We're used to bad shooting and winning. Rebounding like that is killer

When they zoomed frame with Goga and Zubac it looked like prime Shaq is defended by Shawn Bradley :lol:

That boy is biiiiig. Magic couldn't push him outside paint. And when Harden attacks lines, bigs need to step up, they leave Zubac who takes garbage and scores. Zubac /Harden picK&roll is one of better in nba, Zubac averages 12,4 RPG, that's 3rd most in nba. He is also 3rd in offensive rebounds per game (4,3) . We should have been prepared for this, but we simply do not have big capable of guarding this big , strong, massive Cs. Type of game where Carter and his 280 pounds would be very useful.

But at the end of a day when you score 93 points in modern nba, you will probably lose 95% of time.

Definitely too much politics, and KCP is defending so well. I don't think I'd do it either. I would, however, start JI yesterday. Such an obvious move with Paolo out and data pilling up that our starting lineup is mid.

Lineups aren't about your best 5. I'm all for AB and Isaac starting .. if we had a bench big defender (maybe with WCJ) and a capable guard but Cole and Jett and Gary cant be trusted right now to handle the ball.

I don't trust anybody but Franz and Paolo handle the ball on this team , i assume neither do Mosley, that's why he always kept Franz with bench unit :lol:

We were out rebounded by Clippers and Goga sat on the bench for the most of second half?

I really liked what i saw from A.Black. Solid D with tools to be solid playmaker.

We make opponents to take tough shots, lose when the opponent' tough shot makers works, 2 losses of OKC(Shai, Jalen), Houston(Alpi), Suns (KD, Booker) and one red hot A.Simons night a loss from Blazers makes out 7 of our losses. Though Shotmakers indeed. Would like this rematch with you have Paolo and We have Kawhi&Norman.

We could've used Wendell to match up with Zubac.

We definitely need another big that can rebound. Da Silva and Franz are below average rebounders.

There is where someone like @VFX or @skybox can fly in and say "i told you so".

If we want to look better in these losses. Notice I am saying better I am not saying we will win. Then we need to consider starting AB at PG and filing in his position coming up from the bench in a trade because the bench depth or the rotation overall is definitely a downgrade from last year.
