This is the reality. Although we are young and play hard we are gonna lose a lot of games. We will win our share as well but missing our top player all year is too much. Honestly im not too angry. I just want the kids to play and grow,get KP in there for at least the last month,get another top pick,get ready for free agency and next year will be the start of great things.
Nice to see Mitch get some run and look good.

I don’t believe that. It’s about balance. We don’t have a balanced lineup right now. Starters or bench. When we have that we can thrive. Our bench is stronger than starters overall if you look at O and D both

Maybe. I just think is a uphill battle with what we are missing. I do think we will win games too but I just think next year will be the real start of playoff contention

I agree about balance and the bench being stronger than the starters. Hopefully the line up is shuffled a bit. Also, Mitch looks like he is ready for some minutes.

I don't understand this thinking. Steph Curry is a knockdown 3 point shooter. When he misses does that mean we should take the blinders off as well?
Every player will get beat defensively. You have to look at the larger body or work and do it honestly.

Yeah I didn’t understand that comment. Even the best defenders I’ve seen get beat sometimes. Impossible not to

Yup...cherry-picking at its worst.
But haters gonna' hate.
Frank
Timmy - just because (Ideally Knox is in starting 5) and Timmy is shipped to Turkey
Dotson
Mario
Kanter - just because
Baker -- at least Ron will kill himself or someone with effort while he is out there
Trier
Knox
Lance
Vonleh
Tired of Burke style of play and Timmy is a knucklehead....Kanter getting tired of him as well (always a step late to spot on D) and no rim protection (at all)
Mudiay - meh
Lance would be hard=pressed to find minutes on any other team in League
I'm very pleased with how dotson has progressed this season, he's not getting enough hype!

He is getting a lot of praise and deserves it. I loved the pick and I thought he got shafted last year a bit
After Summer League I thought I was wrong about my optimistic feelings towards Dotson from last year.
He was so brutal in summer league I really thought he was toast but he really does appear in elite condition right now.
I particularly like how aggressively he is attacking the rim when he does decide to take it to the basket and I like his overall rebounding on both ends.
One concern is I think Damian was afforded additional minutes towards end of last season and he kind of flopped -- unless my memory is failing.

Frank gets beat man to man more than sometimes. He is NOT a lock down defender yet. Excellent team defender. Someone disagrees with your opinion and automatically "he" is a hater. Get over it.
