    We were probably always headed here as soon as we let Stotts take the fall and replaced him with a rookie coach with next to no experience coaching at any level.

    The shit show was written on the walls.

    What should have happened was we should have fired Olshey, kept Stotts and gotten him a defensive coordinator.

    I'd much rather have Stotts overseeing this rebuild than Billups.

    This team looks like it has no idea what it's supposed to do.

    Scoot has to be the Point Guard and the ball in his hands, otherwise he's wasting his time here.

    Is it just me or does it look like the young guys play with way more effort?

    I know this is the third string.... but Scoot looks SO much better when he's the unquestionable point guard of the team.

    Whoever is telling Grant he can dribble needs to knock it off... He shouldn't dribble. Pretty much ever.

    Yup. We need to trade Grant, Ant and Brogdon pronto. We also need to get DA involved.

    Billups did same shit with Dame last year trying to play him off the ball and team struggled. Wonder how many games it will take before he realized Scoot needs the ball in his hands to be successful.

    I want Scoot and Shaedon as the backcourt that plays 30+ minutes. Hopefully Simons and Brogdon get traded soon
