You have your way of coping with it. Others have their's. Neither way is going to make this team any better or worse.
No one's blaming the loss solely on Jrue. Others have played poorly. There's one key difference between Jrue and those guys though. Jrue is being paid superstar money and, to whom much is given, much will be required. When AD has to leave in the 1st quarter, Jrue is one of the guys you need to step up and heavily contribute. He's seemingly incapable of that.
Agree with you on our last point. Just think it's sad that the solution to our problem is to bring in another point guard making significantly less and turning Jrue into a shooting guard when he's not that good of a shooter. Having said that, I hope that's just the change he needs to start lighting it up. I doubt it, but I'd be happy to be wrong.
This is a message board for discussion, nothing we do will have a real effect. It’s simply a matter of how you want to spend your time, crying over the past or discussing possible solutions.
There’s no discourse to “Boo hoo Jrue is on a terrible contract”, maybe it makes you feel better but it clearly doesn’t for long because people have to keep repeating it over and over again.
As I’ve said for awhile now, Let’s discuss what’s actually happening during the season, not what took place months ago and has already been discussed to death.
Or if you really want to be pissed and upset and complain about something, complain about the dumb stupid luck we have where 3 starters and 40% of our team is injured. No one does injuries like we do. We’d be in a totally different spot without the absolutely insane amount of injuries we have gotten.
