    We're getting lapped by teams who were so far behind us.

    our defense is handcuffed by a fucking amateur. and he's so basic in every aspect of nba coaching, it's just shameful.

    people need to stop relying on jordan kent for basketball analysis and open their eyes.

    2021 all-stars:

    Utah - 3
    Suns - 2
    Clippers - 2
    Denver - 1 (MVP favorite)
    Lakers - 2 (3rd place before the Lebron AD injury)
    Portland - 1
    Dallas - 1

    Also happens to be the same order they appear in the standings. It's like a direct correlation between top end talent and success. I'll take the teams with 2+ all-stars in the playoffs. Who wants the 1 all-star teams that are loaded with role players?

    How bad is Sacramento’s defense that we have been this terrible defensively yet still remain ahead of them?

    2020--> 2021

    Whiteside, Hezonja, Tolliver, Trent, Hood, Bazemore, Ariza --> Nurkic, Jones, Roco, Powell, Kanter, Giles

    and our defense gets worse.

    it's not fucking personnel. don't let jan stotts let you think this is on anyone other than our clueless coaching.

    This is the same as when Olshey was asked about why he hasn’t brought in a backup point and he goes because our formula is CJ. Yeah no shit you morons, that’s why we’re asking!

    I want multiple all-stars. Preferrably at least one who can play defense.

    Is that a crazy ask?

    I didn't tweet anything! Who are the two all-stars from the 2018-19 season that were good at defense?

    Also, could someone please let Jordan Kent know that the term 'near miss' can more succinctly be called 'miss'.

    Claims we had two all-stars two years ago and when asked to provide the names, puts me on ignore.

    Probably the smartest move in a while.
