Good half.. Best half our trio has played together. Dlo and towns in sync with the pnr and pnpop. Loving it.

I like how Okogie is finally looking like a guy that knows what he is doing out there. Where to be. Anticipating so much now.

I think my favorite kind of team is one that plays tough defense. Just something so satisfying about seeing players put in the work and flourish off of that defense. I really do like what Memphis has done. It's more fun to watch to me than a team just bombing threes.

KAT dlo is looking like a good pair. His drop passes to KAT off screens are much crisper than other players and KAT will knock them down. We need to get other players like Ant and Culver specific action out of KAT post ups to give them looks. Doesn’t seem like they have structured action.

Towns looks pain-free unlike last game where he grimaced on every play

The Wolves are going to have to find someone off the bench who can score. At the moment, Edwards/Culver have completely collapsed and Rubio is struggling.

I'm also really happy we kept Beasley, so far he is absolutely living up to my expectations. Energy and offense. He's not great on D but appreciate him putting effort into it frequently (though not every time).

This should be the rotation right now:
Dlo
Beas
Okogie
Juancho
Kat

Ricky
Nowell
Ant(he has to play as rookie and n1)
Vando
Naz

We need more shooting in the 2nd unit, with Nowell we have more, it will be ideal if Ant start making some shots.

Lost the turnover battle 2-10 in the first half. Just clean that up and it's an easy win.

We should see if cavs interested in trading Nance Jr plus taurean prince for Culver and Huancho.

Dlo
Beasley
Prince
Nance Jr
Towns

Would complete our team.

Rosas/Ryan would need trepanning performed on them before they would sit Culver for Nowell time early in a game. That's just beyond their comprehension and draft locked brains.

Need to see Juancho and one of Culver/Ant come to life in the second half. Also need Rubio to start hitting some shots.

It's great to see us playing well but really concerning that the game is close. It feels like we should be winning by more.
