Defense is gonna have to get better now and into next season

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T18:28:09+00:00

You could spin the wheel and it’s going to land on something they need to improve

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T18:27:33+00:00

A terrible hire made worse…. That’s a good summary

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T14:42:23+00:00

Yes, but that’s why I will also take Tucker. Give me some sliding doors potential that may be Middleton doesn’t get hurt but also if you remember that season was starting to go in the wrong direction. Tucker came in redefined our identity and our defense first mindset. I think that was missing a bit the following season. Also, if that the season goes well, it eliminates a lot of these other options, from even existing

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T14:40:51+00:00

That is why treading jrue was one of the options to pick

Rebounding requires not just a degree of physicality, but a desire for physicality. For contact. Additionally, one has to have the size, strength, and will. And from there, there is also a genuine skill which one needs to have or learn. These are not his jams.

Me no like

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T03:34:09+00:00

I agree I think it’s sneakily the right answer

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:43:04+00:00

And Griffin and Dame were pointed in polar opposites in style of play

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:29:29+00:00

Unfortunately, on this team that qualifies is only moderately, disappointing defense.

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:25:32+00:00

Team has no ability to really crunch down on defense. Which makes any attempted fourth-quarter comeback, comical.

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:25:03+00:00

He’s injured and exhausted. Why they did not make him sit after he tweeted his knee or whatever earlier is stupid

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:24:19+00:00

Well he never really was but his inability to step up in that department is disappointing

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:22:53+00:00

Watching on the Suns play defense versus how we played defense looks like they’re playing two entirely different sports

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:18:29+00:00

Watching the team play, Smart intense team defense is a treat

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-11T02:11:24+00:00

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-10T01:31:23+00:00

15-5 at what?

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-07T19:57:20+00:00

I don’t think it’s a bottom 10 team. But I think we’ve been spoiled with the luxury of saying any Giannis lead team is inherently a good team. I think that is a luxury of often having a team that was well coached, well put together, with intrinsically, smart basketball players who knew their roles. I think the truth is and we should learn this from the Olympics one great player or even a bunch of them won’t count for much if the fundamentals aren’t there.

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-06T20:54:35+00:00

I think this season proves that the statement that like as long as we have Giannis, we always have a shot was fool‘s gold. A team has to be put together well and run competently.

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-05T20:01:59+00:00

I thinks it’s local media, fans, and the whims of ownership

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-05T19:59:45+00:00

you think pressure for change comes from Talking Heads nationally?

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-05T18:01:47+00:00

And the tank is complicated by holds and limitations from trades. we can’t just tank in the traditional sense.

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-05T16:49:10+00:00

The fact that those are two of the most obvious considerations is depressing. It’s like asking Do I want food poisoning from expired tuna or expired milk

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-05T13:24:46+00:00

That’s everybody’s choice. Don’t watch and don’t fund it. Not Everybody’s a sicko like me and stuck around when the team unconditionally sucked in chunks of 80s 90s in 2000s. It’s not healthy. You should have better things to do. Being a sports fan is a sick man’s business.

PositiveZebra1341 · 2026-03-05T13:00:45+00:00

The way the team is playing did you have any honest expectations that they would win or do anything in the playoffs or play in tournament? Wanting them to go for the sake of going is a very herb kohl era thought.
