MB is a f'n idiot. His matching of the players is beyond fucking awful. Same as when he blew the Celtics series. The guy who is shooting BY FAR THE BEST gets taken out so we can leave Jarrett fucking Jack in. Why the fuck is Jack playing so much? 6m per year, my God. And I see a few blaming Jack's struggles on the O and that may be a part..but I have seen many times where he bypasses an easy pass to someone for a wide open shot so he can dribble and chuck a contested jumper. Our best player this year is averaging 20 min a night. Every time Dion and Kyrie break the D down and pass it to Clark, I am befuddled why he is there instead of CJ.
Our D looks awesome by the way, so great we are working on that.
And Grant is an idiot too. For the money we wasted on Jack and Clark, we could have signed Millsap and kept Livingston. Drafted Oladipo. Much better fitting pieces. We could have drafted Wroten AND Crowder (go look how good he is playing this year) and one other player instead of Zeller. SMH. Yes all revisionist history except many of us hated the draft moves when they happened. Where we were picking we should have taken three shots and hoped to hit high upside on one of them.
Philly w new coach, new system, just as young (every player they played tonight was 25 and younger), they don't look as lost. 4-2. And they have Noel and Moultrie and 2 firsts in a good draft coming.
I may as well burn my season tickets. At this point we may as well tank again. And I hate tanking. Irving to Orlando for Oladipo/Harris/2 firsts.
As for Kyrie, his struggles go back to last 9 games of last year, it is now 15 straight games without shooting over 50%. 15 games is starting to be a decent sample. Sub 35% FG. Sub 25% on threes over that time. And some of his misses are stunning. He missed quite a few wide open shots tonight, and they weren't close. Some of the issues are system, some are on Kyrie.
Yes I may be over reacting. I am a fan, that is what we do sometimes.
