Favors is a massive ***** and always has been. We were playing great without him.

My biggest issue with Favors is that we went with him over Millsap. That was a very dumb decision in hindsight. Millsap is a fighter who can do everything. Favors is an overhyped big who won't ever be as good. And most importantly, Millsap would compliment Gobert perfectly.It's funny to me how certain fans just absolutely have to find someone to blame. 2 of the 3 teams we just lost to are top teams in the league, and I'm pretty sure the whole team was responsible for blowing a 20 point lead against the Kings. Blaming Favors is dumb.
Millsap wasn't the player that he became in Atlanta. Going with Favors, a young, talented defensive big man with star potential, was a no-brainer. Millsap was on the wrong side of 20 and just didn't fit in age-wise with the rest of the roster we were putting together.My biggest issue with Favors is that we went with him over Millsap.

This team is just mentally weak and has no killer instinct...which is why rubbish teams can easily comeback from big deficits against us. When faced with our biggest challenge of the season (vs. Golden State), we fall like a house of cards. One bad blowout sends us into a 3 game losing streak and I totally won't be surprised if we lose to the Lakers next. Even with the injuries, we're still good enough to have 2-3 more wins than we have now. I still think we will make the playoffs just because Portland and Sacramento aren't that good, but I expect a quick exit. The season will be a success from the standpoint that we are better than we were before, but we are nowhere even close to being a true contender.
Perhaps it is the fans and not players that are mentally weak. Given the uphill battles the team has faced, the team is still in respectable position and perhaps might be even stronger for it. Players from the second unit are getting some extended minutes which could work in our favor when key pieces come back into play.
Although we are yet to see significant minutes with our true starters together, we should be able to hold our own if the cogs start to come together at the right time.
