would improve but don't see it, am I missing something?

Expecting a guy's offensive game to develop over 40 games and three months isn't that realistic. I know people talk about it and think that it is, but it's the exception rather than the norm. You need off-time to workout on your own, then you bring those things you've worked on to team practice and then only after thousands of repetitions is the average player ready to use them in a competitive game.

Consider also Camara's usage in this offense and the amount of energy he expends on defense and it's even less likely to expect his offensive game to blossom over night.

What we should be looking for him right now is to show a little more general confidence, particularly handling the ball and maybe, MAYBE a slight uptick in 3P%. Really, though, most decent players make a noticeable improvement between years 2 and 3, because they've gotten out there and played, figured out what they need to do and have had a couple of offseasons to work alone or in pairs to get those skills down.

Makes Scoot's improvements even more impressive.

Yes, but he already was ahead of Camara in several respects, and his offensive usage gives him more opportunities to tweak and tinker with things. He's still not that much better than when he started. He just adjusted to the speed of the game and figured out that getting to the line and making his FTs was worth 6 pts per game.

My inclination (hope) is we won't believe that Scoot two years from now is THIS Scoot.

Hmm, wonder why he forgot to list Greg Oden.

I have a theory that it’s hard to define the injury and doesn’t carry the prognosis of a back injury so it’s perfect for a tanking team.

I fucking wish it was Ant and Jerami with and adductor injury that's hard to define and helped us tank while Scoot got the kind of reps that Shaedon wrapped up last season with. I'm still hoping that this is a legit injury that they are being cautious with and that we'll see Scoot back soon with Ant and hopefully Jerami sitting the rest of the way.

Now Ayton has a strained hand.
It’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what you might get?

If we are tanking it's all about asset value. To play Simons and Grant two likely assets to be involved in trade package in off season should stabilize or increase their value? To me, since it appears the team is looking at another year or two of tanking it best to play it safe with injuries to Shae & Scoot.

I agree about Shae and Scoot but I think teams know what they have with Ant and Jerami. Playing them both against teams like the Grizzlies who we have to games in a row coming up just doesn't make sense for the tank. Let our established players get run if we get under the Hornets and have a cushion.

Yeah but having them sit out with injuries hurts their value.
