  • I think you don’t really understand how our offense works, a true point guard is helpful but not super necessary for our offense to work, we often run DHO’s with Bam at the elbow or high elbow, we do a lot of off the ball motion that doesn’t require the point guard to do much, this isn’t the pacers offense that revolves almost solely on Halliburton.

    We’ll be just fine without those guys, this isn’t a small sample size, 2 years ago bam missed like 3 weeks and we played extremely well, this year we have shown to have depth at big, did you watch ORob play? That wasn’t against a scrub front court, he played well.

    We play well with guys missing like all the time.

    This is what I mean by people just have those weird forgetful memory of the history of this team the last 4 years.


  • Wait what? Depth is literally our biggest strength… what makes you think we aren’t deep? We just had our top 2 centers not play against one of the biggest front courts in the league and our 3rd and 4th string centers played well… I think we are extremely deep.

    You say it’s a crap shoot but the consensus with Jaime was that he was nba ready on day 1.

    The team liked their roster and went with him because they knew he would be able to contribute almost immediately.

    Idk if you can say luck when it seems to happen all the time


  • Sure, but I think the longterm goal of staying competitive and not mortgaging our future assets is just as important, I think this team, like last years team is good enough as constructed is good enough to be there at the end and get lucky with injuries and win. I obviously think a trade at the deadline is necessary for us to just be outright favorites and win. But I think what everyone pushes back on is the idea that people on Reddit think they know BETTER than the front office. The general sentiment is “what are these idiots doing?” And I just think that the front office just keeps proving to people why they are one of the best in the league at evaluating talent and value on players.
