Do Not Sell My Personal Information
MirORich said:
Rubio and Markannen aren’t simply replacement level players. And Sexton isn’t coming back. And the replacement PG brought in to help in Rubio“s absence has now missed three times a many games as he has played.

You're going to hard time finding a team that would not struggle to make up for the losses of players like that.

So what do you freaking expect?

At our worst, we’ll play like this and either lose to good teams or win over crappy teams like OKC

At our best, we”ll look really good and win a bunch of games.

But yeah, you don’t simply get to say “the team has regressed” without giving full acknowledgment of the losses, another one suffered mid game today

Yes losses happens, but defensively we've regressed, rebounding is a huge concern and free throw shooting is abysmal. We were struggling with Markk in those areas and having Rubio only mask those things so much.
 
Individual stats:

Starters:

Markkanen 9-2-0 with a block in 13 minutes. He was on fire when he sprained his ankle.
Mobley 15-17-2 with a block in 39 minutes Career high in rebounds.
Allen 14-13-3 with 2 blocks in 34 minutes We miss him when he's not playing.
Okoro 8-5-1 with 3 steals and a block in 35 minutes. He played well, considering the abuse he was getting from RCF.
Garland 23-1-11 with a steal in 39 minutes.

Bench: 25-16-5 in 23 minutes. Weak performance tonight
Love 6-6-2 in 23 minutes. Off night for K Love.
Osman 10-1-1 in 19 minutes. Also an off night for Osman.
Stevens 6-2-0 in 13 minutes. Welcome back, Lamar!
Goodwin 0-3-1 with a steal in 9 minutes At least he gave Garland a rest.
Windler 0-1-1 in 4 minutes
Wade 3-3-0 with a block in 12 minutes.

There is no evidence we’ve regressed defensively in any significant way…we are the 3rd best DRTG in the league behind the Suns and Golden State.

I don’t know what to tell you.

Youre mistaking missed players and what they provide, both directly and indirectly, and calling it regression.

Ugly win, but we take those.

Windler absolutely has to play more minutes, especially if Lauri is out for any extended period.

If you're not going to shoot hardly any 3s you're just guaranteeing a bunch of competitive games with crappy teams who can shoot even a little bit. These Okoro-Wade-Mobley-Allen lineups cannot happen. It's an abomination.

Who do they start at the 2 and the 3 now? Stevens and Windler? Does Dean Wade re-enter the rotation? Love can't start at the 3, right? Goodwin needs to be OUT of the rotation, once Rondo is back.
 
It’s shocking to me that we’re 12th in offense. ORTG. Bet that’s started today tank since we lost Ricky.
