    I think we need to keep reminding ourselves this is what the season will be like, some nice wins like the last 3 and them some stinkers

    Yes.

    This team's problem is a combination of youth, and not much depth. Starters are playing way too many minutes to be expected to kill themselves on D and carry the full load of the offense for entire season.

    In the meantime get the youngsters a bunch of experience, keep your high dollar players relatively healthy for the year and try to hit gold with another high draft pick this June. If they can play loose on offense and then tighten the screws in subsequent years then I'm all for it.

    I get that . . . but what a depressing thought to be thinking draft pick 10 games into the season

    Only seems to play really well when he's angry.

    We need to employ someone to sit behind him on the bench, and poke him with a big stick all game.

    one can think it and still enjoy the season and watching guys like Meyers improve, it's just realism and IMO not depressing as IMO the future is looking a lot better then I thought before the draft

    If Wesley didn't play so hard I'd lose it with him.

    Matthews misses a wide open Leonard under the basket in favor of his own shot. Then barks at the ref when there's no foul call.

    Future was looking really good about 4 years ago . . . personally tired of the future looking good and thinking about next year. But your right, it is reality.

    Leonard is kind of lost on defense half the time, but I'm starting to like him.

    Trade for Gortat

    He actually rolls to the hoop on the pick and roll and gets open
