Where to go from here? Not looking good....

[Drttimmy]

Go from where? We are in the SAME place we were at the start of training camp. Nothing has changed. We don’t have a lot of talent......... some including myself sees this team EXACLTY where we thought it would be. No need to go anywhere? Makes some moves or not, this is a .500 team at best.

I'd argue it's the same place since 2015. The team took a devastating blow losing two of their top three players for nothing that summer, and tried to replace the losses with condemned league castaways, rejects, and orphans. I'm an Olshey skeptic, but I can't blame him for what he's done since then trying to keep this team competitive. He's dealing with crumbs and expected to make gourmet out of it. It's painfully clear, from my POV, the tank rebuild should have been set into motion immediately that summer. But Olshey was given a directive from Allen to keep the team competitive at the same time. It's just wishful thinking. So, where do we go from here? That's only a question Allen can answer.

The did lose quite a bit with nothing coming but but then again, what did they really lose? LA has done nothing but help the Spurs start to decline, Matthews has been a shell of his former self, and Nic is still Nic...tons of talent that doesn't play up to it most nights. Shot 40% from the field last year.

I do think we have enough talent to play above .500 but right now we don't play even at .500 as team. Yes I know we right at .500 but how long will that last the way we are playing. You got run a offense to player strength and our strength is not the 3 ball right now.

We lost 4 of our 5 starters from a damn good team bro. What they’ve done elsewhere means nothing.......

 

[blue9]

Yikes - just got back from vacation and saw that we're sitting at 6/6. So much for that easy schedule, huh? Anybody calling for Tater Totts head on a spike yet? If not, let me be the first!

 

[blue9]

Why would you give him even 1 more game?! We just lost at home to the Brooklyn Nets!!! He left our starting center having his best game of season on the bench the entire 4th! He has to go now!!!

Wait, WHAT!?!

Not sure it means nothing. So we bring Matthews back after his injury. What good would that have done?

Screw Wes, he was hearing CJs footsteps all season anyways. Dame,CJ,Nic,LA,Rolo....... shit! NOW all of your 55 win predictions would be spot on!

Well...they weren't my 55 game win predictions.

Understood

Lack of talent isn't why we're losing games. It's chemistry, effort, and closing mistakes (decision making, questionable lineups, poorly fitting parts). We've been in position to win nearly every game in the final possession, which doesn't happen if you only have .500 talent.

And I know that Neil tried.... he went after PG13. He went after Melo. But in the end, we dumped Crabbe for literally nothing.

 

[Shaboid]

Where do we go from here? We draft this kid next year:


Mainly so we can see the reaction from @Mediocre Man

 

[dviss1]

Lulz... Y'all in here trippin. None of y'all said any of this shit when we beat OKC... Jesus...

Nothing wrong with Tinkle--he doesn't play center.

We can't draft him if he keeps that haircut. Unacceptable.

I fully believe any other GM would've traded us PG.

That was a big win? They're struggling just as much as we are.

So. How many people in here picked them for top 4 when it's all said and done?

Exactly...

Now you're changing your objection...

 

[dviss1]

Now you're changing your objection...

How is that? I thought we did well to beat OKC. I was happy. I'm not changing an objection at all (whatever that means..).

 

[Schilly]

What did Vegas say the over/under was before the season started? 41.5 IIRC. Kinda sounds like the pace we are on.

 

[Sinobas]

We need to find out where #42 is and sign him no matter the cost. He reminds me of John Stockton

Only if we get the wolf..

As long as we know that going in

Get #55

Surely you can see the shift if your argument?

I don't think I shifted my argument at all no matter what you say. I believe that you were one of the people that said OKC was going to be good am I wrong? Just because they're struggling now doesn't mean that they will be toward the end of the season. My comment was reflecting that. I could give a damn if they're struggling now. Everyone in here said that they were going to be a top 4 team.

So we beat a top-tier team in everybody else's eyes, but for some reason other that win doesn't get much love. I disagree.
