[Lewenberg] Darko’s post-game message to his team: “Addressing individual problems cannot be bigger than the team. We just talked about it in the locker room and I told guys we’ve gotta be a team. We’ve gotta think about what we need to do to help the team win… We’ve got to stay together.”

  1. That’ll last another 2-3 games then it’ll turn ugly

  2. OGnotAnunoby

    So the selfishness is still around lol good luck with those guys

  3. Chief_White_Halfoat

    If we’re talking about being a team four games into the season. It’s not going to be a goods season.

  4. Apprehensive_Oil_484

    Not easy when 3/4 ths of the roster are trying to prove themselves for reasons other than winning. If this team does not improve within the first 25-30 games of the season there has to be a trade

    we just don’t hit our shots. sharing the ball is fun and all but if the person shooting the ball isn’t talented enough then the possession is just wasted.

    I don’t ever see our bench unit keeping us in the game.

    LOL DIDNT MASAI SAID HOW LAST WE WERE SELFISH AND THIS WOULDNT HAPPEN AGAIN

    WE FIRED NURSE FOR THIS

    The team went 4/29 from 3 tonight. A 0.5 offensive scheme isn’t going to work when nobody can shoot and everyone wants to operate in the paint.

    Darko is set up to fail and any team that can shoot the 3 ball has this teams number.

    “Individual problems?”

    Who’s this referring to I wonder? Trent has been pretty damn selfish so far this season. So has Boucher. Probably others as well. Guys just popping 3’s with tons of time left on the clock, or looking for themselves.

    Dennis, despite the assists total, does a lot of this too.

    I’m not sure how you fix all this.

    All I know is Scottie, Gradey & OG are the only guys I want us building around. Christian too, once he’s healthy. We’re probably stuck with Poeltl as well. Everyone else can go.

    Hard to imagine selfless play when you have 3 players in contract years.

  10. CazOnReddit

    You know what helps with players not being selfish?

    Paying them so you don’t have 4 of them in a contract year

  11. So in other words, players are being selfish again.

  12. Thealk3mist

    I’m being honest. If we fired Nurse for a problem we’re having still, this is on Masai

  13. kdottdot

    We didn’t pay our players.

    We didn’t trade our players.

    We just play our players.

    Our players just throw up prayers.

    But prayers don’t pay.

    Our layups don’t lay.

    Our defense is cray.

    But these are Dark-o days.

    We could have gone in so many ways.

    But we chose to 6’9 it all the way.

    Probably wouldn’t have helped if we got Dame

    And this whole season bout to feel like a Holiday

    Buckle up boys and God bless our eyes

    As we close them for the season to trust in Masai

    #MasaiFixThisPlz

    We get it Darko…the “team” stinks…lol being a “team” isn’t going to make you good when you suck…talk to Masai and Bobby and tell them to pull their heads out of their asses before your entire team implodes and the veterans like Siakam start to turn on you

  15. Raptorsthrowaway1

    At least we dont have 3 of our top 6 players walking into unrestricted free agency

  16. Pastymoonburn

    Darko was talking about pace as well in his postgame. Then why is Dennis starting? We shouldn’t have two pace-setters on at the same time for the bulk of the minutes. Let Scottie be the main pace-setter. Start Gary or Gradey. We need more shooting. I feel like Dennis can kill momentum sometimes with ill-advised shots. Dennis should be 6th man.

  17. ilickedysharks

    I feel bad for Darko lol going to a team without a functional roster that tried to trade their best player in the off-season and now is there

  18. Graiello

    Someone gotta teach Gary to pass. Or shoot for that matter. Ah hell, who am I kidding, we have to teach everyone on this team not named Dick to shoot.

    Edit: OG get a pass as well.

  19. Sad_Escape2025

    Good. Every single guy is in a shooting slump even Barnes. This is how it should be adressed imo

  21. Apprehensive_Comb979

    stay together in what? him as a coach can’t even drawn a play. Darko officially our tank commander

  22. Graboooo

    LOL asking for teamwork when your top players are UFAs on expiring contracts playing for extensions. That’s rich.

  23. TJStrawberry

    Sorry but when you’ve got a bunch of guys in contract years they’re all betting on themselves no matter what.

  24. Exceptionalwizard

    He has lost control of the locker room
    Who says we have to stick together?

  25. CaptainIndoCanadian

    Why do they look so lifeless? It sometimes feels like the vets don’t like Scottie trying to take control and become the #1 option or smtn. Everyone looks so dejected.

    We get pissed at Pat Bev but like…he’s right. 0 dogs.
