Anthony Edwards needs to stop complaining when he doesn't get calls. Really not a good habit.

Team has a lot of practice time right now. I think they will get comfortable with the simplified one center scheme. I really do expect us to play a lot better over the next 15 games or so. Might take a few games to get a grove but I think they will find one.

Our first unit has no firepower esp with dlo being super inefficient and if Edwards has an off night we're doomed. It'd be nice if we have a sniper like Joe Harris or even Seth Curry in the starting lineup. Maybe give Forbes a try.

We play dumb bball..guys need to stop going 1 on 3 make more passes. Not much ball movement in this offense. Hope Finch is on hot seat. We should be better than. 500.

Finch seems like the kind of guy that could draw up a few plays but we keep playing too fast and out of control. Dribble straight toward the basket and run over people.

It is very sad (or good, depends on your perspective) that WMJr is our best on ball defender just after 1.5 games. Let him stick to SGA for the rest of the game.

Man, Rudy can't get ejected like that. We need him. That said, we could still win this. Got to get some good guard play.

D'Angelo Russell's defensive effort has been phenomenal this game.
