Notice Preseason Positives and Negatives

The Lakers are in the same boat. But all their guys, minus AD ,are geezers.

 

Thank You Chris

 

Here’s a positive

 

Then my question to you is, would you be saying this if our team looked great this preseason? If you are comparing our poor preseason to the Lakers preseason, now THAT is silly.

 

I don’t remember anybody here saying Stotts was great. Do you? I remember people saying HE wasn’t the LONE reason they kept getting knocked out of the first round.

 

Wow, I WISH that was the biggest negative.
Find ONE "revisionist" who's saying Stotts was a "great" coach. Go on. We'll wait.

So which problem does it make more sense to fix first?

 

This might be my biggest negative of the preseason and one that’s most concerning.
Flat out, no debate these 2 NEED to play well this season, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! I was looking for them to get tons of preseason minutes, put up BIG numbers and to put pressure on Billups to keep them on the court as much as possible come regular season. How’d that work out for us? This was a very negative takeaway for me.

 

Really? Who was that in the first half of that 45 point loss then? If you mean they didn't play a FULL game, well, whose "key guys" did?

 

Not remotely to Minnesota.

We'll never know because Morey won't even consider it.

 

This is the EXACT reason we will not make the playoffs. You expecting consistent positive play form the 4 people you just said ‘SHOULD”. What from this preseason I ask you, makes you think that those 4 “SHOULD” contribute?

 

Bro.
Is this what your taking with you into regular season? That CAMP was wearing them down? Wait til the travel kicks in.

 

And if we were undefeated?

 

But will they finish ahead of us in the standings?

 

The one that can be fixed. As long as they both get fixed, what is the point of quibbling?

BTW, you can parse the words all you want - you've made it quite clear you think Billups sucks and Stotts is great. Just own it.

 

I don't recall many saying Olshey was blameless. I sure haven't claimed that. I wanted them both gone, but I will take a coaching change over doing nothing.

 

why have 5 guys on the roster under 6'4 when you can have 6

 

I am wondering, not for the first time, whether Olshey actively tries to put together a bad bench.

 

This how I look at it do we have the personal to run this defense that Billups wants. What I have seen I say no due to we still don't have enough lock down defenders. The center position has to be very active in the middle I don't know if Nurk is that center plus Zellers might be better fit in that position then Nurk is. Rebounding was problem last year and I see the same thing happened this year running small ball. Offensely it's still focusing on the 3 but getting in different ways with a different offense. I think this season might be a down season trying to get this new look in place. They got until next Wednesday correct a lot problems.
