It's like the presence of Mitch instantly elevates both Mikal's and OG's defense

I think that's what IHart did for OG last season

This team feels different when Mitch is out there. They play with swag and grit

Like, the team is winning off pure talent. They're hitting their floor but nowhere close to their ceiling

Which is wild cause like, we're still a top 3-5 offense in the league.

Been saying it all year. People quote stats but the offense doesn't look good most of the time. Imagine if they actually drew up some creative plays/schemes to get guys easy/open looks. Instead it's just brunson spamming iso. Which he is elite at but still it's not maximizing the talent at all.

T on Morant.

Grizzlies are a good team, no shame if we lose on the road, but it's so frustrating how poorly we're playing. Should be closer.

Postgame Thibs will say we have to work Mitch back in and we're still gelling

Bridges is asked almost every game to defend the other teams best player and play 40+ minutes. He's gonna wear out. Thibs must go.

He looks fine, definitely out of sync and fatigued but that’ll be back by the end of March

He needs to be starting at center. His defense is 2123239028383047 times better than KAT. We need to play KAT at the 4.
