Talks about how no one really respects our starting perimeter guards and why we can't adjust. I felt this way after the first few games. Main reason i feel our future depends on getting Stephen Curry to come home and replace Kemba. Either that or were going to have to get lucky and find a draft gem

Kind of reminds me of the Raptors last season. They got better after they traded Rudy Gay.

What's discouraging is that this team should be much better offensively than last season, and you caught a glimpse of what could happen if everything went well in the first half of the Portland game.

Cho knew what that article pointed out would be an issue and brought in Marvin Williams to space the floor but he's even less of a scoring threat than MKG.

IMO the bench is more of an issue than the starters as is the lack of creativity. Brian Roberts, for all his efficiency scoring, doesn't take care of the ball and is a worse version of Kemba. I don't have to explain Maxiell's issues. Not absolving the starters here but an upgrade at backup PG and C would do wonders.

Also, we have a big decision to make regarding Al. The scoring strength of these starters lies in their ability to drive the ball, not spot up shooting. The problem is Al needs the paint in order to score. Otherwise with he's defense he becomes a major negative out on the court.

It's early and this schedule isn't conducive to trying to ease your way into establishing chemistry but I think we will see a much better result once they come back East off this gauntlet of a schedule they have right now.

I think time will heal all. We have new players that need to develop chemistry together, we need to figure out the right starting line up and rotations. I wouldn't mind a trade but what would we give up? We don't have a lot of depth at forward/ center and I don't think anyone wants Henderson. That leaves draft picks.

Like cbarrier90 said we need a backup PG and C badly. I didn't like the Roberts signing when it first happened and now that I am seeing him play I dislike it even more. He does a terrible job protecting the ball and isn't knocking down the deep balls like people saw him do in NO. I really wish we would have tried to sign a vet like Jameer Nelson.

 

Center isn't as big of an issue I blame that more on Clifford. Biz seemed to be developing some what and he already was a solid rim protector which our second unit is painfully missing. Maxiell doesn't even average 2 rpg or a blocked shot as a backup C getting 12 to 16 min per game. Every time Maxiell enters the game we get torn apart in the paint and rely on Cody to rebound and play the rim protector. I just don't understand Clifford's logic.

Roberts def isnt starter material but is a def upgrade over Ridnour.

I wanted jameer but he's been hot garbage this year.

As far as Roberts, his ball security isn't greatbut his assist to turnover numbers are the same as the starter.

Regardless, Roberts isn't a good passer on a team of players that aren't good passers.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
