The hatred around here is absolutely spiraling out of control. Must be weird enjoying being angry so much.

Our team of former All Stars is down 30 right now to a team of role-players and injury fill-ins. And this would be consecutive double-digit loss number 8. It feels like a gut check moment.

Even at my most pessimistic I didn't think the level of play would get this bad with this group of players. It's hard to even know where to point fingers at this point. This level of disinterest from a group of professionals transcends any and all easy explanation that I can come up with.
 
Im just more interested how truly awful this can get before Doug actually does what he says and benches the vets for not playing to "Kings Standard"

I'm not watching, but how in the actual hell, on the 2nd night of a B-B, does Nique/Keon have 5 minutes each, Carter nothing, in a game we've trailed by 30 for a majority of?

Think it shows the value quality chemistry, coaching, lineup building, rotations, etc. Because talent wise, as most of us predicted, this should be somewhere around a .500 team. But when you put a bunch of offense only lineups on the floor, that don't really care to play with each other or for each other... this is the result

It's like some strange doubling down on the approach, because of pride and a refusal to admit disaster

That's why they call it a gap year. All these guys fell into it.
 
The bright spot is I don't think even Vivek could look at another 30 point blow-out loss like this and think "you know what, this team will get right back on track if we trade for Khris Middleton"

Just keep getting these out of the way. Sooner the better
