I was hoping 30 or more games won this season.
Our record will probably end as 32-50. We started the first 20 games 8-12. If we win 8 games per 20 games played, we will end the season 32-50.
Trajan needs to make a trade.
You keep saying that “needed” to play better this month but you were saying a goal. They needed to be better to what? Make the playoffs? I don’t think you can say they needed to be better to show progress which is what we should all want. I think the progress is undeniable so I disagree they needed to do better than 7-8 in Nov. I wanted them to be but they did not need to be.
Ivey should stop dribbling into double teams or traffic. He also usually gets into trouble when driving and jumping into the lane without knowing what to do with the ball. This usually ends up into an errant pass or the ball getting defelcted
Let the team take their bumps and bruises and develop as best they can. We need another offseason of a lottery picks and various upgrades before we are ready to play truly competitive ball against the big boys. Patience, I know it's hard after all the years of againy, but rushing the processes will end us back at square -1, where we've been for almost 20 years now.
Cade's biggest contributiont to this team is his leadership and control their sets on the offensive end
Sadly, I got no concern. Will not be shocked if Cade is ready for in season. Rebound issue cause most lost.
Why we think we have talent on this team,we are a dumb low IQ team.almost ever team finds more talent.
JB's weakness is not benching THJ!!! Holland has to get developmental time…still believe that Simone can be a floor spacer and AUSAR should play ALOT as he gets in shape! Tobias has been disappointing, he needs to get it going or trade him!
Winning 20 games in the horrible tanking East would be an embarassment…30+ should be the goal along with competing for a play-in spot!
This is a very bad team without Cade, which is to be expected.
The in season tourney is a JOKE!!!!!!!!! NOBODY CARES about a meaningless tourney that just rewards the players a few more $$$$!
I think ivy would best with a 4 or 5 that's good at passing and making plays from top of the key. Bagley was actually good at that. Even tho he was a bad perimeter shooter he was quick and good at driving to the basket so his defender couldn't sag off to much and double ivy or cade. I think vucevic or olynk could do the same thing we're if players double ivy they're gonna pay. Players have no problem leaving duren or stew open in high pick and rolls.
