    Just absolutely no ball movement. Melo goes out, CJ comes in....rinse, repeat.

    We have the least imaginative offense I have ever seen. I have seen better offense from high school teams.

    it really doesnt matter who is brought into the team, the philosophy and game plan never changes.
    quality players come in, get moulded into being worse versions of themselves in a worse system with worse results.
    dame pulls out some shit n saves the year.
    stotts plans for next year with another grace period.

    You know what'll settle this team down? When we bring in our savvy, pass-first backup PG!

    Our bench should be Trent, Kanter, Giles with as little of Melo as possible and probably Hood too.

    So far we can’t shoot, pass or defend. Makes the game a lot harder

    We could go 0-10 to start if this is how we look. Good shit.

    This defense is worse than the state of our country. HA. That's sad. :(

    9 years. 9 years and he still hasn't figured out a new playbook. It's absolutely pathetic.

    I was always annoyed by the announcers being super excited about a play when the team is down by doubl digits and playing like ass.

    Heard just said that Utah is the last team you want to work on a new defense against; pretty sure he said the exact same thing about Denver last week....
