    And we have some problems that should be inexcusable for anything better than a bottom-tier G-League team.

    Sure. Sometimes. More often, it’s about talent. Continuity. Personnel. Star players. We are missing all of those.

    Even if we lose tonight, we are still ahead of Spurs and Pels. So we will be 9th.

    Watching Melo brick midrange isolations gives me flashbacks to the Memphis games years back where we just repeatedly tried to live off Aldridge fade-aways despite the efficiency being dismal.

    I suspect being healthy wouldn't have made as much of a difference as people think.

    It's stupid. I hope that we don't bring him back as anything more than a vet who doesn't play... He hasn't learned how to play more efficiently. The only thing that's stopping him from being a solid starter is his shot selection and his lack of effort on defense... It's frustrating.

    We didn't even have Nurk or CJ end of last season and still ran off wins to get 3 seed last year. And oh, made it to the WCF when CJ came back. I wouldn't count Stotts out. He has consistently gotten a lot out of this team after the break.

    We got the #3 seed because Ant defied Stotts effort to get the #4 by sitting everyone.....and Ant/Skal went off!

    Yeah, because we had players that Stotts didn't have to coach defense to. Stotts has never made a positive impact on our defense. EVER. He doesn't help bad defenders improve. He doesn't help average defenders become good. He doesn't help good defenders become great. He isn't good schematically on that end. Stotts deficiencies can be masked to a certain extent.

    A lot of people look at results without context. I look at the context (aka, what is truly happening out there on the floor?)

    Our only hope is New Orleans going cold. When Melli misses, good things happen for us.

    That was one of the reasons. That wasn't the only game we played that season.
