Decent start but bit too sloppy on offense...so many avoidable turnovers

If this team can execute the DLo- Gobert PnR plays better, it will become so much more efficient..right now, those plays are just not working consistently

KAT is absolutely cooking dudes offensively. Not sure I've seen him in this form in quite some time and he's not even shooting the 3 as well as he normally does.

And I don't understand why it hadn't work so far? DLo did some of that in BKN with Allen.

Those last 2 turnovers from Ant are so avoidable...it's these little mistakes that this team keeps on making consistently. Anyways, other than the turnovers they are playing quite well

Plumlee looking like a superstar out there.

The timeout was two processions too late. We are going to run ourselves out of the game.

Naz Reid time

Notice how once Gobert went out, we seem to have no one to defend the middle with CHA score a bunch of points close to the rim

can notice how vulnerable interior defense is when Gobert is off court vs when he is on court

Without Prince, Nowell really needs to step up to be a scorer off the bench. Not a great start.

Nowell's lack of consistent 3 point shot is what really lets him back

+ weak defense

Gobert really affects the game so much defensively near the rim

Nowell has gotta knock those shots down man...these are some pretty good looks

Not sure I was feeling Michael Grady at first but he's really grown on me now.

Rivers has been decent

He does and we haven't even seen him at his best yet, we have seen a lesser version mostly IMO.

These turnovers are killing us
