What things are we considering? That this is not a well-constructed team?

Yes.
They are not a well constructed team.
Isiah is not the GM to fix the same mess he made.
Isiah is not a very good coach although who could coach this roster? Nobody.

The other things you'd consider if you thought this was a team on the rise which I really don't but they are still considerations.

Injuries
New Faces.


As to injuries it's no longer an excuse when the same guys are always injured it's just reality that they are injury prone and not to be counted on.

New faces: Well, stop making changes, then stop realizing the changes you made stunk and trying to make more changes.


Yet, they are considerations all the same and factor in to a potential ceiling of ~41 wins and a possible playoff berth.


Not happy with it, just analyzing it for what it is.

I think he was taken out of the game mentally by the tussle with Foyle and the lack of touches. He's got to get mentally stronger when it comes to nights like this.

There in lies Curry biggest problem by far along with his defense. Is he actually afraid of picking up fouls on the defensive end thereby limiting presence on there? I'm a big fan of Zach and i think with him here there is less of a burden on Curry to score all by himself on the low block, freeing him up to contribute much more on the defensive end. Now with another bonafide low post scorer it isnt too late to reinvent himself slightly as a defensive presence. I mean the tools are there, the pressure to produce on offense has been reduced, what more can you ask?????
