There’s absolutely no excuse to EVER play Admiral and Kevon Harris together. What are you thinking Mosley.
I’m not having any fun
I know the FO want to lose. But I’m pretty sure Mosely won’t see it past the trade deadline, they’ll eventually understand the damage (beyond losses) this is doing… they aren’t that dumb, they are much closer to whats going on with the team than us. If we can see it from here, they almost certainly can
Who do we even get to replace Mosley?
When Schofield is our 3rd leading scorer on the night what do we expect, that was rough .
Quin Snyder on this team 😋😋😋😋
Admiral and KH were getting minutes over Mo and RJ whole season and thats why I truly believe this coach needs to be fired. This is just bad asset management no reason to ever play any of them and playing them together tells me we are tanking and should be investigated.
I truly dont even get Chuma getting minutes over RJ and I have been saying that whole season, I rather Caleb over Chuma (yes some may think that is wild) but Caleb has shown multiple ways to score and is an active and capable defender, RJ is a developing playmaker and is a great scorer and is always an energizer and fastbreak threat, Mo is the best center on this team, and is the best big man shooter and is the best rim protector and actually boxes out. No way Chuma/KH/Admiral get minutes over these 3 unless the team is tanking or the coaching staff is incompetent.
Honestly Mo should have been starting over Bol from the get-go (most teams dont make huge changes to things that work from the last season especially for a player like Bol who has big flaws and is still rusty). Mo and Dell was a competent and working duo last season, both of them were synergistic, and both of them had good numbers while together and showed strengths that fix the other weaknesses. Its ridiculous to not only change it for no reason (considering we knew Paolo was starting and we knew the problem last season wasnt the bigs but the guards). Cole/Suggs/Fultz was the decision not the bigs and the fact that the coach went the wrong way from G1 was a big indicator to me that this was a tank year and I was right. Mosley is incompetent, I understand the Bol hype, players were probably also feeding the players coach Mosley but honestly Bol is not a starter right now, he is a flawed defender and his skillset is redundant with Paolo/Franz/and Dell. Bol is best off the bench like we saw in preseason when Bol looked somewhat great in spurts.
Mo and Bol didnt work preseason since a great POA defender is needed to pair with Bol, but also shooters are needed with Bol so that takes away the SL and Mo is best with a great man-to-man defending big like Bol also but Mo needs slashers/playmakers instead so Mo can space. Mo fits best with players like Fultz/Suggs/Paolo/Franz/Dell all who are slashing playmakers hybrids and decent defenders while Bol fits best with players like Cole/Caleb/Ross/Gary/RJ, spacers that can play offball so Bol can slash inside and get a 1v1 since everybody is around the arc, and with Bol’s playmaking Bol can actively create with these type of playmakers. Somebody in the discord showed me this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSjpPg7qJvY, and yes this is how I think this team plays, and this type of motions need a player like Mo to actively create the mismatches and Mo is the best screener. I have said it many times already this season but Mo screens actively creates the highest scoring opportunities. Mo is the best rim runner, his physique makes him unguardable and a permanent lob threat for the 4 playmakers with him. Mo last season was one of the best PNP players also. Mo is the clear better fit for this type of system.
The coach honestly should have seen this from day 1 and the fact that we are still doing these experimental lineups that clearly do not work and clearly non-synergistic, and just causes dissatisfaction among the players is the epitome of dysfunction and incompetence.
‘Tis the season to be jolly
Bol has to come off the bench with Cole and Tross. Probably Gary and Mo when they’re healthy. Even when fully healthy, there will be a lot of growing pains. But guys need to start finding some kind of chemistry and stability
If you watched this entire game, you’re a glutton for punishment.
I had to turn it off a few mInutes into the 3rd.
