I cannot agree with this, he has a team that lacks heart. The players are either too stupid or just don't care. My guess the problem is all the offseason adulation has gone to their heads leading to a lack of effort in the early games and their lack of heart to dig themselves out of the issues in the more recent games. They believed they had already arrived before the game 1 tipoff.

As I said earlier every starter goes to the bench and has to earn their way back into the starting lineup, wins be damned.

You know what's sad (and what confirms my worst fear as far as drafting Dunn was concerned)? Once we dive into the draft (again), we're gonna dive into a draft full of young, promising PG's, most of whom will be better than Dunn already. Emphasizes why they shouldn't have gone that route.

Really restricts what Thibs can even attempt come draft night. Yeah, we're there already.

I don't blame Thibs for lack of effort. His game plan however has been poor.

The roster construction was poor too. If he's gonna de-emphasize PG so much, don't draft a PG. I wanted Hield or Sabonis personally, but Murray seemed like the happy medium Thibs could settle on and didn't take him.

Our pg has been de-emphasized because he has played like shit.

Hope were not talking about pg because of this game here. Its hard to win when your two stars shoot 6 of 30. No not mark madsen, our two supposed stars. On top of that wiggins gets 0 rebs and 0 assists. Thats right, with the ball being in his hands a large majority of the game he dishes out 0 assists. These kids want to put up hollow stats rather than win basketball games.

The full blame doesn't fall on the PGs but they're doing little to help overcome poor games by their two stars. The big guns will have off nights and the rest of the team will need to pick up the slack, which thus far hasn't been even close to happening.

Yowsers!

The lineup I have liked best so far is with Belly at the 3. Payne has earned the chance for playing time, much more than Bazz or Rush.

I can understand Thibs not making knee-jerk changes based on a handful of poor performances. But that handful has become a quorum!

Ricky was a minus 31 tonight with no points scored. In case you need clarification, that's not good.
