wonder if now being a starter he will have to take a step back defensively because he can't pick up fouls like he could as a bench player. Sometimes you gotta make business decisions to stay in the game.

it does seem like his role is greatly diminished on this team. that should make him more effective

It lacks energy or a core or something. Unless it’s the Knicks in a game like today

Feels like a scrimmage All-Star redux

removing hand checking was the worst thing ever...and all rewarding the Harden/Trae Young like foul seeking.

But young kids nowadays like 120-130 pts a game with a bunch of scoring. But the sub 100 game with actual defense were more intense.
