    I have read that Billups wants him to shoot more.

    miserable defense.

    dumbass game plan.

    turnovers again.

    need to see at least SOME improvement from this team, hard to stay encouraged when they play like this.

    It’s not just that they look completely confused, they also look dejected and unmotivated.

    Yes that is what is disappointing; they are playing like a team whose season is over with already. Where the fuck is the energy!?

    A poor end to the quarter. Weakness exposed and exploited. Down by 20 soon.

    2 plays in a row Dame blows by his man and gets in the paint. But instead of shooting, he tries some questionable passes.

    I would agree with that... but if what you say is true, that Hart gets to decide his role, that's problematic.

    I'd say agents have let some of our players know that they are on the trade block....if Hart is butthurt...that's probably part of it...we can't let him walk for nothing even though I'd like to keep him..he's a trade asset at this point.

    Chauncey needs to take the wind out of their runs and call quicker timeouts after a couple empty posseessions instead of waiting 8 possessions to stop the bleeding

    I get playing Ant off ball because he had to when Dame is on, but if you don’t trust him to run the second unit then this roster has even more issues.
