Tyrese expected to carry shorthanded team Devin isn't. Slight difference in playing times too

I’d play Joe W over Bryn every day of the week at this point. He actually competes.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

You can’t really blame the team for taking games off. It’s obvious the coaching staff goes into the occasional coma.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Also this team really needs a real PF and a serviceable back up center.

[offset formation]

I hear that but how the have they beat some pretty good teams and competed with others? I agree they need an established star but they're not that bad where they should lose to a depleted Kings team.

They routinely play up or down to their compe ion. Sign of coaching imo, or a ty team mental make-up. it's one or the other, or a combination of both.

what really stands out to me is how often they've lost to really mediocre teams missing their best players. They are simply not a good team. Only remaining hope is that Primo and Collins come in and give us something collectively that changes the dynamic of this team. Because this is the kind of the team that loses to the 11th best Western Conference team by double digits, without their best player and two key bench guys. Or the 13 worst Eastern Conference team without 2 starters and 2 bench guys.

Hield routinely destroys us and yet either coaching or poor skill players allows it to happen...it's not a new thing sadly.

Landale on defense was a complete disaster ... i think he blew his first chance

[siraulo23]

this team gives up 120+ every night got damn

[siraulo23]

Spurs were right there tho, nobody was stopping Hield tonight, he was on fire.

Haliburton played nearly flawless too, i think he missed 1 maybe two jumpshots but thats it.

rough minutes there from Landale, he played so well vs Utah

Who played great defense!?! They kept putting a struggling Purtel in the spin cycle an he didn't give us anything on the offensive side of the ball. At least Jock spreads the floor. Purtel, Eubanks, an Thad just always clogs the lane.

[Rocalcio]

Buddy Hield on absolute fire. Lol at the Lakers choosing to trade for Westbrook instead of him.

They needed a point guard

[Mugen]

Great loss! Onto the next one...

[spurraider21]

They needed a point guard

not a good reason to acquire westbrook

[spurraider21]

john collins would have been pretty close to perfect

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

L Train back on track!

They have lebron. Also, could’ve kept Schroeder for cheap.

[Rocalcio]

I’m the first to say that Westbrook at LA isn’t a good fit, they could have brought someone else indeed.

[jbspurs]

If I am not mistaken, Shroeder turned down the Lakers offer thinking he will get better offer from other teams only to get a lot less.
