Sure, we have more talent than the Knicks and underperformed tonight yet again.
The issue though remains the overall talent level Imo. We‘ve extended/signed all these bench players and the result you will get is inconsistency.
Powell/Kleber/DFS aren’t significantly better than dudes like Morris/Taj/Randle. They just aren’t. If anything that’s the same mold of players so we can’t expect these rather even matchups to go in our favor more often than not.
For whatever moronic reason we’ve locked ourselves into all these contracts though for years.
80% of the blame is on the front office Imo for their work this last June/July. We had $30M but ended up without a third starter. They also didn’t set us up for the future with their complete neglect of picking up assets (Iggy + 1st attached, Harkless + 1st......both wings who could have helped now and the picks could have boosted our chances in trades).
Carslisle isn’t without his faults but he’s still the same coach he was for years. I’d happily move on from him in general but that would have nothing to do with his performances this year.
