When he gets hot, it’s borderline impossible to stop him. Let Demar beat you, not Lavine.

It shows how poor of a defender Barnes is. I don't understand the low hands defense he plays. No defense and no spacing is concerning, I wouldn't be surprised if the on/off with Achiuwa with the SL is better than having Barnes out there. This is getting concerning.

That’s on the coach, not Scottie. Plus FVV was the primary defender on Lavine, not Scottie.

If a complete casual like my self can realize Lavine would torch FVV and Scottie then maybe adjust your defensive schemes.

This is why I think switching out Fred for a high end 3 + D who can hit 40+ from 3Pt range would be the best move for us going forward. He's coming back though man, hate or love it. The FO doesn't want to lose an asset for nothing, and that's likely the case with Trent Jr.

New coaching philosophy is needed as well. Pressing guys up at near the half court line is just so idiotic in the modern NBA. Players are too skilled to be pressing them that hard.

I'm ready for Udoka. His schemes in Boston are better than ours

1st team - Jrue, OG, Mobley, JJJ, Lopez
2nd team - McDaniels, Dillon Brooks, Giannis, AD, Claxton


Good call. OG is first team for sure. deserving of it, that is. How selections work politically, not sure.
