I partly blame the Rico Runs for our defense being bad this year. That style of basketball doesn't work in the NBA. It's good fun but Rico Runs are a bad development tool. Wish Scottie had spent the offseason drilling 3 balls and ball handling. Instead he's guarding Harden with his hands behind his back and convinced himself that's effective defense.

But this is what they're going to do and I just can't get behind this same team plus Jak for a full season....hope to be proven wrong

Lol. Blaming Rico Hines? Really? Rico runs worked wonders for Pascal, OG, Norm, Delon and Fred. The team obviously believes in their development methods to the point that they brought in Earl Watson and Rico himself.

Did you watch them? I watched a lot of them and it's bad basketball and not how you play in the NBA. No issue with it for fun or to spend time with other stars but it's not prepping you for NBA games it's instilling bad habits. Just because guys played on them doesn't mean it worked wonders for them. That's like saying playing in the all star game is a great way to elevate your play.

Porter was penciled in to be a rotation player, he's missed basically all season.
Precious has missed 26 games.
Pascal, OG, and Gary all with 10 plus.
Lets say that adds 5 more wins to this years total, that would put us tied for 5th.
Add in the addition of Jak for the full season next year, continued growth from Scottie, Koloko, and Precious, and a rookie contributor and that's a tough group.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

This team has climbed back to .500 after the majority of the season with key injuries and an incomplete roster. I would not be surprised to see this current team, with a small tweak, end up top 4 in the East next year.

Fingers crossed another year of development will yield better results for next season because it doesn't look like any big changes are coming.

Let's say they finished 5th next year. Then what? lose to the Sixers in the 1sr round? we need major changes here. We're not winning anything with the core players we have. This team's ceiling is first round.
What they need to do is prioritize the development of Barnes. Barnes last night had 18 in the 1st half. He barely got any touches in the 2nd half. How is that good for his development?Mamba Mentality

Every team deals with injuries though and really if Porter is considered a key injury then I don't know what to tell ya. There should be no excuses for how they have played for the bulk of the season. Agree that the roster was/is incomplete but we had more than enough talent to make do and have a better season.
