They don't play defense! They need a coaching change, their offense is sloppy, they don't play physical, they lose home games at an alarming rate and finally, they are no good without Zion.
Been saying for years Treys potential is underrated
TM3! TM3! TM3! TM3!
Agree with you about lack of shooting, and so CJ should start after Z returns. Herb may have to become 6th man.
Am I the only person on Earth that thinks that Missi's minutes need to be massively reduced for a few games, and see what happens? And what if the Pels win half those games (which I think they will)? Regardless of his stats, the only stat that counts is winning, and they could go 9-73 with him playing over 20 minutes a game. Bad draft choice. I don't care if he's the top rookie at the moment. He's last in +/- and just not ready. He's messing things up for everybody all over the court. Start Thiess …play the other two big men, get JRE in there….anything!

If CJ works well you can probably plug Hawkins in to that spot as a "future" stop gap. So if CJ works I'm fine with that lineup. You at least know what to look for in the future.
My biggest concern (other than health) is Murray. I've got to see him do more. He's been mostly dreadful all year. He's not leaving the starting lineup, so he just has to be better and fit with whoever they put on the floor. I trust Herb more as a "shooter" than him at this point.
Missi has been a good find but I'd still like to see some good run out of Zion, Trey, CJ, Herb and Murray. That's your best chance of getting shooting around Zion. Not like our defense has been a difference maker with Missi, Herb and Murray on the floor anyway.
So sad for the city tonight, prayers to all those lost.
