    That’s cool how Trent got 0 minutes in the second half while Tolliver did that really shows the team minutes are earned not given.

    I really don’t think this is that bad. We’ll be back next year fully healthy. Why not just develop the young guys, keep getting Simons better, get something for Whiteside/Baze use the new lottery pick for help and run that shit back next year.

    Its clear this roster is broken

    Dame was 6/10. If you add free throws he had 15 shooting possessions. He scored 27 on those 15 shooting possessions. CJ shot 11/21, adding free throws he had 22 shooting possessions. He scored 24.

    Olshey is as much of a salesman as he is a GM. Last year after make no moves he sold us on how important chemistry was. People that change would be exciting and bought in to the crap Olshey was selling. Unless you're getting vets chasing rings, you should be skeptical if any addition for the vet minimum or in a trade for Evan freaking Turner or Meyers Leonard.

    This season other teams are really good...best parity I've seen in the league maybe ever..and scouting reports with all the movement aren't even complete yet...it's a weird season but I think it's good basketball...not seeing blowouts around the league

    When you have Dame and CJ and they are without Fox and Bagley.... you are Sheppard to win those games.

    Why? The injuries screwed us. It’s not because our roster is completely healthy and we suck.

    We’ll be back next year healthy and a low level lottery pick we can atleast use for something

    You're right; they have a coach who has made some adjustments and got them going.

    Personally, I don't expect those guys to play great - but I expect them to play hard and smart. Isn't that what you bring in guys like that for?

    oh come on everybody loved the moves we made. Although the Tolliver and Pau signings were weird a lot of us including myself thought we made nice upgrades

    I don't think the two guys in question (Tolliver / Mario) don't play hard. Smart, well, that's a bit more tricky. I haven't seen anything about their basketball IQ that is any worse than before we signed them. We are starting vet minimum guys and getting vet minimum production out of them, this shouldn't be surprising. Expecting these guys to be solid contributors as a starter would be surprising.

    Injuries dude. That’s what did us in. We’ll have a decent lottery pick and health next year
