I really was not ready to tank. I'm just so tired of accepting losing... And I had such high expectations for this team this season. I didn't think the Lance signing really mattered either way, although I did say since last season that he wouldn't fit here... Regardless, I expected AL to play at the same level and everyone else to get a year better.

I expected PJ to get legit minutes and score.

I expected Noah to get playing time.

I expected Taylor to not get charged with DV, and be a key contributor again.

We only really lost McBob (which Cody has basically negated), and CDR from last season... I just can't believe that we ended up being this bad with the additions we made.

Btw that last play would have been a great call if Marvin was in Al's place instead of throwing in the ball.

But that's what I was saying... Why was AL in there at all?

If Noah can do anything right now, it's shoot from outside. He's probably the best big we have for it. We needed a three... Clifford is just a fuging idiot. I mean, we could go small and just put PJ or JT in because it's the last shot, but Noah would force them to keep a big in and cause a mismatch.

I didn't buy into the idea that he was purposely losing, but after the last few games, I think there's some validity to it. Tonight was the final straw... That poo with putting JT in for defense and then not calling timeout with them down by two was fuging sabotage if I have ever seen it.

At best, had the transition in the offseason been smooth, this team would have been where Toronto is right now, and do you see anyone fearing Toronto as a legitimate contender?

 

Short of that, this is the next best option, as it's clear as day this team needs new direction, whether that's in building the roster, coaching the roster, or both. Another seven seed, token sweep by LeBron would have done nothing. A season like this speaks volumes.

But, that's the problem... The direction won't change, at least not for another year. Al will accept his option and be here next season. That alone guarantees we will be a middle-of-the-road team for another year.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
