What's new

Anyone else bummed with this Team ?

Are people really disappointed with what Favors has done this year? He has gotten better every single year. I don't think he has come close to peaking. While he is not warrior per se, I think we all knew he was the quite type the moment he got here.
 
Not disappointed by the losses as I think the guys are giving good effort and the coach is giving them every opportunity to develop and learn which is what we have been waiting for.If we had talent like OKC had with KD and Westbrook it may have been a quick rebuild instead we have to implement a system which I believe takes more time. Not to mention we're developing a young team in the western conference which is like going to MIT with a 2nd grade reading level.
 
Hayward's the weak link in my opinion. Not a big fan of paying max money to a player who will never be a 1st option in a contender, which should be the final objective. Hope we didn't dig ourselves too big of a hole with this. My hopes right now are on Exum, Hood and Gobert. We need to redefine our 'core' imo.

G-time in December: 39% FGs, 27% 3pt.
 
Yes, and what does this tell ya.

It tells me there is room for concern as those numbers are eerily similar to last years numbers and it will be interesting to see if that's just who he is and November was the aberration or if November was a sign of progress from him.

I do think it is interesting, however that you are pinning your hopes on a late first round pick who is shooting an abysmal 28% FGs and 25% threes on the season. I'm not saying Hood can't and won't get better, but those numbers are frighteningly bad and late first round picks don't have the greatest success rate over the years. I guess what I'm saying is Hood has a chance to become a player, but don't get your hopes too high.
 
This situation is so much better than it could have been. If we aren't making a push for the playoffs, we want a shot at a difference maker. Even though we have some nice pieces, I think we're still missing the main piece/s that will take us to the next level. I know some people would be happy with a few more wins now, but I see this as being in denial of who we really are as a team. Right now I'm completely stoked that at least we aren't stuck in no man's land.

As far as expectations go, I'm good with where we are. I did kind of expect us to be better than we are, but I more than happy that it looks like we should get a decent shot at a potential franchise player.
 
Im not too disappointed with our players.

I think favors is a good starter and is playing about how I expect him too. Same goes for Hayward.
Burks has been a little disappointing but is trending up in December and I think will be a solid starter by the end of the year.
Kanter seems to be trying harder on defense and is not as good a player as I hoped or thought he could be, but he is still a decent player.
Trey is about what I thought he would be (a solid back up pg)
Gobert is better at this point in his career than I though he would be.
Exum and hood have been disappointing but im willing to give them a break during their rookie years.
Booker has been disappoint lately due to his good early start to the year.
jingles sucks bad
the rest never play so cant really disappoint

He's at 36% FG in December. That's 7 games played.

His sample size is tiny. Only 73 shots on the season. That's about two games for Kobe.

He shot 49% 2pt. and 42% 3pt. at Duke.
