    That would be a huge improvement over 22 wins.

    Last year we were tanking with a stripped-down roster. This year the vets give us a floor of around 32 wins. The ceiling for this team depends on the growth of Sengun, Smith, and Green.

    That's why you never overreact in a good preseason game. Also, there's no need to overreact to a bad preseason game. I don't think anyone would be so stupid to believe a few days is enough for players to assimilate the new coach's scheme, People need to calm down and stop trying to trade the whole team away just because one bad preseason game.

    disagree. I'm not reacting to this 1 game. I'm stating that this game is no different that what we've seen from alpy over the first 164 games of his career. he continues to struggle against size and the nba is only getting bigger. no matter how smart or skilled he gets I'm not sure a below the rim center can be a starter in today's nba.

    I don't think he'll ever be that type of player. You don't ask Chris Bosh to handle full court presses dribbling the ball down the court.
