    He’s not Ainge. But after that he’s with the next group.

    Cp3 out. 2nd game, less than 24 hours. EGO to start, makes bench weaker. Morey still has a move up his sleeve.

    Jeezus.

    Lou was really bad for us in the Playoffs 2 years ago. He was very inconsistent here.

    The reason Morey isn't overrated is because if this experiment continues to struggle, we know that he's not afraid to shake it up again. You win some, you lose some, but as a fan you have to appreciate a GM that takes reasonable risks. He has shown that he can turn over an entire roster very quickly.

    I say let Paul get back and let's see if the team has made any progress after 10 straight games together.

    If not, I'll start scoffing a little less at these panic threads.

    League makes adjustments, we need to find other ways to play to surprise our opponents.

    Agreed too that the roster is a mess. But even if we had retained everyone, we always need an edge.

    When Luc started hitting shots, the Clippers announcers literally said, "Who is this guy?"

    Morey is not overrated.

    But I wasn't optimistic after the offseason, unlike some people here who thought we were better. We are not. Last season we would have beaten the Clippers without Paul. Not with this squad.

    It's not Morey's fault that Ariza is gone. That 15M/yr contract is just too big to swallow. But Ariza's absence is the biggest hole we have now. No one is filling that hole. I was hoping Ennis could. But it doesn't look like it will happen soon.
