    You're in Kingspeed world. They failed to get any separation most of the game from NO, who was without Davis. That's like a 20 win team, and it was our home opener. We haven't looked good since game 2.

    This is the same team we were last year before Nurk. It's just about Dame and CJ putting up points 1 on 1, with poor defense.

    Playoffs are totally out of the question this year unless we get a resurgence of Nurk.

    Yep, waaay too many jumpers:

    Exactly. Bunch of Millennials up in here. This rebuilding process was never going to be a quick one.

    The issue was that most of the shots were contested +20 foot long shots. It wasn't until about the 4 minute mark where they started driving to the basket.
    Toronto has a great team. I like the length they have.

    This is a flaw in both Dame & CJ's games. We need a REAL PG who can run the offense and distribute the ball. Unfortunately, what we need is a big tall PG who can defend.
    I was really hoping Portland could have snagged Dinwiddie from the Nets in the Crabbe trade.

    I don't like bashing Stotts at all either but that was a bad game for him from a coaching standpoint. When your team is on the floor melting down it's up to the coach to restore composure to the players. He left time outs on the board and lost bad. You have to demand that they play better. I don't care about clock management at the end of a game. You do what it takes to put them on the right course.

    Lets hope Terry Stotts learned something last night.

    Both links are games against the Clippers on the road at full strength. This was a bit different. Down two starters and in the Rose Garden. Sorry i just don't see the comparison.

    brb 7th game of the season and people already shitting on CJ and demanding a trade.

    Sit down, drink some water, RELAX! they had an awful 2nd quarter, shots were blocked and missed, this isn't science.
    We've seen championship teams get blown out during the regular season in the past, this is the NBA.

    We played like shit on the offensive end for 1 quarter let's not overreact. If after 20 games or so we're around or below .500 and having awful streches of play like that than yeah it's another disapointing year, but I don't get why you're all acting like this game was the end of the world

    The problem is, the easiest part of the schedule is early so that is where this team needs to get out to a fast start. Staring slow like the last two years won't work. 7 of their last 10 are on the road and against tough opponents. Messing around for the first 20 games will make it be too late.
