    What has me discouraged is we've seen absolutely NO improvement from the 2nd pre-season game to now. This team keeps talking about how it needs more "time", yet it hasn't improved with that time.

    It’s a huge issue if he can’t score. It impacts things. If he’s not a threat it makes the offense even easier to defend.

    I am already done with Jordan Kent. We have not done a fine job keeping pace.

    Sure Harden might not be as excited about us but CJ is ballin so that might give the Rockets something to think about.

    We’ll “figure this out”. The only guy that visibly gives a fuck is Dame. RoCo playing well on defense. As far as I am concerned everyone else is part of the problem. Some bigger than others.

    He cashes in catch-and-shoot 3s.

    Problem is, we have absolutely no fucking ball movement. Or player movement. So he can't get a clean look. Hence why he hasn't scored.
