Is it possible

With Freeman and company starting to elevate their games, we could become competitive come mid January. Sorry , I know optimism is frowned on at this board , I’ll shut up. (With JJs return )

No

My bigger concern with Bell is he’s just not getting many looks from three. He has to have a quicker trigger. He seems to getting around three shots a game from three. If he takes 8-9, he will make 3-4.

Being that he’s the teams only proven outside threat, teams are taking it away and he doesn’t have the ‘want to’ to work through it. Like GMac did as a player.

JJ being out has killed our team. We need him back. We could count on him to score. I saw how hard the guys tried and how they responded when the crowd was cheering loudly for them. We would have won that game with Starling (duh). When does he come back? Mid January?

Defense.

I think we have a combination of not wanting to put in the effort and/or can't put in the effort consistently.

Players buy into defense when everyone is playing it hard as a unit and you get benched if your effort is not up to par.

If some players aren't going to do it and have to play anyways, well, you get what we have.

"Why should I bust my azz if he's not??"

That attitude is infectious.
