That's not going to get it. This team can't be Trae and the "others". Once he goes to the bench or gets trapped, it's like the Washington Generals out there. 

The solution is better players

[JayBirdHawk]

It's Trae and everybody else. Anyone saying this team as is is talented without Collins and Huerter is delusional.

Our rookies are rookies and dissapear. Jabari plays well against his former team then disappears, Vince is really showing his age, we never know which Center will give us anything, Bembry giveth and taketh away. Turner and Crabbe, meh.

They're not good enough to execute in close games.

@kg01. This should have been a win for kg05, but alas it wasn't in the cards.

If you can't see how LP failed REALLY BADLY in the 3rd qtr then you need to rewatch the game carefully and figure it out.

I can tell you though....Wanna know? The Jabari at the 4 and Djones at the 5 is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE LINEUP. 

It doesn't matter who you have at the 1,2 and 3 if you have Jabari at the 4 and Djones at the 5 it is a HUGE NEGATIVE. Every, single, time. 

 

It's been a horrible lineup because those two can't defend at all. Those two miss rotations all of the time

It's supposed to be Trae, John, Kevin, the rookies and the "others" but alas......

Hunter with 40 minutes +10

 

His defense has looked great but hasn’t given much offensively since the 27pt Bucks performance.  A lot of bad fouls and missed opportunities.

I hope this is eating John up to see this. This is his fault.

Hunter and Cam have been disappointments, sorry. Hunter has been ok, but for all we gave up he has not lived up to the billing. And Cam has one of the lowest shooting %'s in the NBA, dude just doesn't have it.

Poor Trae. Only player worth a damn on this team. Hunter has gone ghost the last three games, our bigs are garbage, Vince is done, and our bench gives no help.

Young team that needs to learn how to win. Too many bad fouls, turnovers, and bad shots tonight. Trae forcing passes and getting lost amongst the trees. We need Huerter and Collins back!

This next draft is crucial to the rebuild. We need another STAR!!

We need solid vets. Look at Toronto and Miami.

Why? They haven't gone through a tear down and rebuild. It's not comparable at all.

Next draft will net us our center or a quality bench player, but our next star will come from free agency or a trade. Looking squarely at KAT.

[NBASupes]

I don't think y'all realize how hard Hunter and Cam plays especially on defense? It takes a lot more energy than just being food on defense and being about to shoot and score like say someone like Rui, etc. It will take some time for both of them to develop offensive consistency, especially Cam since he is also raw. 

That said, this lost really can be pinned to Parker. He was terrible on both ends and played 31 minutes. His minutes hurt us tonight.

It's going to be a struggle for anyone we draft at first. There isn't a Zion in this class.

Is anyone else looking up Luka Doncic’s career high in points in a game on google too? You liars  

He has 39 so far tonight. He and TRae are insane.

A number of his fouls was protection fouls. His f***ing teammates were constantly out of position. It's hard to play with these guys defensively. We need to really make an effort to land Nerlens Noel

Exactly. Nobody (especially anybody that found this forum) likes to see us lose games..but I can’t get too mad until I see us play full strength. Hopefully soon.

Their wings are crap too, But at least Hardaway can shoot.

I get their defense but the expectation from a #4 pick offensively particularly for a team that needs it is disappointing so far.

Cam just can't seem to shoot his wide open shots, he's weak driving and makes every drive and attempt to finish more difficult than it needs to be.
