    I get when shots aren't falling, but this team completely pretty lost when Meyers was put in. That's on Stotts. Same with the turnover issues. This team never plays with composure, which is a reflection of the coaching.

    Ball movement ceases to exist with both Dame and CJ on the floor. Whichever has the ball primarily looks to score off the dribble and everyone else stands on the perimeter or sets a ball screen.

    No they aren't, but they're better than other team's benches...
    Also I still am not 100% on the Collins bandwagon, but he definitely deserves to starting over Aminu at this point... Maybe Even Nurkic lol...

    Stop, you're making too much sense. Terry's head will explode.

    He was ALWAYS a mediocre coach, his entire career. Did we REALLY hate McMillan so much that we wanted to put up with this shit for 5 years?

    Is it too early to start a draft thread and hope for the lottery? ;)

    I'd rather put up with Stotts coaching than McMillans.

    Dame is being used off the ball, but I don't really think that's his game (not that he can't do it), also I think the ball movement is still better than last years. Everything else I agree.

    Dame literally advocates for himself to play off the ball more

    Then when he's not on the ball he needs to make better cuts and move better. He can advocate for it all he wants but he doesn't work hard to get in good position to get passes quite frequently when he's off the ball.

    The team is playing like they're already eliminated from the playoffs, where Indiana is playing like they want to make the playoffs.
