Dirk can't come soon enough

[asmarks18]

We lose this by double digits.

[asmarks18]

Mayo and Kaman will each have to score over 20 for us to even be close.

Collison is getting raped by CP3.

[asmarks18]

We crawl back in it and then turn it over multiple times.

Turnovers on this team are pathetic. There have been numerous passes into triple coverage which had no hope. And numerous times where PGs just couldn't even dribble up the court without losing it (Mayo, Collison and Fisher all once). It's really sad.

[carter15]

Brand sucks. He can't hit a midrange wide open jumper or even hold the ball without bobbling it. I haven't seen a big try and contest Chris Paul's super slow motion layup down the paint. They are just letting him waltz along. This team is pretty bad.

[carter15]

And I'm talking to myself, but this is what I meant by Fisher can hit jumpshots. He won't this this every game, but no other PG on the roster would hit 3 jumpers in a row including 2 3s.

He was 5-11 from the field. That's really not that impressive. 11 shots for 11 points. Also, in 27 minutes...he managed TWO assists. That's TERRIBLE for a point guard. Rondo, CP3, D-Will...those guys get assists. Even when they are on bad teams. Fisher hurts our ability to let young players take their lumps and grow, he hurts our team by taking 11 shots (he has no history that would ever suggest he should be taking 10+ shots a game) and he doesn't open his teammates up (see his assist numbers). The point guard isn't supposed to be on the receiving end of all their assists.

What young players again who we are talking about?
Man the average age of this league is around 26 ,so I won't consider a player a young player who w are waiting to develop unless he is under 25 ,that Roddy/Dojo/ (who both complete 25 next year,Roddy during the this season) and Jared in the guard spots,I don't see any of them being in our long term future plans ,may be Jared but he need to play in D-League for now ,actually I doubt we will give either Roddy or Collison their qualifying offer next year
And again,this is a team that is probably only thinking about making it to the play offs this year and nothing more

Nobody else on the roster is better at passing anyways, at least Fish can hit some shots. I'm not trying to say he's an All-Star PG here lol, don't compare him to the best, but he's better then what's on the roster.

When Dirk comes back he will make them better! They won't be a championship team, but I believe that Dirk will make this team improve.
