KATA finally caught a rhythm and scored five points in 2 minutes

This dood took him out the game

I’m honestly at a loss. You had one coach that had no creativity. Now you have another coach that’s doing too much.

Whole team came in with weird energy whether it’s not taking Mike Brown coaching or whatever. Should have at least been ready to try hard.

Going under screens

And letting giddy destroy us :noway:


the team came out with zero intensity

honestly the look slow and old

we get up into them they make one or two dribbles and they drive right by us

we give them one step and they can't miss from 3


And its not just one player who is playing poorly. Its everyone.


And we have looked even worse in the 3rd quarters. This could get real ugly.

We are trying to please everyone and play 11 guys to start the season

Ideal rotation IMO is 9 players

However, we have starter-level played like Deuce and Josh coming off the bench who can handle 6th man minutes

Meanwhile the Bulls are putting everything into this game, like we did to start the season last year. I'm pretty sure this is what we were led to expect - trying combinations, guys learning to work with each other in new ways. That leads to uncertainty due to unfamiliarity with the system. The idea is we do this now to play better later. So if we play better later, it's all good. It's too early to draw conclusions. Even if all you enjoy doing is **** posting.

It’s experimentation bro. Just one more different line up. It’s going to eventually click. Just one more different line up. It’s surely gonna work next time.

thats not true

you can play fast and still get him looks. But there has to be some variety of the offense. Our base offense seems to be guard guard hand off...if that doesn't create a look go to a simple P&R with the big...

you gotta get KAT moving a bit...I'm not talking post up...but set a off screen to get him free for a look or drive. KAT's not even looking at the basket in some sets. Its a bit confusing or he just doesn't know his role in the offense.

I think you can let him walk. Teams with guys like Aller always figure something out. We signed Brunson when Woj said it was impossible


we won't have the money to sign anyone though. you gotta trade him for someone or you can't replace that amount of salary.


Letting anyone walk with a substantial salary slot is a non starter. You have to get someone to fill that slot or you lose it

Yeah they aren’t looking for him and operating within the system to get a quick shot up. It’s too chaotic and need to be cleaned up with more structure. They can use KAT to settle them down but aren’t running anything for him. I agree with Mpharris if he’s not getting scoring opportunities what is he even out there for?

We slowed the game down against Milwaukee and gave him 4 straight entire possessions to operate and Kyle kuzma shut him down

Towns works best off a quick decision. Quick 3, quick pump fake and blow by. Giving towns times to operate is almost as bad as giving OG time to operate. They ain’t Julius

Bench is real bad.

2 stars dont play defense

Cant win with a big who is a huge liability on defense

Paying 4 guys the majority of your cap is hard way to build a championship roster

All our youth kinda suck

Were paying 2 super roleplayers a lot of money.

Need more length and size

No real back up pg
