Man a common theme here is we just cannot hold leads and let teams come back from double digit deficits. This is like the 1st SA game all over again.

Absolutely not. You can't have Gordon/Book/Beal. Giving up too much size/length.

They're infinitely better on defense when KBD starts. It's blatant.


Gordon should be coming off the bench. Hopefully we're allowed to grab a buy out guy later in the year (Kyle Lowry/Brogdon??) to help fix this.

Also, once Sam Presti is running our team next year, he'll need to place an emphasis on development of young players. I'm worried that KD will be getting injured with all of these mins.


I seriously doubt Presti comes here because of our meddling owner and we our cupboard is bare when it comes to future draft picks.

Problem is our offense. We get hot and cold very quickly and easily. When we're cold and we get sloppy with turnovers, that turns into opportunities for the opposing team to score and get back into games.

I read somewhere that the 2 know each other actually. If true, our owner would be the main reason Presti comes.

Picks are an issue, but if there's anyone who knows how to aquire picks, it's Sam Presti.

Won't happen when they develop some chemistry and solid rotations but is going to look ugly at times early in the season

As JO's 3pt% has continued to tank, I'm just glad Grayson's is absolutely skyrocketing

Could you imagine if DA played with the passion of Grayson Allen?

Still integrating Beal and Book ain't even in there. But I kinda want one on the bench somewhere.
