If we shoot enough threes eventually positive regression hits, right?

PREVIEW

Time to put the past away and step back from that ledge my friend, and hopefully get our first win of the season. If not, I promise it’s not the end of the season, or even the end of the world

    I remember guys hating on me because I disagreed that smart replacing brooks was a lateral move lol. I’ve been saying smart is a way better player than brooks

    This FO seemed to bank on the top end talent of Smart/Bane/Jaren (Ja when hes back) to make up for the loss of Melton, Kyle, Dillon, Tyus etc over the last 2 years so when you lose Santi, Adams, Kennard, and BC (and whatevers going on with Jitty) it really highlights how little depth we have left. Plus Kennard on his slump also accentuates how we have maybe 1 plus shooter on the team(Bane) depending on if Jaren can start hitting his threes and maybe Santi would count.

    Hope all these extra minutes early for Roddy and Laravia pay off down the stretch but honestly I am hoping to stay above .500 this year. All these injuries really accentuate the team still needs shooting, and not having BC and Adams we gotta figure out an identity since we cant rebound.

    Lot of doomer takes lately. Let’s look at it this way: remember when we traded an objectively better center for Steven Adams? Most people didn’t really like it at first, but it changed our playing style and ultimately made us a much more powerful team. I think Kleiman was quoted saying that the move was to “take the training wheels off” (referring to our ability to rely on JV to score). This is an opportunity for us to look at this as another “take off the training wheels” exercise and tune our game to the players we have, especially with some new faces around and a guy like Tillman, who seems to be down to rise to any occasion and pleasantly surprise us. As much as I LOVE Adams, we rely on him too damn much. Give this squad a little time to work out the kinks before we start talking about tanking or resetting.

    Man, it really sucks to lose a close one with another game a time zone away in like 20 hours

    If we had an average Bane first half this could’ve been a different game, happy with the effort anyways the boys are no easy out

    Don’t care if we lose. Great showing on the defensive end and restricting Jokic’s abilities and solid showing from the bench.
