Everything (2016-2017) Regular Season Game Threads

overreacting, expect nothing lower than 50

48-49 then...

[tonious35]

The amount of open 3s this team gives up is concerning. Same exact thing happened in Sacramento and vs Cleveland

This is Triano-bad defense

[The Great One]

Our D is really concerning. I've said this a million times already but they remind me so much of the 14-15 team.

After we got swept by the Wiz in the playoffs, remember what Masai said in his press conference? they need to play better D. They also need some rim protection. So in the offseason he added DC, CoJo and Biz.

DC is a SHELL of himself, Biz is gone. We're back to where we were. Noguiera is no rim protector. Dude plays like an idiot. I think JV is a better, more sound defender than him, hell I think Poeltl is a better defender than him.

We need to trade for a rim protector. I don't know who's out there though? Noel?

And no, Sullinger won't help our D.

[lewro]

You guys are putting too much hope into sully. He isn't going to help this porous defense. He will probably make it worse with his lack of foot speed and height

Agreed. He will help rebounding

Been saying this and laughed at for two weeks

Not enough for Cousins, too much for Noel.

And you're over-reacting.

Second trade is horrible for us.

[Lupe]

We're atrocious defensively. Offense is fine, but our defending is worse than 2014-15.

He will make it worse. Like you said he doesn't have the speed to guard the 4 at all, he mostly played 5 last season. Been saying this from day 1.

[rocwell]

Just watched the game. Expected worse tbh, our offence was working tho. Honestly, I'm not worried about defence.. just yet. Our schedule has been a killah so far. Next 30 days should be very interesting.

[KHD]

didn't watch the game after the 1st quarter. sounds like i made a good choice based on the comments here.

[Scraptor]

Okay we need to stop over reacting... The season just started, we will obviously regroup and get better. plus this year is all about playoffs, i still except a top 2 seed however would much rather do more in the playoffs.

And remember, JS is still out, when he comes back i expect us to even be better

God help us when Abbas is the voice of reason.

He's right though, no need to overreact just yet. If we lose to the Bucks though...
