Somehow we put together a team of the collectively worst rebounders and least physical players in the league.

Kind of like how it was shocking when we had Wiggins, Lavine, and Towns but collectively they were some of the lowest fundamental IQ players ever. Sam Mitchel talked about how these guys didn't understand the very basic things like boxing out, passing, defense, etc. Lots of young players are clueless but I remember it being a disaster in the early years with them, they didn't know a damn thing.

Man, this season can't go any worse. Anthony Edwards is definitely badly injured.

Nah. Hurts like hell and he’ll be sore tomorrow, but he’s hurt, not injured.

Don't let him take these free throws, just take him out.

How are we SO bad at rebounding? Unbelievably bad. I thought we were at our worst in those playoffs as Clark destroyed us every night but this is even lower of a bar.

While I didn’t expect us to beat the bucks, we’re just not a versatile team. Too many one sided players. Most of them lean more towards offense but none are really elite at it besides Ant and Kat.

I think Ant and Kat can work but we need more versatility and specialists around them.

I think guys like Prince, Anderson and Matt Ryan could be beneficial as they don’t require many shots, but seem to play with higher IQ.

While I like Naz, him JN, JMac, Rudy, etc are expendable. Although Rudy isn’t going anywhere due to politics.

It's insane.

And it pisses me off when it's older guys. Like how does DLo think getting a rebound is beneath him? Or that defence is optional? At some point, after being on losing teams your entire career, do you not start to think "hey, maybe I'll try something different and see if that helps?"

Something is wrong

Call it gut instinct, but something stinks...

On the plus side, Ant was getting the whistle tonight. So...progress?

But also, some narratives should be dead now. DLo is useless, don't let the next hot stretch of 70% shooting fool you. And Reid is not a starting level C.

Oh and maybe there's something there with Ryan? At least while Prince is out.

Got out rebounded by 32.... Come on... 32... Just ridiculous. One of the worst rebounding teams I have ever seen.
